In statistics, Mallows's, [1] [2] named for Colin Lingwood Mallows, is used to assess the fit of a regression model that has been estimated using ordinary least squares.It is applied in the context of model selection, where a number of predictor variables are available for predicting some outcome, and the goal is to find the best model involving a subset of these predictors.
The forerunner of RATS was a FORTRAN program called SPECTRE, written by economist Christopher A. Sims. [2] SPECTRE was designed to overcome some limitations of existing software that affected Sims' research in the 1970s, by providing spectral analysis and also the ability to run long unrestricted distributed lags.

First, regression analysis is widely used for prediction and forecasting, where its use has substantial overlap with the field of machine learning. Second, in some situations regression analysis can be used to infer causal relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Importantly, regressions by themselves only reveal ...
First, with a data sample of length n, the data analyst may run the regression over only q of the data points (with q < n), holding back the other n – q data points with the specific purpose of using them to compute the estimated model’s MSPE out of sample (i.e., not using data that were used in the model estimation process).
Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression and is a reduced rank regression [1]; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space of maximum ...
Regression beta coefficient estimates from the Liang-Zeger GEE are consistent, unbiased, and asymptotically normal even when the working correlation is misspecified, under mild regularity conditions. GEE is higher in efficiency than generalized linear models (GLMs) in the presence of high autocorrelation. [ 1 ]
If the assumptions of OLS regression hold, the solution = (), with =, is an unbiased estimator, and is the minimum-variance linear unbiased estimator, according to the Gauss–Markov theorem. The term λ n I {\displaystyle \lambda nI} therefore leads to a biased solution; however, it also tends to reduce variance.
In statistics and in particular in regression analysis, leverage is a measure of how far away the independent variable values of an observation are from those of the other observations. High-leverage points , if any, are outliers with respect to the independent variables .
