Supervisors: (1)	No
Evaluation methods:(2)	Written examination with distance through e-class and Microsoft Teams, provided that the integrity and reliability of the examination are ensured.
Implementation Instructions: (3)	The examination will be conducted via multiple choice questions in e-class and Microsoft Teams on the scheduled date. A. Microsoft Teams The Microsoft Teams link is created on the course page on the platform and exclusively in the institutional accounts of those who have registered for the course and have learned the terms of distance education. Students must log in to the Microsoft Teams room through their institutional account, otherwise they will NOT be able to participate. They will be identified using their institutional account. B. e-class At the same time, they must log in to the e-class using their institutional account and go to the course page (a prerequisite to have registered for the course) https://eclass.duth.gr/courses/OPE01144/ The exam lasts 20 minutes, and each student must answer 10 multiple-choice questions without a negative grade, which are graded with 0.5. In addition, two questions to be developed (free text) are graded 2.5.

1. General Concepts (Random variables, Expected value of a random variable Variance, Standard deviation of a random variable, covariance of two random variables, X,Y Expected value of a random variable, variance, standard deviation of a random variable.

5. Application of regression Variance-Covariance of random error, Attributes of b estimate),

6. Hypothesis testing (t-ratio of b , The coefficient of determination r2 , Correlation coefficient r, Evaluation of the sub – sample),

7. General Model Y = β Χ + β Χ +…+ β Χ + e (By the method of matrix-tables) (Presentation of the model Y = b X + b X +…+ b X + e, Appraisers fluctuations – covariance of rates, the coefficient of multiple determination R, Sums squares tabular assessment model, assessment of individual factors, Evaluation of the entire design),

Resolving the three variables model Y = b + b X + b X + e checksum (Solving the three variables model, the coefficient of multiple determination R, the corrected coefficient multiple determination, and Some Simple Coefficient of determination, coefficient of determination Simple, Some factors identification, assessment of the variability of the disturbing term fluctuations b, b,

9. Testing of Linear restrictions on some coefficients regression, the statistical relationship between F and the coefficient of determination R2,

10. Violations of Linear Model assumptions (Multi collinearity, Testing the existence of multi collinearity, Estimation methods of models with multi – collinearity

11. Autocorrelation, Autocorrelation of first order, Consequences of autocorrelation,

12. Autocorrelation tests (Graphical depict of the residuals, Durbin-Watson Test, t-statistic test, h Durbin criterion), Test for autocorrelation of greater order ( Breusch-Godfrey Test, F-criterion test), Estimation methods of models with autocorrelation,

13. Heteroscedasticity, Heteroscedasticity tests, (Spearman coefficient of correlation, Goldfeld-Quand criterion, White criterion), Estimation methods of models with heteroscedasticity.
