Consider the plane ${ \mathbb{R} ^2 . }$ Consider the origin ${ (0, 0) . }$ Consider the natural error generating process: The random error vector is ${ \mathcal{E} = (\varepsilon _1, \varepsilon _2) . }$ The components ${ \varepsilon _1, \varepsilon _2 }$ are independent and identically distributed. The distribution of ${ \mathcal{E} }$... Read more 08 Oct 2025 - 1 minute read
