Linear Regression - important requirement I of beta: it should be unbiased, we need assumptions for this
5 important questions on Linear Regression - important requirement I of beta: it should be unbiased, we need assumptions for this
0.a 1st assumption: specification is correct.
1. 2nd assumption:epsilons on average or equal to zero
4. Final one, we use it here but later on we relax it, we assume that the x-variables are not stochastic.
so regarding
y=xB+e
we truly know these
x not a variable, doesn't have covariance, so covariance between c and e is also 0. &we need this later on.
so these two, epsilons are zero on average and that x is non-stochastic, enough to show you that indeed my beta estimator is unbiased.
- Higher grades + faster learning

0b:incorporated in 0a;
If x is a random variable, a term in true beta proof can be interpreted as a covariance between xi and ei.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
