Residual Sum of Squares
RSS - Error
Residual Sum of Squares is important. The more strict notation is error, not residual because Error is the random variable but residual is a constant after fitted.

👀 Geometrical view

Y is the projection onto the column space of X. This is because H is the projection matrix that has symmetric / idempotent properties. H is called as hat matrix (giving y a hat)

ε⊥xi​, because ϵ=y−y^​. If we estimate βin other methods with exclusion of LSM method, the form y^​=β0​+X1​β1​+X2​β2​ still remains. y^​ is interpreted still as the vector on col(X). However, In this case y^​ is not a projected vector so that the residual and variables are not orthogonal.
