Question

Using this dataset, create a multiple linear regression model that captures both linear trend and additive seasonality. You should use quarter one as your base season and fit the model with all 24 data points. (Do not include the variable ‘Major Promotions`.) Which of the following are TRUE?

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is -1.

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is 0.

If you add up all the error tems for this model, you generate the forecast for next year.

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is 1.

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is -1.

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is 0.

If you add up all the error tems for this model, you generate the forecast for next year.

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is 1.

Explanation / Answer

The sum of errors will always be 0 in case of a regression model. Hence,

If you add up all the error terms for this model, its value is 0.

Option B is correct.
