Question: what is the formula for computing the f statistic?
Answer: State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. Calculate the F value. The F Value is calculated using the formula F = (SSE1 – SSE2 / m) / SSE2 / n-k, where SSE = residual sum of squares, m = number of restrictions and k = number of independent variables. Find the F Statistic (the critical value for this test).
