703 Sociology Advanced Single Equation Techniques ASSIGNMENT 6 Due Wednesday June 3rd by 5:00 pm Bob Kaufman Spring 2009 You have been hired as a statistical consultant to analyze data for an urban sociologist. The research project is a study of the causes of racial residential segregation. The researcher has data on 60 cities measured for each of the years 1970-1979. The researcher has four hypotheses that you are to test using an appropriate statistical method: Hypothesis 1: Hypothesis 2: Hypothesis 3: The size of a minority group increases the level of residential segregation. The existence of a desegregated school system decreases the level of residential segregation. The smaller the gap between minority-majority incomes (the higher the ratio of African-American to White Incomes), the lower the level of residential segregation. The larger the city, the higher the level of residential segregation. Hypothesis 4: Based on past analyses of similar data, the researcher is convinced that there is no heteroskedasticity present in the data and insists that you do not attempt to test for its existence or to utilize models specifying heteroskedasticity. You are to supply the researcher with a short report describing the analyses you have performed. In your report you should describe all of the steps of the analysis you have performed, including: A. Any statistical problems you suspected. Discuss how you determined whether or not the problem(s) existed (including documentation in the form of appropriate diagnostics, tables or test statistics) and what procedures you used to correct for these problems. B. In conducting your analyses, if you had to choose between alternative estimation methods or between alternative sets of results, discuss and how why you decided which method/set of results to use. C. A table of final results, including all of the standard numbers and statistics, and a written interpretation of the meaning of these results. The researcher has provided you with the codebook below and some descriptive statistics to ensure that you have properly read the data using your statistical software. These data are in the file s:\fac\rlk\703\poolasg.dat in the SRL & s:\703 Kaufman\poolasg.dat in the SIL or can be downloaded from the class website. Codebook Variable Case ID Year Residential Segregation Columns 1-4 5-10 11-18 Description Identification number for city, coded 1 to 60 Year for which data are measured, coded 1970 to 1979 Index of dissimilarity measuring the difference in the residential distribution of blacks and whites. Theoretically can range from 0 to 100. Value indicates the percentage of African-Americans (or Whites) that would have to change residence in order to achieve an even distribution. Percent of the city population that is African-Americ...
