Vector regression estimation and linear transformation
Abstract
In any regression model we usually deal with one response and one or more predictors. In real life situation we can find many separate models all with the same predictor. In this paper we are trying to combine many models with the same predictor in one model by using some basic concepts of linear algebra and in particular the linear transformation.
We discuss a linear transformation L: R3 → R2 and L: R3 → R1. Some application of the regression vector also discussed. Let X (t), Y (t) and Z (t) be random variables and as a function of t, respectively, t = 1,2,3,…, n. Let X (t) = T1t (t)β1 + ε1t, Y (t) = T2t (t)β2 + ε2t, and Z (t) = T3t (t)β3 + ε3t. We assume that εit’s are independent and normally distributed with mean zero and variance σ2, for i = 1,2,3. We define vector regression as
By LS method, the estimator of vector regression is
