Analyze Linear Regression Changes with Duplicated Observations
Context
You are tasked with analyzing regression and goodness-of-fit results. Consider the implications of data manipulation, the practical interpretation of statistical metrics, and the behavior of tests under specific conditions.
Questions
- If every observation in a linear regression dataset is duplicated (each row repeated once), how do the coefficient estimates and their standard errors change? Provide the mathematical derivation.
- In practical terms, what does a p-value represent, and what common misinterpretations should be avoided?
- How does a very large sample size influence a chi-square test, and what penalty or adjustment can be applied to maintain interpretable results?
