10 Questions
What is the primary purpose of the assumptions made for the regression model?
To derive the stochastic properties of the OLS estimator
Which of the following assumptions is not required for the OLS estimator to be valid?
There is no multicollinearity between the explanatory variables
Which of the following is a key property of the OLS estimator?
All of the above
What is the purpose of testing hypotheses regarding the population regression function using the OLS estimates?
To assess the statistical significance of the regression coefficients
What is the key difference between the simple linear regression model and the multiple linear regression model?
The simple model has only one regressor, while the multiple model has multiple regressors
Which of the following assumptions is not required for the OLS estimator to be unbiased?
The error terms $u_i$ have constant variance
What is the main advantage of the multiple linear regression model over the simple linear regression model?
The multiple model can estimate the effects of multiple explanatory variables simultaneously
Which of the following is NOT a property of the OLS estimator?
Normality
How do experiments help with the assumptions of the regression model?
Experiments provide a random sample from the population
What is the main interpretation of the regression coefficient $\beta_1$ in the simple linear regression model $y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i + u_i$?
It represents the average change in $y_i$ for a one-unit increase in $x_i$, holding all other factors constant
