overall intercept in a multiple linear regression model with dummy variables Denominator degrees of freedom- the number of observations minus the number of estimated parameters Numerator degrees of freedom- in the F test, the number of restrictions being tested Join hypothesis test-a test involving more than one restriction on the parameters in a model F statistic- statistic used to test multiple hypotheses in a multiple linear regression model; tests joint significance Jointly insignificant Jointly statistically significant Restricted Model- the model obtained after imposing the restrictions of the null hypothesis Unrestricted Model- the model that has no restrictions placed on its parameters
