Homework 2
| Part I: Objective: Use the Gretl program
to analyze the relationship between Y (weight) and X (height) from the
data described in Example 1.4 (contained in the htwt1.csv
file) on pp. 18-20.
A. Programming: Click here for programming directions. Note: this data is cross-sectional data, i.e., it's measured across individuals at a point of time. B. Assignment: i. Generate descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations,
minimums and maximums) for the Y and X variables and briefly discuss.
How is each variable measured specifically?
Part II: Objective: Use the Gretl program to analyze the relationship between PRICE and SQFT from the data described in Example 1.5 (contained in the house1.csv file) on pp. 20-23. A. Programming: Click here for programming directions. Note: this data is cross-sectional data, i.e., it's measured across houses at a point of time. B. Assignment: i. Generate descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations,
minimums and maximums) for the PRICE and SQFT variables and briefly discuss.
