Q3). Explain the term BLUE in ordinary least square (OLS) analysis.

Expert Solution

BLUE in ordinary least square (ols) analysis stands for the Best linear unbiased estimator. It's also known as the gauss-markov theorem.

The "Best" refers to the minimum variance of the estimator it's refers that the OLS estimator has the minimum variance among all class of other linear unbiased estimators of the unknown population parameter. Best refers to the efficiency of the OLS estimator.

Linear refers to the linear in parameters, the OLS estimator is the linear function of the dependent variable which are linearly combined using weights that are a non-linear function of the values of X (the regressors or explanatory variables).

Unbiasedness property of OLS estimator states that the average value of all coefficients ( alpha & beta) from the different samples estimated using OLS estimator will be equal to the actual value of population parameter. Estimator is the method or formula whereas estimates is the value of coefficient dervied ith the help of estimator.

State the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation criterion. State the OLS normal equations. Derive the OLS normal equations from the OLS estimation criterion. Perform a test of the null hypothesis H0:β2 = 0 against the alternative hypothesis H1:β2 ≠ 0 at the 1% significance level ( i.e. for significance level α = 0.01 ). Show how you calculated the test statistic. State the decision rule you use, and the inference you would draw from the test. Briefly explain what...

. Under the Gauss-Markov assumptions, we know that the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimator βˆ is unbiased, efficient, and consistent. However, if the assumption that E[ϵ 2 i |X] = σ 2 i = σ 2 is violated while the assumption of E[ϵi , ϵj ] = 0 , ∀i ̸= j holds, that the least squares estimator is unbiased but is no longer efficient. The Generalized Least Squares (GLS) estimator, in this case, may be unbiased, consistent, and efficient...
