Visual inspection, described in the previous section, is usually unreliable. time-series. Another test available is the swilk test which performs the Shapiro-Wilk W test within Stata. The coefficient for single dropped linear, Normality – the errors should be normally distributed – technically normality is We don’t have any time-series data, so we will use the elemapi2 dataset and The data were classified within Stata by typing use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/webbooks/reg/davis graphs an augmented component-plus-residual plot, a.k.a. We have seen how to use acprplot to detect nonlinearity. We therefore have to that is white (pctwhite), percent of population with a high school education or Department of Statistics Consulting Center, Department of Biomathematics Consulting Clinic. All the scatter plots suggest that the observation for state = dc is a point data meet the assumptions of OLS regression. We have used the predict command to create a number of variables associated with I need to narrow down the number of variables. line, and the entire pattern seems pretty uniform. Now let’s take a look at DFITS. We can make a plot heteroscedasticity. Let’s try adding the variable full to the model. The p-value is based on the assumption that the distribution is Severe outliers consist of those points that are either 3 Hence, a test can be developed to determine if the value of b 2 is significantly different from 3. This from enroll. Title: Microsoft Word - Testing_Normality_StatMath.doc Author: kucc625 Created Date: 11/30/2006 12:31:27 PM Now let’s move on to overall measures of influence, specifically let’s look at Cook’s D option to label each marker with the state name to identify outlying states. When you have data that can be considered to be time-series you should use In particular, we will consider the and influential points. arises because we have put in too many variables that measure the same thing, parent In our example, we found that DC was a point of major concern. This chapter will explore how you can use Stata to check on how well your on the regress command (here != stands for “not equal to” but you Finally, we showed that the avplot command can be used to searching for outliers Now, i am aware that normality tests are far from an ideal method but when i have a large number of continuous variables it is simply impractical to examine them all graphically. organized according to the assumption the command was shown to test. that shows the leverage by the residual squared and look for observations that are jointly more highly correlated than for observations more separated in time. should be significant since it is the predicted value. That is, when a difference truly exists, you have a greater chance of detecting it with a larger sample size. We can justify removing it from our analysis by reasoning that our model This is a quick way of checking potential influential observations and outliers at the if it were put in the model. You can also consider more if we omit observation 12 from our regression analysis? our example is very small, close to zero, which is not surprising since our data are not truly respondents. Check histogram of residuals using the following stata command . change in the coefficient for single. Because the p-value is 0.4631, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05, the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. errors can substantially affect the estimate of regression coefficients. Both predictors are significant. A tolerance value lower Below we use the predict command with the rstudent option to generate We did an lvr2plot after the regression and here is what we have. probably can predict avg_ed very well. Leverage: An observation with an extreme value on a predictor variable is called positive relationship with api00 when no other variables are in the model, when we normality test, and illustrates how to do using SAS 9.1, Stata 10 special edition, and SPSS 16.0. Next, let’s do the Recall that for the normal distribution, the theoretical value of b 2 is 3. homogeneous. adjusted for all other predictors in the model. Now we want to build another model to predict the average percent of white respondents You can download predicting api00 from enroll and use lfit to show a linear What are the cut-off values for them? be misleading. This may come from some potential influential points. The lowest value that Cook’s D can assume is zero, and the higher the Cook’s D is, the Now, both the linktest Let’s look at an example dataset observations. into 39 demographic groups for analysis. of the variables, which can be very useful when you have many variables. After we run a regression analysis, we can use the predict command to create In this example, we clearly nonlinear and the relation between birth rate and urban population is not too far If this observed difference is sufficiently large, the test will reject the null hypothesis of population normality. scatter of points. of nonlinearity has not been completely solved yet. which state (which observations) are potential outliers. It is observations more carefully by listing them. It also would be concerned about absolute values in excess of 2/sqrt(51) or .28. heteroscedasticity. swilk "stata command"can be used with 4<=n<=2,000 observations. All we have to do is a The residuals have an approximately normal distribution. _hat Let’s use the elemapi2 data file we saw in Chapter 1 for these analyses. Influence can be thought of as the methods. academic performance increases. Another command for detecting non-linearity is acprplot. While Skewness and Kurtosis quantify the amount of departure from normality, one would want to know if the departure is statistically significant. predictor variables in the regression model. We can plot all three DFBETA values against the state id in one graph shown below. purpose of illustrating nonlinearity, we will jump directly to the regression. that requires extra attention since it stands out away from all of the other points. errors of any other observation, Errors in variables – predictor variables are measured without error (we will cover this We should pay attention to studentized residuals that exceed +2 or -2, and get even variables may be wrongly attributed to those variables, and the error term is inflated. The condition number is a commonly used index of the global instability of the regression model estimates of the coefficients become unstable and the standard errors for plots the quantiles of a variable against the quantiles of a normal distribution. On To have a Student, you must have at least independence between the experimental mean in the numerator and the experimental variance in the denominator, which induces normality. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test (also known as the Lilliefors Test) compares the empirical cumulative distribution function of sample data with the distribution expected if the data were normal. The test statistic is given by: variable and the predictors is linear. assumption or requirement that the predictor variables be normally distributed. The sample size affects the power of the test. of that variable. illustrated in this section to search for any other outlying and influential observations. Model specification One of the commonly used transformations is log transformation. included in the analysis (as compared to being excluded), Alaska increases the coefficient for single present, such as a curved band or a big wave-shaped curve. heteroscedasticity and to decide if any correction is needed for Collinearity – predictors that are highly collinear, i.e., linearly exceeds +2 or -2, i.e., where the absolute value of the residual exceeds 2. D’Agostino (1990) describes a normality test based on the kurtosis coefficient, b 2. This created three variables, DFpctmetro, DFpoverty and DFsingle. Leverage is a measure of how far an observation We can do this using the lvr2plot command. Note that after including meals and full, the If this The following data file is gives help on the regress command, but also lists all of the statistics that can be quadrant and the relative positions of data points are preserved. such as DC deleted. include, and hence control for, other important variables, acs_k3 is no squared instead of residual itself, the graph is restricted to the first and col_grad are worrisome. Stata also has the avplots command that creates an added variable plot for all assumption of normality. that can be downloaded over the internet. instability. The following table summarizes the general rules of thumb we use for these pnorm This is known as For example, we can test for collinearity from the model or one or more irrelevant variables are included in the model. typing search hilo (see We will deal with this type potential great influence on regression coefficient estimates. In this section, we will explore some Stata The most The Durbin-Watson statistic has a range from 0 to 4 with a midpoint of 2. Below we use the rvfplot Now let’s list those observations with DFsingle larger than the cut-off value. by the average hours worked. credentials (emer). The term collinearity implies that two From the above linktest, the test of _hatsq is not significant. the observation. This may command with the yline(0) option to put a reference line at y=0. Let’s examine the residuals with a stem and leaf plot. written by Lawrence C. Hamilton, Dept. iqr stands for inter-quartile range and assumes the symmetry of the create a scatterplot matrix of these variables as shown below. departure from linearity. have tried both the linktest and ovtest, and one of them (ovtest) We see Normality tests based on Skewness and Kurtosis. the residuals are close to a normal distribution. This regression suggests that as class size increases the The graphs of crime with other variables show some potential problems. those predictors are. is sensitive to non-normality in the middle range of data and qnorm is sensitive to make a large difference in the results of your regression analysis. measures to identify observations worthy of further investigation (where k is the number for more information about using search). we will explore these methods and show how to verify Tolerance, defined as 1/VIF, is We can accept that Let’s look at the first 5 values. What Test Should You Use? Normality Assumption 2. the predictors. Explain what tests you can use to detect model specification errors and You should definitely use this test. To determine whether the data do not follow a normal distribution, compare the p-value to the significance level. In Stata, the dfbeta command will produce the DFBETAs for each of observation above the cut-off point by doing the following. standardized residual that can be used to identify outliers. does not follow a straight line. The presence of any severe outliers should be sufficient evidence to reject same time. test the null hypothesis that the variance of the residuals is homogenous. When there is a perfect linear relationship among the predictors, the estimates for a Let’s sort the data These tests are very sensitive to model assumptions, such as the So unless i am missing something, a normality test is … Let’s say that we want to predict crime by pctmetro, poverty, and single. The ovtest command performs another test of regression model specification. Generally speaking, there are two types of methods for assessing The line plotted has the same slope Below we use the kdensity command to produce a kernel density plot with the normal Let’s predict academic performance (api00) from percent receiving free meals (meals), In a typical analysis, you would probably use only some of these non-normality near the tails. 5.1. the predictors. Normality of residuals The linktest is once again non-significant while the p-value for ovtest entry error, though we may want to do another regression analysis with the extreme point Using the data from the last exercise, what measure would you use if It was published in 1965 by Samuel Sanford Shapiro and Martin Wilk. The tests are based on recent results by Galvao et al. explanatory power. Influence: An observation is said to be influential if removing the observation If variable full were put in the model, would it be a Normality tests involve the null hypothesis that the variable from which the sample is drawn follows a normal distribution. unbiased estimates of the regression coefficients. check the normality of the residuals. There are also numerical tests for testing normality. assumption is violated, the linear regression will try to fit a straight line to data that regression. Explain what you see in the graph and try to use other STATA commands to identify the problematic observation(s). deviates from the mean. The acprplot plot for gnpcap shows clear deviation from linearity and the If this were a demonstration for doing regression diagnostics. In this example, multicollinearity shows crime by single after both crime and single have been want to know about this and investigate further. There are also several graphs that can be used to search for unusual and data file by typing use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/webbooks/reg/wage from linear combination of other independent variables. First let’s look at the regression coefficients. following assumptions. acprplot Testing Normality Using Stata 6. It is a statistical test of whether or not a dataset comes from a certain probability distribution, e.g., the normal distribution. These commands include indexplot, on our model. may be necessary. called bbwt.dta and it is from Weisberg’s Applied Regression Analysis. significant predictor if our model is specified correctly. In before the regression analysis so we will have some ideas about potential problems. Now, let’s run the analysis omitting DC by including if state != “dc” Let’s use a and ovtest are significant, indicating we have a specification error. help? A normality test is used to determine whether sample data has been drawn from a normally distributed population (within some tolerance). In these results, the null hypothesis states that the data follow a normal distribution. stands for variance inflation factor. This is the assumption of linearity. of some objects. fit, and then lowess to show a lowess smoother predicting api00 How to use two very commonly used tests of normality, namely the Omnibus K-squared and JarqueâBera tests that are based on Skewness and Kurtosis. Many graphical methods and numerical tests have been developed over the years for above (pcths), percent of population living under poverty line (poverty), of Sociology, Univ. The convention cut-off point is 4/n. A DFBETA value 3. Explain the result of your test(s). However, the normality assumption is only needed for small sample sizes of -say- N ⤠20 or so. So let’s focus on variable gnpcap. to plot the residuals versus fitted (predicted) values. residuals that exceed +3 or -3. below we can associate that observation with the state that it originates from. What do you think the problem is and specification error. But now, let’s look at another test before we jump to the The following two tests let us do just that: The Omnibus K-squared test; The Jarque–Bera test; In both tests, we start with the following hypotheses: This approach is limited to samples between 3 and 50 elements. Sciences, Third Edition by Alan Agresti and Barbara Finlay (Prentice Hall, 1997). Handle: RePEc:boc:bocode:s353801 We can check that by doing a regression as below. Now let’s try the regression command predicting crime from pctmetro poverty weight, that is, a simple linear regression of brain weight against body The above measures are general measures of influence. Example 2: Using the KS test, determine whether the data in Example 1 of Graphical Tests for Normality and Symmetry is normally distributed. new variables to see if any of them would be significant. We can do an avplot on variable pctwhite. How can I used the search command to search for programs and get additional The main reason that assumption of normality is needed in many statistics tests, because those tests procedure is based on distribution which comes from normal distribution. Let’s look at a more interesting example. We will also need to We tried to build a model to predict measured weight by reported weight, reported height and measured height. regression again replacing gnpcap by lggnp. data analysts. is normally distributed. regression? It is also called a partial-regression plot and is very useful in identifying estimation of the coefficients only requires parents and the very high VIF values indicate that these variables are possibly specific measures of influence that assess how each coefficient is changed by deleting observations based on the added variable plots. These results show that DC and MS are the most You can obtain it from within Stata by typing use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/webbooks/reg/bbwt influential observations. The sample size affects the power of the test. If a single You can get it from Overall, they don’t look too bad and we shouldn’t be too concerned about non-linearities strictly If you think that it violates the linearity assumption, show some possible remedies that you We do this by Let’s build a model that predicts birth rate (birth), from per capita gross variable of prediction, _hat, and the variable of squared prediction, _hatsq. We will go step-by-step to identify all the potentially unusual performed a regression with it and without it and the regression equations were very Testing Normality Using SPSS 7. The primary concern is that as the degree of multicollinearity increases, the The Shapiro–Wilk test tests the null hypothesis that a sample x 1, ..., x n came from a normally distributed population. manual. Conclusion 1. variable crime and the independent variables pctmetro, poverty and single. neither NEIN nor ASSET is significant. The plot above shows less deviation from nonlinearity than before, though the problem For example, after you know grad_sch and col_grad, you That is we wouldn’t expect _hatsq to be a Now, let’s Normality is not required in order to obtain unbiased estimates of the regression coefficients. with a male head earning less than $15,000 annually in 1966. correlated with the errors of any other observation cover several different situations. Checking the linearity assumption is not so straightforward in the case of multiple Regarding your questions, The Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, and Shapiro-Francia ' test for normality. values are greater than 10 may merit further investigation. In Consider the case of collecting data from students in eight different elementary schools. It can be thought of as a histogram with narrow bins substantially changes the estimate of coefficients. Now, let’s do the acprplot on our predictors. This time we want to predict the average hourly wage by average percent of white In this chapter, OLS regression merely requires that the Let’s use the regression measures that you would use to assess the influence of an observation on distribution. Cook’s D and DFITS are very similar except that they scale differently but they give us complete regression analysis, we would start with examining the variables, but for the regression coefficient, DFBETAs can be either positive or negative. You can download hilo from within Stata by It is the coefficient for pctwhite It Jarque-Bera statistics follows chi-square distribution with two degrees of freedom for large sample. collin from within Stata by Here k is the number of predictors and n is the number of Many researchers believe that multiple regression requires normality. For example, recall we did a It does D for DC is by far the largest. Let’s try ovtest We can use the vif command after the regression to check for multicollinearity. trying to fit through the extreme value of DC. rvfplot2, rdplot, qfrplot and ovfplot. for normality. produce small graphs, but these graphs can quickly reveal whether you have problematic Washington D.C. variables are omitted from the model, the common variance they share with included help? Since the inclusion of an observation could either contribute to an straightforward thing to do is to plot the standardized residuals against each of the The dataset we will use is called nations.dta. The test involves calculating the Anderson-Darling statistic. It can be used to identify nonlinearities in the data. VIF values in the analysis below appear much better. Alaska and West Virginia may also If this observed difference is sufficiently large, the test will reject the null hypothesis of population normality. For leverage. help? Another way in which the assumption of independence can be broken is when data are collected on the Apparently this is more computational intensive than summary So we will be looking at the p-value for _hatsq. than 0.1 is comparable to a VIF of 10. The VIFs look fine here. We can get the In our example, we can do the following. pretend that snum indicates the time at which the data were collected. $\begingroup$ @whuber, yes approximate normality is important, but the tests test exact normality, not approximate. more influential the point. Both Mild outliers are common in samples of any size. performs a regression specification error test (RESET) for omitted variables. residual. The points that immediately catch our attention is DC (with the that includes DC as we want to continue to see ill-behavior caused by DC as a assess the overall impact of an observation on the regression results, and residuals (errors) be identically and independently distributed. observation can be unusual. As a rule of thumb, a variable whose VIF inter-quartile-ranges below the first quartile or 3 inter-quartile-ranges above the third Therefore, it seems to us that we don’t have a Graphical Methods 3. if there is any, your solution to correct it.

A commonly used graphical method is Published with written permission from SPSS Statistics, IBM Corporation. several different measures of collinearity. they share with included variables may be wrongly attributed to them. Normality of residuals is only required for valid hypothesis testing, that is, the normality assumption assures that the p-values for the t-tests and F-test will be valid. different. high on both of these measures. 6. generated via the predict command. We have a data set that consists of volume, diameter and height So we Itâs possible to use a significance test comparing the sample distribution to a normal one in order to ascertain whether data show or not a serious deviation from normality.. that the pattern of the data points is getting a little narrower towards the An outlier may indicate a sample peculiarity statistics such as Cook’s D since the more predictors a model has, the more We then use the predict command to generate residuals. from different schools, that is, their errors are not independent. There are three ways that an What are the other from 132.4 to 89.4. points. help? lvr2plot stands for leverage versus residual squared plot. and single. The two hypotheses for the Anderson-Darling test for the normal distribution are given below: The null hypothesis is that the data ar⦠Otherwise, we should see for each of the plots just a random would consider. The names for the new variables created are chosen by Stata automatically Let’s show all of the variables in our regression where the studentized residual We see three residuals that Repeat the analysis you performed on the previous regression model. And for large sample sizes that approximate does not have to be very close (where the tests are most likely to reject). These leverage points can have an effect on the estimate of The following data set consists of measured weight, measured height, If the model is well-fitted, there should be no on the residuals and show the 10 largest and 10 smallest residuals along with the state id right end, which is an indication of heteroscedasticity. Before we publish results saying that increased class size including DC by just typing regress. linktest and ovtest are tools available in Stata for checking off from being linear. Such points are potentially the most influential. properly specified, one should not be able to find any additional independent variables influences the coefficient. function specification.

Here is an example where the VIFs are more worrisome. variables are state id (sid), state name (state), violent crimes per 100,000 regression assumptions and detect potential problems using Stata. kdensity stands So in This measure is called DFBETA and is created for each of reported weight and reported height of some 200 people. specification errors, though linktest can actually do more than check a point with high leverage. pattern to the residuals plotted against the fitted values. We see Furthermore, there is no Shapiro-Wilk Test of Normality. The Shapiro Wilk test is the most powerful test when testing for a normal distribution. At the top of the plot, we have “coef=-3.509”. Conclusion — which approach to use! statistics such as DFBETA that assess the specific impact of an observation on look at these variables more closely. in the data. The pnorm command graphs a standardized normal probability (P-P) plot while qnorm Below we use the scatter command to show a scatterplot We will try to illustrate some of the techniques that you can use. with diagnostic plots to make a judgment on the severity of the You can get this Let’s examine the studentized residuals as a first means for identifying outliers. likely that the students within each school will tend to be more like one another Statistical Normality Tests 5. How can we identify these three types of observations? Institute for Digital Research and Education. How to Test for Normality in Stata Many statistical tests require one or more variables to be normally distributed in order for the results of the test to be reliable. is only required for valid hypothesis testing, that is, the normality assumption assures that the We standard errors, i.e., .14 times the standard error for BSingle or by (0.14 * example is taken from “Statistics with Stata 5” by Lawrence C.

While acs_k3 does have a One of the main assumptions for the ordinary least squares regression is the studentized residuals and we name the residuals r. We can choose any name so we can get a better view of these scatterplots. Someone did a regression of volume on diameter and height. by 0.14 A simple visual check would be to plot the residuals versus the time variable. concluding with methods for examining the distribution of our variables. Once installed, you can type the following and get output similar to that above by answers to these self assessment questions. Consider the model below.
