Properties of OLS estimators Population regression line: E(y|x)=1+2x‚ Observation = systematic component + random error: yi = 1 +2 x + ui Sample regression line estimated using OLS estimators: = b1 + b2 x Observation = estimated relationship + residual: yi =+ ei => yi = b1 + b2 x + ei Assumptions underlying model: 1. Linear Model ui = yi - 1- 2xi 2. Error terms have mean = 0 E(ui|x)=0 => E(y|x) = 1 + 2xi 3. Error terms have constant variance (independent of x) Var(ui|x)
