Study Notes
Simple Regression
- Simple regression is used when there is only one explanatory variable.
- This type of regression is used to model the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x).
Purpose of Linear Regression
- The purpose of linear regression is to create a linear equation that best predicts the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variable(s).
Model Parameters
- In linear regression, the model parameters (β0 and β1) are estimated from the data.
Linear Regression Function
- A linear function is used to model the relationships in linear regression, which takes the form of y = β0 + β1x + ε.
Conditional Mean Assumption
- In linear regression, it is assumed that the conditional mean of the dependent variable is a linear function of the independent variable(s).
