The model is fit by a minimization problem:

----


This line must pass through the mean and the slope of the line must be the marginal change in ''Y'' given a unit change in ''X''. In other words, the line must pass through two points:
with the constraint:

where: The [[Calculus/PartialDerivatives|partial derivative]] of this constraint with respect to ''b'' is calculated like:
Line 30: Line 24:
 * ''X‾'' is the sample mean of ''X'' (estimating ''μ,,X,,'')
 * ''Y‾'' is the sample mean of ''Y'' (estimating ''μ,,Y,,'')
 * ''s,,X,,'' is the sample standard deviation of ''X'' (estimating ''σ,,X,,'')
 * ''s,,Y,,'' is the sample standard deviation of ''Y'' (estimating ''σ,,Y,,'')
 * and ''r,,XY,,'' is the sample correlation coefficient between ''X'' and ''Y'' (estimating ''ρ,,XY,,'')

This reduced form can be quickly solved for ''β''.

Because the correlation coefficient can be expressed in terms of covariance and standard deviations...

{{attachment:correlation.svg}}

...the solution for ''β'' can be further reduced.

{{attachment:beta5.svg}}

Therefore, the regression line is estimated to be:

OLS Multivariate Derivation

The model is constructed like:

model1.svg

where:

  • y and ε are vectors of size n

  • β is a vector of size p

  • X is a matrix of shape n by p

This is estimated as:

model2.svg

with the constraint:

model3.svg

The partial derivative of this constraint with respect to b is calculated like:

b1.svg

b2.svg

Set this derivative to 0 to find the minimum with respect to b.
