Homework Statement



Guys , hi ! I need help with my test .
In YOUR own words , answer the following :
1) what is econometrics?
2) what is an estimator ? What is an estimate ?
3) what does unbiasedness imply for an estimator ? Is parameter estimate of an unbiased estimator from a sample necessarily the true population value for that parameter ?
4)how does the OLS estimator work ?

last 2 more important in your own words ! Thank you very much !

I think they want the responses in YOUR own words, not ours.

Anywho, have you even done the most basic research on any of these questions?

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
