Linear regression is widely used in biomedical and psychosocial research. A critical assumption that is often overlooked is homoscedasticity. Unlike normality, the other assumption on data distribution, homoscedasticity is often taken for granted when fitting linear regression models. However, contrary to popular belief, this assumption actually has a bigger impact on validity of linear regression results than normality. In this report, we use Monte Carlo simulation studies to investigate and compare their effects on validity of inference.

The application of goodness-of-fit (GoF) tests in linear regression modeling is a common practice in applied statistical sciences. For instance, in simple linear regression the assumption of normality of residuals is always necessary to test before making any further inferences. The growing popularity of the use of powerful and efficient empirical likelihood ratio (ELR) based GoF tests in checking for departures from normality in various continuous distributions can be of great use in checking for distributional assumptions of residuals in linear models. Motivated by the attractive properties of the ELR based GoF tests the researchers conducted an extensive Type I error rate assessment as well as a Monte Carlo power comparison of selected ELR GoF tests with well-known existing tests against symmetric and asymmetric alternative OLS and BLUS residuals. Under the simulated scenarios, all the studied tests have good control of Type I error rates. The Monte Carlo experiments revealed the superiority of the ELR GoF tests under certain alternatives of both the OLS and BLUS residuals. Our findings also demonstrated the superiority of OLS over BLUS residuals when one is testing for normality in simple linear regression models. A real data study further revealed the applicability of the ELR based GoF tests in testing normality of residuals in linear regression models.

Offering credit is the main activity of a Bank. There are some considerations when a bank offers credit, that includes Interest Rates, Inflation, and NPL. This study aims to find out the impact of Variable Interest Rates, Inflation variables and NPL variables on credit disbursed. The object in this study is state-owned banks. The method of analysis in this study uses multiple linear regression models. The results of the study have shown that Interest Rates and NPL gave some negative impacts on the given credit. Meanwhile, Inflation variable does not have a significant effect on credit given. Keywords: Interest Rate, Inflation, NPL, offered Credit.

The main objective of this study is to examine a hypothesis that the predictive content of normal income disaggregated into operating income and nonoperating income outperforms that of aggregated normal income in predicting future cash flow. To test the hypothesis, linear regression models are developed. The model parameters are estimated based on fifty-five manufacturing firms listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) up to the end of 1997.This study finds that empirical evidence supports the hypothesis. This evidence supports arguments that, in reporting income from continuing operations, multiple-step approach is preferred to single-step one.
