Now, I know how to do this particular one, but I was wondering if anyone had a place to get questions similar to this? I've tried googling, but have not come up with anything.

Consider the regression model: $y=Bx + u$, where $\mathbb{E}(u)=0$, $\mathbb{Var}(u)=\sigma^2$. Is the following estimator an asymptotically unbiased estimator for $B$?

$ \mathbb{E}(B) = \frac{\mathbb{Var}(n u)}{\sigma^2 n} $

Many thanks.

    I would expect the estimator for $B$ to be a function of $(x_i,y_i)$ pairs, given that this is a _regression_ model. Could you please clarify the question. Also, please review my edit, to make sure the intended meaning is intact.2012-05-01
