Plain-text version
Given the assumptions of the classical linear regression model, the ordinary least square estimators possess some optimum properties -- given in the Gauss-Markov theorem. Which of the following is not a part of this theorem? 1. The slope estimator β̂₂ is a linear function of random variables 2. The expected value of β̂₂ is equal to zero 3. No linear unbiased estimator has lower variance then that of β̂₂ 4. The estimator β̂₂ is an unbiased estimator of β₂ (A) The slope estimator β̂₂ is a linear function of random variables (B) The expected value of β̂₂ is equal to zero (C) No linear unbiased estimator has lower variance then that of β̂₂ (D) The estimator β̂₂ is an unbiased estimator of β₂
Also written as: Given the assumptions of the classical linear regression model, the ordinary least square estimators possess some optimum properties -- given in the Gauss-Markov theorem. Which of the following is not a part of this theorem? 1. The slope estimator beta_hat_2 is a linear function of random variables 2. The expected value of beta_hat_2 is equal to zero 3. No linear unbiased estimator has lower variance then that of beta_hat_2 4. The estimator beta_hat_2 is an unbiased estimator of beta_2
