Notes: Chow test for 1984 model transferability:

Ess1 = error sum of squares of Haifa set

Ess2 = error sum of squares of Tel Aviv set

Ess3 = error sum of squares of combined set

K = number of parameters in the model including the constant

Ni = number of observations in model i

H0: β1i = β2i 

H1 = else α = 0.05
