Sampling & Survey # 9 – Regression Estimation

Today, we shall look at regression estimation. We will begin by looking at the usual & simple straight line regression model: y = B_0 + B_1 x. Let \hat{B_1} and \hat{B_0} by the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression coefficients of the slope and intercept.
\hat{B_1} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2} = \frac{s_{xy}}{s_x^2} = \frac{r s_y}{s_x}
\hat{B_0} = \bar{y} - \hat{B_1} \bar{x}

Precision is increase, that is SE(\hat{\bar{y}}_{reg}) < SE(\bar{y})

We conclude here by observing that ratio or regression estimators give greater precision that \hat{t_y} when \sum_{i=1}^n e_i^2 for the method is smaller than \sum_{i=1}^n (y_i - \bar{y})^2
