Abstract:
In Markov regression models with time series data, we apply asymptomatic results to obtain the quasi-score, quasi-Wald, and quasi-likelihood ratio tests for assessing model adequacy. Based on limited simulation studies, we show that these three test statistics, particularly the quasi-score test, perform reasonably well in small samples. In addition, we apply these tests to the mean-shift outlier model to examine outliers. The usefulness of these tests is demonstrated via the analysis of three practical examples.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
