๐ Title & Purpose
This tool helps you understand how OLS estimation works by allowing you to experiment with different line parameters and observe their effect on residuals.
๐ฏ Goal of this Tool
Visualize how changing intercept and slope impacts fit and residuals.
๐งช How It Works
Choose how many data points to generate from a linear model with random errors. Use sliders to guess the best-fitting line and compare it to the true OLS line.
๐ ๏ธ Controls
- "Generate New Data" creates new random data.
- Use sliders to set intercept and slope of your line.
- Check box to show true regression line.
๐ง What to Observe
Observe how residual lines change with your adjustments, and how residuals distribute.
๐ Challenge
Can you find the combination of intercept and slope that minimizes SSR?
