Briefly, Greek letters are often used to represent the true values of the parameters, whereas adding hats (eg, $\beta$ vs $\hat\beta$) suggests the estimate of the parameter values that you got by analyzing your data. | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 17:05 | comment | added | whuber♦ | (+1) A warning for those familiar with regression who might be reading this: the material referenced in the question uses betas (without hats) to refer to the estimated coefficients rather than the model parameters and $\epsilon_i$ to refer to the residuals rather than the random components of the model. In that sense this answer is perfectly correct--but we ought to look askance at the reference material for so abusing a conventional notation! | |
