Question

By Day 3, Estimate a multiple regression model that answers your research question. Post your response to the following:

What is your research question?

Interpret the coefficients for the model, specifically commenting on the dummy variable.

Does the model meet all of the assumptions?

Be sure and comment on what assumptions were not met and the possible implications.

Is there any possible remedy for one the assumption violations?

Explanation / Answer

The research question is: whether lived poverty index depends on Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa. Here we observed that Adjusted R square is 0.048 and is very small, hence fitting regression model is not appropriate. From regression analysis (ANOVA table) we have seen that overall regression is significant. that is whether lived poverty index depends on Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa From table of coefficients, we observed that p- values are less than 0.05. hence the all three regressors are affects on lived poverty index.
