Answers to Midterm Test No. 1 1. Consider a regression model of relating Y (the dependent variable) to X (the independent variable) Yi = (0 + (1Xi+ (i where (i is the stochastic or error term. Suppose that the estimated regression equation is stated as Yi = (0 + (1Xi and ei is the residual error term. A. What is ei and define it precisely. Explain how it is related to (i. ei is the residual error term in the sample regression function and is defined as eI hat = Y
