Least squares regression results for most likely thresholds (T) of age-at-arrival effects on not obtaining a high school diploma, by origin region according to linguistic distance from English, men


Table summary
This table displays the results of least squares regression results for most likely thresholds (t) of age-at-arrival effects on not obtaining a high school diploma turning point with maximum r-squared (t), age at arrival, threshold (t), t × age at arrival, r-squared and p value for f-test of all regressors equal to zero, calculated using years, coefficient, r-squared and p value units of measure (appearing as column headers).

Note(s):
Derivation by author from Statistics Canada, 2006 Census using analytical files described in the text. T refers to the threshold used in the estimation of a piece-wise linear least squares model. Results presented are those for models with highest R-squared among all possible thresholds from 5 to 12 years. Sample size for each line is 18 observations on weighted average attainment by age at arrival from 0 to 17. All models include a constant term and a control for the proportion of each age group not having English or French as a mother tongue. All regressions use analytical weights. Standard errors are robust to hetroscedasticity. P value for the F test refers to the null hypothesis that all regressors except the constant equal 0.
