medium · FRM Part 1
A financial analyst is using an F-test to compare the model fits of two nested regressions. Regression 1 (the restricted model) has R^2 = 0.45 and Regression 2 (the unrestricted model) has R^2 = 0.50.
What does the F-test fundamentally evaluate in this scenario?
- Whether the intercept in the unrestricted model is zero.
- Whether the two models have equal residual variances.
- Whether the correlation between the error terms is significant.
- Whether the additional variables in the unrestricted model jointly add significant explanatory power.
