The OLS estimator continued
As we discussed yesterday, the OLS estimator is a means of obtaining good estimates of 1 and 2, for the relationship Y = 1 + 2X1 +
Let us now move towards drawing inferences about the true 1 and 2, given our estimates ^1 and ^2. This requires making some valid assumptions about Xi and . These assumptions also evoke certain useful statistical properties of OLS, as constrasted with the purely numerical properties which we saw yesterday.

Assumptions of OLS regression
Assumption 1: The regression model is linear in the parameters. Y = 1 + 2Xi + ui . This does not mean that Y and X are linear, but rather that 1 and 2 are linear.

Assumptions of OLS regression
Assumption 1: The regression model is linear in the parameters. Y = 1 + 2Xi + ui . This does not mean that Y and X are linear, but rather that 1 and 2 are linear.
Assumption 2: X values are fixed in repeated sampling.

Assumptions of OLS regression
Assumption 1: The regression model is linear in the parameters. Y = 1 + 2Xi + ui . This does not mean that Y and X are linear, but rather that 1 and 2 are linear.
Assumption 2: X values are fixed in repeated sampling. Assumption 3: The expectation of the disturbance ui is zero.
Thus, the distribution of ui given a value of Xi (in the population) is symmetric around its mean. (Show figure).

Assumption 4: The variance of ui is the same for all observations, i.e. in the above distribution, the distribution of ui given each value of Xi has the same variance. This is an important property called homoskedasticity.

Assumption 4: The variance of ui is the same for all observations, i.e. in the above distribution, the distribution of ui given each value of Xi has the same variance. This is an important property called homoskedasticity.
Assumption 5: There is no correlation between the ui (disturbances) of different observations. This is called auto-correlation or serial-correlation. It is seen more in time series analysis than cross-sectional analysis.
