Section 28 Estimates: Hypothesis Testing


28.1 Estimates: Effects


\[ \large fm \leftarrow lm(SBP \sim BMI, \space data=BP) \]

\[ \large summary(fm) \]


Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 36.2037 1.4801 24.4601 0
BMI 2.6323 0.0590 44.5940 0


28.2 Explanation

Statistical Model

\[ \large y_{i} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_{i} + \epsilon_{i} \]


Hypothesis

Intercept

\[ \large H_O: \beta_0 = 0 \] \[ \large H_A: \beta_0 \ne 0 \]


Regression coefficient

\[ \large H_O: \beta_1 = 0 \]

\[ \large H_A: \beta_1 \ne 0 \]


Test Statistic under the Null Hypothesis

Intercept

\[ \large \hat\beta_0 / SE(\hat\beta_0) \sim t_{df_{residual}} \]

Regression coefficient

\[ \large \hat\beta_1 / SE(\hat\beta_1) \sim t_{df_{residual}} \]
