What are the sources of error in regression model?

Random error, measurement error, mis-specification of model (overspecification or underspecification), non-normality, plus many more.


What is the role of the stochastic error term in regression analysis?

Regression analysis is based on the assumption that the dependent variable is distributed according some function of the independent variables together with independent identically distributed random errors. If the error terms were not stochastic then some of the properties of the regression analysis are not valid.


The regression equation is determined by minimizing?

The total squared error between the predicted y values and the actual y values


Can the random error be predicted in the regression model?

In a regression model, random error, often referred to as the residual or disturbance term, cannot be precisely predicted because it encompasses the inherent variability in the data that is not explained by the model. This randomness arises from factors such as measurement error, omitted variables, and natural fluctuations. While its distribution can often be described (e.g., normally distributed with a mean of zero), individual instances of random error remain unpredictable. Thus, while we can estimate the overall pattern of errors, we cannot forecast specific random errors for individual observations.

What is population regression function?

The population regression function (PRF) represents the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables in the entire population. It is typically expressed as an equation, where the dependent variable is modeled as a linear combination of the independent variables plus a random error term. The PRF aims to capture the true underlying relationship in the population, as opposed to sample estimates, which may vary due to sampling error. In practice, the PRF is often estimated using sample data through techniques like ordinary least squares regression.


What is regression coefficient and correlation coefficient?

The strength of the linear relationship between the two variables in the regression equation is the correlation coefficient, r, and is always a value between -1 and 1, inclusive. The regression coefficient is the slope of the line of the regression equation.
