| Title: | DUMMY VARIABLES AND THE STATISTICAL EFFICIENCY OF THE ESTIMATORS |
| Authors: | Soliman, M.A. |
| Issue Date: | 1969 |
| Series/Report no.: | Staff Paper P69-8 |
| Abstract: | This paper is concerned with investigating the efficiency of estimators using dummy variables relative to the efficiency of the estimators obtained from "separate" functions. First the advantages of using dummy variables are discussed. Second, the proof of the efficiency criteria of estimators obtained using the dummy variables is developed. Third, the consequences of using dummy variables when the variance by season is different are discussed. Finally, a simple case is shown. |
