    Hmmm. The energy required to do the walk is an incorrect analogy. A wide low plateau has the same area (integral) as a low wide plateau, but the wide low plateau would be easier to walk across. Admittedly, this was only an analogy, and the integrals at 5:28 are the rigorous versions of the statement.

    If the value of F-statistics is larger, there is a higher probability of rejecting the null hypothesis. That means there is a higher possibility of a significant correlation between Y (result e.g. Sales) and X (variable on which dependency is being studied e.g Advertisement on TV)

    Good video. Another source of endogeneity due to omitted variables is parent's iQ. If iQ affects (not deterministically) how much education someone obtains and affects wages, but is omitted from the regression, then it is included in the error and we have OVB. Parent's iQ may affect their chosen education level. Parent's iQ is transmitted to children because of genetics. So therefore, if iQ is initially omitted and causes endogeneity, using parent's education level (also affected by iQ) is an endogenous instrument because it is still omitted if it is related to child's iQ (through genetics).

  • @lonemaven

    So with the Dickey-Fuller test, we are basically testing for the stationarity of the series ONLY in terms of the variance, right? Because if there is a constant term (i.e., alpha =/= 0), then regardless if rho is equal to 1 (as in the null hypothesis) or less than 1, the series is still non-stationary in general because, with a constant term, the series will have a trend and the expected value of the series is not constant at zero. Is this correct?
