Definitions:

Biased

A condition where a measure or estimate systematically deviates from the true value due to a flaw in the measurement or sampling process.

Multicollinearity

A statistical phenomenon in which two or more predictor variables in a multiple regression model are highly correlated, potentially distorting the model's estimations.

Standard Errors

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, measuring the accuracy with which a sample estimate represents the population parameter.

Parameter Estimates
