Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Performances of the OLS and some GLS Estimators when Stochastic Regressors are both Collinear and Correlated with Error TermsKayode AyindeThe Classical Linear Regression Model assumes that regressors are non – stochastic, independent and uncorrelated with the error terms. These assumptions are not always tenable especially where regressors are not often assumed fixed in repeated sampling. In this paper, with stochastic regressors, the performances of the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and some Generalized Least Square (GLS) estimators are investigated and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
