There actually is, and the residuals plots are probably the key to understanding those assumptions. So let's take a closer look. We're gonna go into the regression menu. And because this set of menus can produce complex output, we're gonna start with just a simple regression example of this plot. We're gonna choose beginning salary as our dependent and…
