Abstract
We consider hypothesis tests for the multiple linear regression model with ordinary least squares if the predictor variables have been scaled to have unit sample variance. Some tests are unchanged, but confidence intervals, confidence regions, and some tests are no longer valid. Similar results are obtained for a robust regression estimator.
