Session 3: Quantitative Methods: Quantitative Methods for Valuation Reading 12: Multiple Regression and Issues in Regression Analysis
LOS c: Calculate and interpret (1) a confidence interval for the population value of a regression coefficient, and (2) a predicted value for the dependent variable, given an estimated regression model and assumed values for the independent variables.
Consider the following estimated regression equation, with standard errors of the coefficients as indicated:
Salesi = 10.0 + 1.25 R&Di + 1.0 ADVi ? 2.0 COMPi + 8.0 CAPi where the standard error for R&D is 0.45, the standard error for ADV is 2.2, the standard error for COMP 0.63, and the standard error for CAP is 2.5.
Sales are in millions of dollars. An analyst is given the following predictions on the independent variables: R&D = 5, ADV = 4, COMP = 10, and CAP = 40.
The predicted level of sales is closest to:
