Catch No Ball

Let's see. So here's the formula:

Log odds (Y) = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + βkXk + u

And we have to bear in mind that the dependent variable need not be normally distributed but its assumed distribution is within the range of the exponential family, and also that the relationship between X and Y is not linear and that there is no multicollinearity... and what about the issue of homoscedasticity versus hetroscedasticity, when we apply logit? And do we express the coefficients later as log odds or odds/ratio???

This is typically the point at which I get ready to hurl myself out of the window.

Don't be put off by the Greek letters and long formulas lah.

Try a different approach, instead of all the individual variables, look at what the model is trying to explain, e.g. CAPM, stock market returns.

Or look at impact of data problems like multicollinearity, which will make t-stats unrealiable due to the variance inflation effect.

Or how to detect data disturbances, e.g. test for heteroscedasticity using Lagrange multiplier test.

Talk to you more online later when I'm off my offline diet.
