Questions and Answers

In error minimization, what does the term 'sum of squares' refer to?

  • The sum of the individual distances of the predicted values from the actual data points.
  • The total distance as the sum of squares of the differences of the values predicted by the linear model and the actual data. (correct)
  • The square root of the sum of the squared errors.
  • The sum of the squares of the parameter estimates.

What is the aim of error minimization with adjustment?

  • Balancing the predictive errors.
  • Maximizing the predictive errors.
  • Minimizing the predictive errors. (correct)
  • Ignoring the predictive errors.

What is the role of the value 𝛽0 in the error minimization method?

  • Maximizing the fit of the model to the population.
  • Finding the value that leads to predictions of Y that minimize the distance between all the data points and the predicted value. (correct)
  • Minimizing the sum of squares of the errors.
  • Determining the number of parameters in the model.
