Grade: /10

Overview

The purpose of this short exercise is to give you some practice with the basics of multivariate regression. In this exercise you will:

Run a regression model in R (code provided)

Write out the population linear regression model

Write out the OLS prediction line

with estimates

without estimates

Interpret value of regression coefficients

Calculate predicted values

Load libraries and dataset

Run descriptive statistics and regression

Variables

The dependent variable is high school reading test score, bytxrstd

variable label: Reading test standardized score

The continuous independent variable is parent_income000

variable label: continuous measure of base year parental household income, calculated from categorical variable byincome

Note. This is parent income in $thousands (e.g., value of 62.5 refers to $62,500)

so a “one-unit” increase in this variable would be a $1,000 increase in parent income

The categorical independent variable is school control (e.g. public school, Catholic private school, or non-Catholic private school) bysctrl

variable label: School control

Your job in this section is just to run the provided code
