  1. Bias and Variance of Slope and Intercept • Slope: • Intercept:

  2. Variance Formulae • Error sum of squares: • Can show that • Therefore is unbiased

  3. Variance Formulae • Another formula for • where

  4. Estimated Standard Errors (definitions) • Slope: • Intercept:

  5. Use of Regression • Care should be taken in: • selecting variables (strong observed correlation does not always imply a causal relationship) • extrapolating beyond the original range of the regressor x
