(3) For i =

are the sample mean and sample standard deviation for y over these i observations, and
are the sample mean and sample standard deviation for tj. j = 1.2. . k. Now we regress y* on 1 and xj, j = 1,2, , k, to yield the estimated model as
where
, j = O, 1. . ., k, are the associated OLS estimates.
