Wie berechne ich die Varianz des OLS-Schätzers

Ich weiß, dass

\hat{β_{0}} = \bar{y} - \hat{β_{1}} \bar{x}

$\hat{\beta_0}=\bar{y}-\hat{\beta_1}\bar{x}$ und so weit bin ich gekommen, als ich die Varianz berechnet habe:

\begin{aligned} V a r (\hat{β_{0}}) & = V a r (\bar{y} - \hat{β_{1}} \bar{x}) \\ = V a r ((- \bar{x}) \hat{β_{1}} + \bar{y}) \\ = V a r ((- \bar{x}) \hat{β_{1}}) + V a r (\bar{y}) \\ = (- \bar{x})^{2} V a r (\hat{β_{1}}) + 0 \\ = (\bar{x})^{2} V a r (\hat{β_{1}}) + 0 \\ = \frac{σ^{2} (\bar{x})^{2}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} \end{aligned}

$\begin{align*} Var(\hat{\beta_0}) &= Var(\bar{y} - \hat{\beta_1}\bar{x}) \\ &= Var((-\bar{x})\hat{\beta_1}+\bar{y}) \\ &= Var((-\bar{x})\hat{\beta_1})+Var(\bar{y}) \\ &= (-\bar{x})^2 Var(\hat{\beta_1}) + 0 \\ &= (\bar{x})^2 Var(\hat{\beta_1}) + 0 \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x})^2}{\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2} \end{align*}$

aber so weit bin ich gekommen. Die letzte Formel, die ich zu berechnen versuche, ist

\begin{aligned} V a r (\hat{β_{0}}) & = \frac{σ^{2} n^{- 1} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} \end{aligned}

$\begin{align*} Var(\hat{\beta_0}) &= \frac{\sigma^2 n^{-1}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i^2}{\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2} \end{align*}$

Ich bin nicht sicher, wie ich bekomme

(\bar{x})^{2} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}

$(\bar{x})^2 = \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i^2$ gehe davon aus, dass meine Mathematik bis dahin korrekt ist.

Ist das der richtige Weg?

\begin{aligned} (\bar{x})^{2} & = {(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i})}^{2} \\ = \frac{1}{n^{2}} {(\sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i})}^{2} \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} (\bar{x})^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i\right)^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{n^2} \left(\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i\right)^2 \end{align}$

Ich bin mir sicher, dass es einfach ist, daher kann die Antwort etwas warten, wenn jemand einen Hinweis hat, der mich in die richtige Richtung treibt.

Dies ist nicht der richtige Weg. Die 4. Gleichung gilt nicht. Zum Beispiel mit

x_{1} = - 1

$x_1=−1$ ,

x_{2} = 0

$x_2=0$ , und

x_{3} = 1

$x_3=1$ , ist die linke Term Null ist , während die rechte Term

2 / 3

$2/3$ . Das Problem ergibt sich aus dem Schritt, in dem Sie die Varianz aufteilen (3. Zeile der zweiten Gleichung). Siehst du warum?

$\begin{align} {\rm Var}(\hat{\beta}_0) &= {\rm Var} (\bar{Y} - \hat{\beta}_1 \bar{x}) \\ &= {\rm Var} (\bar{Y}) + (\bar{x})^2 {\rm Var} (\hat{\beta}_1) - 2 \bar{x} {\rm Cov} (\bar{Y}, \hat{\beta}_1). \end{align}$ The two variance terms are

V a r (\bar{Y}) = V a r (\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}) = \frac{1}{n^{2}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} V a r (Y_{i}) = \frac{σ^{2}}{n},

${\rm Var} (\bar{Y}) = {\rm Var} \left(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i \right) = \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm Var} (Y_i) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n},$ and

\begin{aligned} V a r ({\hat{β}}_{1}) & = \frac{1}{{[\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}]}^{2}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2} V a r (Y_{i}) \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}}, \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} C o v (\bar{Y}, {\hat{β}}_{1}) & = C o v {\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}, \frac{\sum_{j = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) Y_{j}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}}} \\ = \frac{1}{n} \frac{1}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} C o v {\sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}, \sum_{j = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) Y_{j}} \\ = \frac{1}{n \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) \sum_{j = 1}^{n} C o v (Y_{i}, Y_{j}) \\ = \frac{1}{n \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) σ^{2} \\ = 0 \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} {\rm Cov} (\bar{Y}, \hat{\beta}_1) &= {\rm Cov} \left\{ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i, \frac{ \sum_{j = 1}^n(x_j - \bar{x})Y_j }{ \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } \right \} \\ &= \frac{1}{n} \frac{ 1 }{ \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } {\rm Cov} \left\{ \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i, \sum_{j = 1}^n(x_j - \bar{x})Y_j \right\} \\ &= \frac{ 1 }{ n \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } \sum_{i = 1}^n (x_j - \bar{x}) \sum_{j = 1}^n {\rm Cov}(Y_i, Y_j) \\ &= \frac{ 1 }{ n \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } \sum_{i = 1}^n (x_j - \bar{x}) \sigma^2 \\ &= 0 \end{align}$ since

\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) = 0

$\sum_{i = 1}^n (x_j - \bar{x})=0$ .
And since

\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2} = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2} - 2 \bar{x} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i} + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} {\bar{x}}^{2} = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2} - n {\bar{x}}^{2},

$\sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 = \sum_{i = 1}^n x_i^2 - 2 \bar{x} \sum_{i = 1}^n x_i + \sum_{i = 1}^n \bar{x}^2 = \sum_{i = 1}^n x_i^2 - n \bar{x}^2,$ we have

\begin{aligned} V a r ({\hat{β}}_{0}) & = \frac{σ^{2}}{n} + \frac{σ^{2} {\bar{x}}^{2}}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} {\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2} + n {\bar{x}}^{2}} \\ = \frac{σ^{2} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}}{n \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} . \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} {\rm Var}(\hat{\beta}_0) &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n} + \frac{ \sigma^2 \bar{x}^2}{ \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2 }{ n \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } \left\{ \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 + n \bar{x}^2 \right\} \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2 \sum_{i = 1}^n x_i^2}{ n \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 }. \end{align}$

Edit 2

Why do we have ${\rm var} ( \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i) = \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm Var} (Y_i)$ ?

The assumed model is $Y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_i + \epsilon_i$ , where the $\epsilon_i$ are independant and identically distributed random variables with ${\rm E}(\epsilon_i) = 0$ and ${\rm var}(\epsilon_i) = \sigma^2$ .

Once we have a sample, the $X_i$ are known, the only random terms are the $\epsilon_i$ . Recalling that for a random variable $Z$ and a constant $a$ , we have ${\rm var}(a+Z) = {\rm var}(Z)$ . Thus,

\begin{aligned} v a r (\sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}) & = v a r (\sum_{i = 1}^{n} β_{0} + β_{1} X_{i} + ϵ_{i}) \\ = v a r (\sum_{i = 1}^{n} ϵ_{i}) = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} \sum_{j = 1}^{n} c o v (ϵ_{i}, ϵ_{j}) \\ = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} c o v (ϵ_{i}, ϵ_{i}) = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} v a r (ϵ_{i}) \\ = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} v a r (β_{0} + β_{1} X_{i} + ϵ_{i}) = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} v a r (Y_{i}) . \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} {\rm var} \left( \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i \right) &= {\rm var} \left( \sum_{i = 1}^n \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_i + \epsilon_i \right)\\ &= {\rm var} \left( \sum_{i = 1}^n \epsilon_i \right) = \sum_{i = 1}^n \sum_{j = 1}^n {\rm cov} (\epsilon_i, \epsilon_j)\\ &= \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm cov} (\epsilon_i, \epsilon_i) = \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm var} (\epsilon_i)\\ &= \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm var} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 X_i + \epsilon_i) = \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm var} (Y_i).\\ \end{align}$ The 4th equality holds as

c o v (ϵ_{i}, ϵ_{j}) = 0

${\rm cov} (\epsilon_i, \epsilon_j) = 0$ for

i \neq j

$i \neq j$ by the independence of the

ϵ_{i}

$\epsilon_i$ .

I think I got it! The book has suggested steps, and I was able to prove each step separately (I think). It's not as satisfying as just sitting down and grinding it out from this step, since I had to prove intermediate conclusions for it to help, but I think everything looks good.

— M T

See edit for the development of the suggested approach.

— QuantIbex

The variance of the sum equals the sum of the variances in this step:

V a r (\bar{Y}) = V a r (\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}) = \frac{1}{n^{2}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} V a r (Y_{i})

${\rm Var} (\bar{Y}) = {\rm Var} \left(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i \right) = \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i = 1}^n {\rm Var} (Y_i)$ because since the

X_{i}

$X_i$ are independent, this implies that the

Y_{i}

$Y_i$ are independent as well, right?

— M T

Also, you can factor out a constant from the covariance in this step:

\frac{1}{n} \frac{1}{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2}} C o v {\sum_{i = 1}^{n} Y_{i}, \sum_{j = 1}^{n} (x_{j} - \bar{x}) Y_{j}}

$\frac{1}{n} \frac{ 1 }{ \sum_{i = 1}^n(x_i - \bar{x})^2 } {\rm Cov} \left\{ \sum_{i = 1}^n Y_i, \sum_{j = 1}^n(x_j - \bar{x})Y_j \right\}$ even though it's not in both elements because the formula for covariance is multiplicative, right?

— M T

@oort, in the numerator you have the sum of

n

$n$ terms that are identical (and equal to

σ^{2}

$\sigma^2$ ), so the numerator is

n σ^{2}

$n \sigma^2$ .

I got it! Well, with help. I found the part of the book that gives steps to work through when proving the $Var \left( \hat{\beta}_0 \right)$ formula (thankfully it doesn't actually work them out, otherwise I'd be tempted to not actually do the proof). I proved each separate step, and I think it worked.

I'm using the book's notation, which is:

S S T_{x} = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^{2},

$SST_x = \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x})^2,$ and

u_{i}

$u_i$ is the error term.

1) Show that $\hat{\beta}_1$ can be written as $\hat{\beta}_1 = \beta_1 + \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i u_i$ where $w_i = \frac{d_i}{SST_x}$ and $d_i = x_i - \bar{x}$ .

This was easy because we know that

\begin{aligned} {\hat{β}}_{1} & = β_{1} + \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x}) u_{i}}{S S T_{x}} \\ = β_{1} + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} \frac{d_{i}}{S S T_{x}} u_{i} \\ = β_{1} + \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} u_{i} \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} \hat{\beta}_1 &= \beta_1 + \frac{\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x}) u_i}{SST_x} \\ &= \beta_1 + \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \frac{d_i}{SST_x} u_i \\ &= \beta_1 + \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i u_i \end{align}$

2) Use part 1, along with $\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i = 0$ to show that $\hat{\beta_1}$ and $\bar{u}$ are uncorrelated, i.e. show that $E[(\hat{\beta_1}-\beta_1) \bar{u}] = 0$ .

\begin{aligned} E [(\hat{β_{1}} - β_{1}) \bar{u}] & = E [\bar{u} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} u_{i}] \\ = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} E [w_{i} \bar{u} u_{i}] \\ = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} E [\bar{u} u_{i}] \\ = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} E (u_{i} \sum_{j = 1}^{n} u_{j}) \\ = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} [E (u_{i} u_{1}) + \dots + E (u_{i} u_{j}) + \dots + E (u_{i} u_{n})] \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} E[(\hat{\beta_1}-\beta_1) \bar{u}] &= E[\bar{u}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i u_i] \\ &=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n E[w_i \bar{u} u_i] \\ &=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i E[\bar{u} u_i] \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i E\left(u_i\displaystyle\sum\limits_{j=1}^n u_j\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i \left[E\left(u_i u_1\right) +\cdots + E(u_i u_j) + \cdots+ E\left(u_i u_n \right)\right] \\ \end{align}$

and because the $u$ are i.i.d., $E(u_i u_j) = E(u_i) E(u_j)$ when $j \neq i$ .

When $j = i$ , $E(u_i u_j) = E(u_i^2)$ , so we have:

\begin{aligned} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} [E (u_{i}) E (u_{1}) + \dots + E (u_{i}^{2}) + \dots + E (u_{i}) E (u_{n})] \\ = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} E (u_{i}^{2}) \\ = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} [V a r (u_{i}) + E (u_{i}) E (u_{i})] \\ = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} σ^{2} \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} w_{i} \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n \cdot S S T_{x}} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x}) \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n \cdot S S T_{x}} (0) & = 0 \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i \left[E(u_i) E(u_1) +\cdots + E(u_i^2) + \cdots + E(u_i) E(u_n)\right] \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i E(u_i^2) \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i \left[Var(u_i) + E(u_i) E(u_i)\right] \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i \sigma^2 \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n \cdot SST_x}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar{x}) \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n \cdot SST_x} \left(0\right) &= 0 \end{align}$

3) Show that $\hat{\beta_0}$ can be written as $\hat{\beta_0} = \beta_0 + \bar{u} - \bar{x}(\hat{\beta_1} - \beta_1)$ . This seemed pretty easy too:

\begin{aligned} \hat{β_{0}} & = \bar{y} - \hat{β_{1}} \bar{x} \\ = (β_{0} + β_{1} \bar{x} + \bar{u}) - \hat{β_{1}} \bar{x} \\ = β_{0} + \bar{u} - \bar{x} (\hat{β_{1}} - β_{1}) . \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} \hat{\beta_0} &= \bar{y} - \hat{\beta_1} \bar{x} \\ &= (\beta_0 + \beta_1 \bar{x} + \bar{u}) - \hat{\beta_1} \bar{x} \\ &= \beta_0 + \bar{u} - \bar{x}(\hat{\beta_1} - \beta_1). \end{align}$

4) Use parts 2 and 3 to show that $Var(\hat{\beta_0}) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n} + \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x}) ^2} {SST_x}$ :

\begin{aligned} V a r (\hat{β_{0}}) & = V a r (β_{0} + \bar{u} - \bar{x} (\hat{β_{1}} - β_{1})) \\ = V a r (\bar{u}) + (- \bar{x})^{2} V a r (\hat{β_{1}} - β_{1}) \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n} + (\bar{x})^{2} V a r (\hat{β_{1}}) \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{n} + \frac{σ^{2} (\bar{x})^{2}}{S S T_{x}} . \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} Var(\hat{\beta_0}) &= Var(\beta_0 + \bar{u} - \bar{x}(\hat{\beta_1} - \beta_1)) \\ &= Var(\bar{u}) + (-\bar{x})^2 Var(\hat{\beta_1} - \beta_1) \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n} + (\bar{x})^2 Var(\hat{\beta_1}) \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n} + \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x}) ^2} {SST_x}. \end{align}$

I believe this all works because since we provided that $\bar{u}$ and $\hat{\beta_1} - \beta_1$ are uncorrelated, the covariance between them is zero, so the variance of the sum is the sum of the variance. $\beta_0$ is just a constant, so it drops out, as does $\beta_1$ later in the calculations.

5) Use algebra and the fact that $\frac{SST_x}{n} = \frac{1}{n} \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i^2 - (\bar{x})^2$ :

\begin{aligned} V a r (\hat{β_{0}}) & = \frac{σ^{2}}{n} + \frac{σ^{2} (\bar{x})^{2}}{S S T_{x}} \\ = \frac{σ^{2} S S T_{x}}{S S T_{x} n} + \frac{σ^{2} (\bar{x})^{2}}{S S T_{x}} \\ = \frac{σ^{2}}{S S T_{x}} (\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2} - (\bar{x})^{2}) + \frac{σ^{2} (\bar{x})^{2}}{S S T_{x}} \\ = \frac{σ^{2} n^{- 1} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}}{S S T_{x}} \end{aligned}

$\begin{align} Var(\hat{\beta_0}) &= \frac{\sigma^2}{n} + \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x}) ^2} {SST_x} \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2 SST_x}{SST_x n} + \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x})^2}{SST_x} \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2}{SST_x} \left( \frac{1}{n} \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i^2 - (\bar{x})^2 \right) + \frac{\sigma^2 (\bar{x})^2}{SST_x} \\ &= \frac{\sigma^2 n^{-1} \displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i^2}{SST_x} \end{align}$
