Assume that in a particular multiple regression model, it is determined that the error terms are uncorrelated with each other. Which of the following statements is most accurate?
A) |
Unconditional heteroskedasticity present in this model should not pose a problem, but can be corrected by using robust standard errors. | |
B) |
Serial correlation may be present in this multiple regression model, and can be confirmed only through a Durbin-Watson test. | |
C) |
This model is in accordance with the basic assumptions of multiple regression analysis because the errors are not serially correlated. | |
One of the basic assumptions of multiple regression analysis is that the error terms are not correlated with each other. In other words, the error terms are not serially correlated. Multicollinearity and heteroskedasticity are problems in multiple regression that are not related to the correlation of the error terms. |
