"A regression error specification test (RESET) for generalized linear models"
نویسنده
چکیده
Generalized linear models (GLMs) are generalizations of linear regression models, which allow fitting regression models to response data that follow a general exponential family. GLMs are used widely in social sciences for fitting regression models to count data, qualitative response data and duration data. While a variety of specification tests have been developed for the linear regression model and are routinely applied for testing for misspecification of functional form, omitted variables, and the normality assumption, such tests and their applications to GLMs are uncommon. This paper develops a regression error specification test (RESET) for GLMs as an extension of the popular RESET for the linear regression model (Ramsey (1969)). Applications of the RESET to three economic data sets are presented and the finite sample power properties are studied via a Monte Carlo experiment.

Evaluating Eigenvector Spatial Filter Corrections for Omitted Georeferenced Variables
The Ramsey regression equation specification error test (RESET) furnishes a diagnostic for omitted variables in a linear regression model specification (i.e., the null hypothesis is no omitted variables). Integer powers of fitted values from a regression analysis are introduced as additional covariates in a second regression analysis. The former regression model can be considered restricted, wh...

متن کاملTesting Linearity in Cointegrating Relations With an Application to Purchasing Power Parity
This article shows that when applied to nonstationary time series, the conventional Regression Error Specification Test (RESET) leads to severe size distortion and its asymptotic distribution involves a mixture of noncentral χ2 distributions. Nonstationarity introduces bias terms in the limit distribution, and appropriate corrections for the bias are presented leading to a modified RESET test t...

A comparative workflow, including linear and non-linear QSAR models, was carried out to evaluate the predictive accuracy of models and predict the inhibition activity of a series of aryl-substituted isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones. The data set consisted of 34 compounds was classified into the training and test sets, randomly. Molecular descriptors were selected using the genetic algorithm (GA) as a f...

Introduction Selection the appropriate statistical model for the response variable is one of the most important problem in the finite mixture of generalized linear models. One of the distributions which it has a problem in a finite mixture of semi-parametric generalized statistical models, is the Poisson distribution. In this paper, to overcome over dispersion and computational burden, finite ...
