Question:

Given the assumptions of the classical linear regression model, the ordinary least square estimators possess some optimum properties-given in the Gauss-Markov theorem. Which of the following is not a part of this theorem?

Updated On: Mar 12, 2024
  • The slope estimator \(\hat{\beta}_2\) is a linear function of random variables
  • The expected value of \(\hat{\beta}_2\) is equal to zero
  • No linear unbiased estimator has lower variance than that of \(\hat{\beta}_2\)
  • The estimator \(\hat{\beta}_2\) is an unbiased estimator of \(\hat{\beta}_2\)
