In a multiple linear regression how do we calculate
the standard error of B2 ( we have two independent variables and a
constant so we have B0 B1 and B2) how do we calculate the standard
error of the three.
Let the regression model be,
yi = B0 + B1 x1i + B2 x2i , for i = 1,2,....n
Let the data be represented in matrix form as,


The residuals e is given as,

where I is the unit matrix.
The error standard deviation is estimated as,

where p is the number of coefficients. Here p = 2.

Let
be the
diagonal elements of the standard error matrix
The standard errors of B0 B1 and B2 are estimated as
