Urgent Response Needed: Can Partial Means Predict a Regression Line?

AI Thread Summary
Partial means can indeed be used as predictors when fitting a regression line or curve, particularly in econometrics, where they represent weighted averages of derivatives of regression functions. The term "partial mean" refers to the mean of a subset of data, although it may not be widely recognized outside specific contexts. It's important to approach forum discussions with patience and clarity, as urgent requests may deter potential helpers. Engaging early with questions allows for better clarification and support from the community. Overall, understanding the application of partial means in regression analysis can enhance predictive modeling.

Can we use partial means as a predictor for the response while fitting a regression line or curve?.

Hey bhartish and welcome to the forums.

What is a partial mean? Is this just a mean of a subset of your actual data? I've never come across this term before.

It's used in econometrics and involves the weighted averages of derivatives of regression functions. They're defined in section 2.2 of the link.

The answer to the OPs question seems to be yes, where it's appropriate.

BTW, "urgent" and "needed" along with "ASAP" are bound to get your posts ignored. There are plenty of smart folks here that will help you, but they'll be turned off if you wait until the last minute and then demand help. If you are in need, post your questions early so members can help you, and you can get clarification along the way. Just a suggestion.

Yes. Ditto for exclamation marks !
 

Thread 'Deductive proof in logic formal systems'

I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
