In the Present Book Chapter-I is an introductory one.Chapter-II describes the concept and causal relations by econometric models. It presents the different representations such as autoregressive, Moving - average and univariate representation of causality. Chapter-III explore lucidly the various tests for causality, we come across in econometrics. In regression analysis, researchers are interested in testing for the exogenity of variables this testing is closely related to the causality test proposed by Granger, which is explained in detail in this chapter. Chapter-IV gives the conclusions...

India was the first country to start a systematic development of long range forecasting techniques for estimating in advance the seasonal monsoon rainfall over the country. For forecasting rainfall on the basis of past values, a variety of time series models are available these are referred as Box-Jenkins methodology Box and Jenkins.Chief objectives of this book is many folds as listed as to compare and predict the nature of rainfall in three taluks of Khammam district using various statistical methods; Critically comparing the behavior of rainfall in Sathupally, Vemsoor and Aswaraopet taluks...

In this Present book Chapter - I is an introductory one. It contains general introduction about the selection of regressors for the linear models. Chapter - II deals with the model selection measures using R square and statistics. It explains properties of these statistics and the relationships between them. Chapter - III describes the criteria for model selection proposed by Mallows (1973) and Amemiya (1990). The generalized mean squared error criterion is also explained in this chapter. Chapter - IV presents different measures for selecting regressors. It deals with step wise regression...

In the present book Chapter-I is an introductory one. It states the main aims of the study and source of data about different variables . Chapter-II gives a survey of the literature about all the existing alternative methods of estimation of CES production function. It clearly shows how considerable research has been reported on the estimation of CES function. Chapter-III proposes an alternative method of estimation of CES production function using Kmenta's (1967) approach to the production function. Chapter-IV deals with the empirical investigation of the present study. It includes the...

In the Present Book Chapter-I is an introductory one. It contains the general introduction about the methods of Diagnostic Tests in statistical modeling besides the objectives and organization of the present study. It also brings out the chapter scheme. Chapter-II describes the various selection criteria for statistical model building. Under the criteria of model selection among a large number of potentially important regressors, only a subset of explanatory variables may be finally chosen. Chapter-III proposes how to specify the Nested and Non-Nested models in statistics. It also gives the...
