The simple regression model (SRM) is model for association in the population between an explanatory variable X and response Y. The SRM states that these averages align on a line with intercept β0 and slope β1: µy|x = E(Y|X = x) = β0 + β1x Deviation from the Mean The deviation of observed responses around the conditional means µy|x are called errors (ε). The error’s equation: ε = y - µy|x Errors can be positive or negative‚ depending on whether data lie above (positive) or below the conditional
