Definition(s)

  • Consider a linear relationship in which there is a stochastic dependent variable with values yi that are a function of the values of one or more nonstochastic independent variables, x1i, x2i…xki. We could write such a relationship as yi = β0 + β1x1i +···+ βkxki + εi. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Social Science Research Methods; ORDINARY LEAST SQUARES]
