Conceptual understanding and interpretation of regression slope and intercept coefficients
Gauss Markov properties of Best Linear Unbiased Estimator
Coefficient of Determination and R squared

Regression Diagnostics

Checking the goodness of fit or R-squared
F-test as the joint hypothesis test for the regression model
Individual t-tests or hypothesis tests for statistical significance of coefficients
Normality of residuals
Checking for heteroscedasticity

Multiple linear regression

Meaning and interpretation of partial regression coefficients

Heteroskedasticity

Issue of heteroscedasticity
OLS remains unbiased but the variance is no longer the minimum variance

3. Breusch-Pagan hettest
4. White’s test
Fixing for heteroscedasticity using weighted least squares or using White’s robust standard errors

Autocorrelation

Issue of autocorrelation in residuals
OLS is still unbiased but minimum is no longer minimum variance
Graphical detection through scatterplot of residuals
Runs test
Durbin Watson Test and its limitations
Breusch-Godfrey test for autocorrelation
Lagrange multiplier test
Newey west standard errors to fix the issue of autocorrelation
