Ordinary least squares, or linear least squares, estimates the parameters in a regression model by minimizing the sum of the squared residuals.

If the pattern doesn't looks like a Straight Line, then we need to apply

• A Non Linear Regression or
• Exponential Transformation or
• Log Transformation.

• Technically, Endogeneity occurs when a predictor variable (x) in a regression model is correlated with the error term (e) in the model.
• This usually occurs due to the Omitted Variable Bias (when we forget to include a releva...

• We need to consider that our Error Term is normally distributed.
• We only need Normal Distribution while making Statistical Inferences.
• T-tests and F-tests work because we have assumed normality.
• If Error Term isn't normally distribute...

• If the Mean of the Error Terms is not expected to be zero then the line is not the Best fitting one.
• Having an Intercept Solves the problem. 

• Homoscedasticity means to have “Equal Variance”. The error terms should have equal variance with one another.
• When the error terms don’t have “Equal Variance”, then Heteroscedasticity happens.

OLS Assumptions are the Conditions that we need to consider them before performing Regression Analysis.

Some OLS Assumptions are:  

1. Linearity
2. No Endogeneity
3. Normality
4. Zero Mean of Error Terms
5. Homoscedasticity

• Autocorrelation is a mathematical representation of the degree of similarity between a given time series and a lagged version of itself over successive time intervals.
• It is similar to the Correlation between two different Time Series but Autocorrela...

• A Linear Regression is Linear because the Equation is Linear.
• To verify the Linearity between Independent and Dependent Variable apply Scatter plot.
• If the Data points form a pattern that looks like a Straight Line then Linear Regression is Suitable.

To fix Multicollinearity: 

• If the Dataset is small, we can drop one independent variable. Or we can Transform them into One Variable (Eg. Average of two Variables)
• If the Dataset is large, we will use Ridge and Lasso Regression.

• We observe Multicollinearity when two or more Independent Variables in a model are “Highly Correlated”.
• Correlation could be Positive (or) Negative.
• This will lead result in less reliable predictions.
• Multicollineari...
