  • Box-Tidwell Test for Linearity of Logit Regression and Remedies

    Dear all,

    I am using a Logit Regression to see if companies did recover to their pre-crisis ROA levels (yes if recovery within certain window, no if not). To check the assumptions of linearity i used a Box-Tidwell Test which showed me by its p-values that the ROA_2007Q3 as well as the crisis_drop_size the companies saw in their ROA are non-linear below a 5% level. I relied on this homepage https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stata/we...n-diagnostics/ to interpret my findings and in line with their example i used the squareroot of the drop_size and obtained even worse results. How do i need to change my variable definitions of ROA_2007Q3 and drop_3_qbq (the drop size) to make them linear with the DV?

    With this code i get the below output (ROA and drop are right now represented as % or %points):
