I genuinely love you for this

I love all your videos. I have been struggling with some concepts

[@loveconomics]

Why did you assume \sum(x_i - x_bar) = 0 in @5:00 but then take a conditional expectation of the same variables in @8:00 ? I would have just assumed they both equal to zero and have the \sum(xi-x_bar)^2 cancel. You would be left with beta_1_hat = beta_1. Great video either way. I am just not sure why you didn't assume \sum(x_i - x_bar) = 0 for both cases.

Does this apply to multivariate regressions as well as univariate? Thank you, great videos!

[@RemiDav]

I am not sure I understand your question ? Are you asking if the proof applies to multivariate regression ? For multivariate regression, there is a similar proof but using Matrix algebra.

[@TheVista255]

@@RemiDav Hi, have made any video to apply this method for multivariate regression, for example, 2 variables regression? I think we need to use matrix like your suggestion, but it is too complicated to me to make the calculation. Thank you

[@RemiDav]

@@TheVista255 I didn't make any matrix version, sorry.

Thank you for this video, really helpful. Just a small doubt, in the video summation of (xi - xbar) is constant because for the condition on x (which has a constant value, say C), (xi - xbar) = (c - xbar) and thus we are left with E[u|x].

6:12 How Do you get to the last line from the previous one? What is the operation?

[@RemiDav]

distribute the 1/sum(...) in the parenthesis and simplify.

@@RemiDav Thanks for that! It was under my nose really! Just got it 5 minutes ago after a closer look. I really enjoy your videos! Cheers!

[@গোলামমোস্তফা-শ৮থ]

Why the sum of (xi-x(bar)) is constant? Here, xi takes different values!! And why you take conditional expectation?

[@hipolitdobrohna8279]

can we consider elements in quatation of estimator b1 as random variables?

[@RemiDav]

I don't understand your question. You would have to tell me which elements exactly you are referring to. Note that if you are a Bayesian statistician, everything can be considered a random variable.

[@hipolitdobrohna8279]

@@RemiDav I mean that in general case every observation from random sampling is random variable; so at counting can we consider observations as random variables?

you made me understand, thank you...do you have any Video on LM statistics to shARE PLEASE

Are you talking about the Lagrange Multiplier test ?

yes sir
