... b. Suppose I ignore the known fact that the constant term in my model equals 0, and fit the model with a constant term anyway. Does this cause my estimator of β to be biased? a. The sum of squares is Σi (yi - βxi) . The least squares estimator of β minimizes this sum of squares. The derivative is ...
