IV. Model Assumptions

• The error term is a normally distributed random variable and thus,

• The variance of ? is constant for all values of x1, x2,…,xp.

• All ? are independent, not influenced by any other error term. Thus the size of ? is also constant.

These assumptions are modified from chapter 14 to accommodate the inclusion of multiple independent variables.
