Anomalies of the magnitude of the bias of the maximum likelihood estimator of the regression slope
(Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2015)The slope of the best-fit line y h x x 0 1 ( ) from minimizing a function of the squared vertical and horizontal errors is the root of a polynomial of degree four which has exactly two real roots, one positive and ... -
Geometric view of measurement errors
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of the squared oblique errors is the root of a polynomial of degree four. This geometric view of measurement errors is used to give insight into the performance of ...
