olkin_beta1_2: olkin_beta1_2 function

Description

This function derives Information matrix for beta1^2 and beta2^2 where beta1 and 2 are regression coefficients from a multiple regression model, i.e. y = x1 * beta1 + x2 * beta2 + e, where y, x1 and x2 are column-standardised, (i.e. in the context of correlation coefficients,see Olkin and Finn 1995).

Usage

olkin_beta1_2(omat, nv)

Value

This function will give information (variance-covariance) matrix of beta1^2 and beta2^2.To get information (variance-covariance) matrix of beta1^2 and beta2^2. Where beta1 and beta2 are regression coefficients from a multiple regression model. The outputs are listed as follows.

info

2x2 information (variance-covariance) matrix

var1

Variance of beta1_2

var2

Variance of beta2_2

var1_2

Variance of difference between beta1_2 and beta2_2

Arguments

omat

3 by 3 matrix having the correlation coefficients between y, x1 and x2, i.e. omat=cor(dat) where dat is N by 3 matrix having variables in the order of cbind (y,x1,x2)

nv

Sample size
