Jan 31, 2020 at 16:01 comment added user137795 I removed my accepted answer due to a helpful downvote to inspire a better answer, @gwg. But for someone may find a compact answer useful, I place it here as comment: Assuming the real model is: $y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_{i1} + \epsilon_i$ but you add a factor $X_{2i}$ which is not related the $y_i$ to model and fit the new model $y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_{i1} + \beta_2 X_{i2} + \epsilon_i$ In general, you will get a $\hat{\beta_2} \neq 0$ , then if you run the model to predict something including factor $X_{i2}$ , you will suffer over-fit.
