Model Selection Criteria (2019)

All models are wrong, but some are useful. Model selection criteria are rules used to select a (statistical) model among competing models, based on given data. Several model selection criteria are used to choose among a set of candidate models, and/ or compare models for forecasting purposes. All model selection …

Checking Normality of Error Term

Normality of Error Term In multiple linear regression models, the sum of squared residuals (SSR) is divided by $n-p$ (degrees of freedom, where $n$ is the total number of observations, and $p$ is the number of the parameter in the model) is a good estimate of the error variance. In …
