If we fit a linear model to a non-linear, the regression model would not capture the trend mathematically, thus resulting in an inefficient model. Also this will result in erroneous prediction on out of sample data There should be no relationship between the…

2)There should be no relationship between the residuals (error) terms. Absence of this phenomenon is called Auto Correlation. The presence of correlation in error terms reduces model’s accuracy. This usually occurs in time series model. If the error terms are correlated, it underestimates the true standard error. 3) The independent variables should not be correlated. Absence of this phenomenon is…
