Clarifications and Corrections for Textbook
(Rawlings, Pantula, and Dickey, Second Edition,
Corrected second printing, 2001)
- page 21, equation (1.40):
- the beta (β1) should have a hat, since it is the
least squares estimate that satisfies the normal equation, not the actual
parameter value
- page 90, equation (3.51):
- the beta (β) should not have a hat
- page 119, section 4.5.1:
- linear independence implies that K (not K')
is of full (column) rank
- page 168, section 5.3, paragraph 1:
- the four variables that are candidates for being dropped (based on
their individual t-tests) are SALINITY, Na, K,
and Zn (but not pH)
- page 218, section 7.4:
- all of the R-notation expressions should also have beta with a
subscript of zero (β0) after the bar (|), that is,
all of those sums of squares should include adjustment for the intercept
- page 298, section 9.7:
- beta with a superscript of zero
(β0) represents any (non-unique)
least squares solution based on some generalized inverse; see (9.20).
- page 364, section 11.2.3, expression 11.19:
- si should be s(i);
the expression in the table of section 11.2.5 needs a similar change
- page 373, section 11.3.2, expression 11.26:
- s² should be "Var"
- page 417, section 12.5.1, expression 12.28:
- right side of equation is missing a factor of sigma-squared
(σ²)
- page 432, section 12.7, problem 12.26(c):
- the beta with only a subscript of zero (β0)
should not have a hat
