Показать описание
We define and discuss the seven assumptions of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM) using simple notation and intuition.
The Seven Assumptions:
I.The regression model is linear, is correctly specified, and has an additive error term
II. The error term has a zero population mean
III. All explanatory variables are uncorrelated with the error term
IV. Observations of the error term are uncorrelated with each other (no serial correlation)
V. The error term has a constant variance (no heteroskedasticity)
VI. No explanatory variable is a perfect linear function of any other explanatory variable(s) (no perfect multicollinearity)
VII. The error term is normally distributed (this assumption is optional but usually is invoked)

Great video! Thanks a lot! I have two questions, the error term includes all variables that influence X? and if the larger the variance of X, the more precisely can Beta1 be estimated? I believe that the second case is true, but still not so sure.

You miss to include the assumption that your independent variable is error free. This is one assumption that is seldom tackled, introducing large bias.

Why call it a random sample for a person?
