Engineering Applications of Statistics
A fixed effects model is a statistical approach used in the analysis of panel data that controls for time-invariant characteristics of individuals or groups by allowing each entity to have its own intercept. This model is particularly useful in studies where the goal is to estimate the effect of variables that vary over time while eliminating biases due to unobserved factors that do not change. It helps in isolating the impact of predictors by accounting for differences that are constant over time for each entity.
congrats on reading the definition of Fixed Effects Model. now let's actually learn it.
