hettest

Breusch-Pagan / Cook-Weisberg test for heteroskedasticity

Ho: Constant variance

Variables: fitted values of wage

chi2(1) = 139.71

Prob > chi2 = 0.0000

ovtest

Ramsey RESET test using powers of the fitted values of wage

Ho: model has no omitted variables

F(3, 517) = 10.17

Prob > F = 0.0000

Tasks:

1. Checking model fit


2. Checking the significance of individual variables (using t-test)
3. Check Multicollinearity
4. Check Heteroscedasticity
5. Check Omission of important variables
6. 7. Interpret the significant variables after solving problems (heto, multi and omission) if any
