Error Term Symbol
statistics and optimization, errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of an observed value of an element of a statistical sample from its "theoretical value". The error (or disturbance) of an observed value is the deviation of the observed value from the (unobservable) true value of a quantity of interest (for example, a population mean), and the residual of an observed value is the difference between the observed value and the estimated value of the quantity of interest (for example, a sample mean). The distinction is most important in regression analysis, where the concepts are sometimes called the regression errors and regression residuals and where they lead to the concept of studentized residuals.

Residuals The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable (y) and the predicted value (ŷ) is called the residual (e). Each data point has one residual. Residual = Observed value - Predicted value e = y - ŷ Both the sum and the mean of the residuals are equal to zero. That is, Σ e = 0 and http://stattrek.com/regression/residual-analysis.aspx e = 0. Residual Plots A residual plot is a graph that shows the residuals on the vertical axis and the independent variable on the horizontal axis. If the points in a residual plot are randomly dispersed around the horizontal axis, a linear regression model is appropriate for the data; otherwise, a non-linear model is more appropriate. Below the table on the left shows inputs and outputs from a simple linear regression analysis, and the chart on the right displays the residual (e) and independent variable (X) as a residual plot. x 60 70 80 85 95 y 70 65 70 95 85 ŷ 65.411 71.849 78.288 81.507 87.945 e 4.589 -6.849 -8.288 13.493 -2.945 The residual plot shows a fairly random pattern - the first residual is positive, the next two are negative, the fourth is positive, and the last residual is negative. This random pattern indicates that a linear model provides a decent fit to the data. Below, the residual plots show three typical patterns. The first plot shows a random pattern, indicating a good fit for a linear model. The other plot

The difference between an observed target and a predicted target in a regression analysis is known as the residual and is a measure of model accuracy.

5 April, 2012 Anyone who has performed ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis knows that you need to check the residual plots in order to validate your model. Have you ever wondered why? There are mathematical reasons, of course, but I’m going to focus on the conceptual reasons. The bottom line is that randomness and unpredictability are crucial components of any regression model. If you don’t have those, your model is not valid. Why? To start, let’s breakdown and define the 2 basic components of a valid regression model: Response = (Constant + Predictors) + Error Another way we can say this is: Response = Deterministic + Stochastic The Deterministic Portion This is the part that is explained by the predictor variables in the model. The expected value of the response is a function of a set of predictor variables. All of the explanatory/predictive information of the model should be in this portion. The Stochastic Error Stochastic is a fancy word that means random and unpredictable. Error is the difference between the expected value and the observed value. Putting this together, the differences between the expected and observed values must be unpredictable. In other words, none of the explanatory/predictive information should be in the error. The idea is that the deterministic portion of your model is so good at explaining (or predicting) the response that only the inherent randomness of any real-world phenomenon remains leftover for the error portion. If you observe explanatory or predictive power in the error, you know that your predictors are missing some of the predictive information. Residual plots help you check this! Statistical caveat: Regression residuals are actually estimates of the true error, just like the regression coefficients are estimates of the true population coefficients. Using Residual Plots Using residual plots, you can assess whether the observed error (residuals) is consistent with stochastic error. This process is easy to understand with a die-rolling analogy. When you roll a die, you shouldn’t be able to predict which number will show on any given toss. However, you can assess a series of tosses to determine whether the displayed numbers follow a random pattern. If the number six shows up more frequently than randomness dictates, you know something is wrong with your understanding (mental model) of how the die actually behaves. If a gambler looked at the analysis of die rolls, he could adjust his mental model, and playing style, to factor in the
