Explanation

RY = b0 + b1x1+b2x2+ .... +bnxn In the linear model, the bi's represent the unknown p parameters. The estimates for these unknown parameters are chosen so that, on average, the model provides a reasonable estimate of a person's income based on age and education. In other words, the fitted model should minimize the overall error between the linear model and the actual observations. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is a common technique to estimate the parameters
