Abstract

A mathematical model becomes an econometric model only when we include the stochastic term. The model is generally based on certain assumptions regarding the behavior of stochastic variable. Violation of these assumptions leads to certain problems in the model estimation. This paper aims to develop methods to avoid the violation of stochastic assumptions with the help of algebraic functions due to the relationships between the values of independent and dependent variables.
