In LaTeX, you can insert the beta (β) symbol using the command \beta. This command will produce the Greek letter beta in the output. You can use \beta inside $$ to include the beta symbol within text or in mathematical equations.

Beta (β) symbol in LaTeX
Here’s an example of how to use it in a LaTeX document.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The beta symbol is: $\beta$
\end{document}When you compile this document, you will see the beta symbol in the output.
Let’s have a look at another example of using the beta symbol.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The beta symbol ($\beta$) often plays a pivotal role in statistical modeling. When estimating parameters in linear regression, for instance, each predictor variable is associated with its own beta coefficient. These coefficients, denoted as $\beta_{1}$,$\beta_{2}$, and so forth, quantify the impact of each predictor on the response variable. Researchers interpret these beta values to understand the strength and direction of the relationships between variables.

Use of Beta (β) symbol in Equations
Here’s an example of using the beta symbol in a LaTeX equation.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Consider a linear regression model with two predictor variables \(x_1\) and \(x_2\), and a response variable \(y\). The model can be represented as:
\[
y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + \beta_2 x_2 + \epsilon
\]
Here, \(\beta_0\) is the intercept, \(\beta_1\) and \(\beta_2\) are the coefficients associated with \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) respectively, and \(\epsilon\) represents the error term. The values of \(\beta_0\), \(\beta_1\), and \(\beta_2\) are estimated during the model fitting process.
