In linear regression the assumption is that:

Y = (X)T.A + B + E

where, A and B are the parameters and E is the error term or Noise.

Wherever I read, the model assumes that the noise is normally distributed, with a constant variance.

What if the E ~ N(0, c^2) assumption is broken?

What if the variance is not constant? Why does the variance have to be constant?

What if E follows another distribution?

Could you show the impact of breaking these assumptions in terms of mathematical analysis?

Cheers!
