2
According to the Gauss-Markov Theorem, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimators are BLUE. What does BLUE stand for?
3
What is the consequence if the assumption of homoscedasticity is violated in linear regression (i.e., heteroscedasticity is present)?
4
What does a high Variance Inflation Factor (VIF > 10) indicate about a feature in linear regression?
5
What does R-squared (Coefficient of Determination) measure in a linear regression model?
6
Why can Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) yield inverted signs or wild fluctuations in coefficients when multicollinearity exists?
7
How is a residual e_i defined for observation i in linear regression?
8
In a residual plot (residuals vs fitted values), what pattern indicates that the linear model specification is appropriate?
9
What is Cook's Distance used for in regression diagnostics?
10
Why is Mean Squared Error (MSE) universally preferred as the objective loss function for OLS over Mean Absolute Error (MAE)?
