Violating this assumption biases the coefficient estimate. To understand why this bias occurs, keep in mind that the error term always explains some of the variability in the dependent variable. However, when an independent variable correlates with the error term, OLS incorrectly attributes some of ...
Comparison of the r-(k,d) class estimator with some estimators under the Mahalanobis loss function In the case of ill-conditioned design matrix in linear regression model, the r-(k,d) class estimator was proposed and this includes, among others, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator, ...
The COR and ML estimators are generally best for prediction in the presence of multicollinearity and autocorrelated error terms. However, at low levels of autocorrelation, the OLS estimator is either best or competes consistently with the best estimator, while the PC estimator is either best or ...
The following post will give a short introduction about the underlying assumptions of the classical linear regression model (OLS assumptions), which we derived in the following post. Given the Gauss-Markov Theorem we know that the least squares estimator and are unbiased and have minimum variance ...
vector of regression coefficients; is the zero-mean error term. Sample There are observations in the sample: The OLS estimator The ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator of can be written as Asymptotic covariance matrix Underappropriate conditions,the OLS estimator is asymptotically normal: ...
Show that under the Gauss Markov assumptions the OLS estimator hat(β)OLSis a consistent estimator. Use the following steps: Write hat(β)OLSin terms of true parameter valueβand a function ofxi,εloni Show that the denominator of this ...
So, if you regress the probability of contracting infection on the time spent outside home, the estimator for the time spent outside home absorbs the effect of daily income and you get an overly optimistic estimate of the effect of time spent outside home. This is to say, the effect of...
When the ignorable treatment assignment assumption is violated and the correlation between W and e is not equal to 0, the OLS estimator of treatment effect t is biased and inconsistent. More formally, under this condition, there are three problems associated with the OLS estimator. First, when ...

In a couple of discussion threads I've noticed questions about regression with censored, nonnormal dependent variables... I was wondering what the underlying assumptions are for CR in MPlus? I saw it said in one thread that there were some shortcomings in the Tobit estimator and it is not...
