Ordinary Least Squares Under Standard Assumptions
Suppose that a scalar is related to a vector, and a disturbance term according to the regression model. In this article, we will study the estimation and hypothesis testing of when is deterministic and is i.i.d. Gaussian. 1. The Algebra of Linear Regression Given a sample of T values of and the vector , the…
