Linear Regression conception
the true regression model is Y=B0+B1X+esilon
However, the sample simple regression line is Y_head=B0_head+B1_headX, and it doesn't have the error esilon, but why .Please explain it step by step and with some proof to support
***follow the comment***
The true regression model is
The sample regression line is
We note that the sample regression line does not have an error term.
This is because of the fact that by the definition of sample mean, the sum of residuals, which are not independent, in a random sample is necessarily zero. The statistical errors, in the population, on the other hand are necessarily independent, and their sum is not necessarily zero.
