medium · FRM Part 1 Quantitative Analysis

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?

  1. Whether the intercept term estimated in the restricted regression model is equal to zero.
  2. Whether the two nested models produce statistically equal residual variances across observations.
  3. Whether the correlation observed between the two models' error terms is jointly and statistically significant.
  4. Whether the additional variables in the unrestricted model jointly add significant explanatory power.
