Thank you. Your answers makes it clear. You are right that I am carrying out
an overid test. Tough I don't know why you call it 'an artificial regression
procedure'. Yes, I do not follow a direct command to carry out the test. I
am a TA and I am writing a solution to an IV exercise. My idea was to
indicate the logic of the test by showing all the steps taken in an overid
test. That is why I am following the steps.
