Does it matter if the intercept is statistically significant?
The importance of a statistically significant intercept in regression analysis has sparked an ongoing debate in the academic and scientific communities. Whether the intercept is significant or not has been subject to much scrutiny, and we need to take a closer look at its significance, consequences, and the theoretical explanations that guide its calculation. In this article, we will dive into the core issues, discuss key principles, and summarize significant outcomes to demystify this long-debated issue.
A Good Problem to Have?
For some statisticians and economists, it might be desirable for the intercept to have statistical significance (P-values, say <0.05) due to reasons stated below:
-
Theories can always help. With parametric theories backing strong connections, null Hypotheses get falsifiable and this p=probability-based judgment system; rejection null-hypotheses leads the significance-based judgement with statistically significant effect and an estimation process!
