Under certain conditions, maximizing the log-likelihood is equivalent to minimizing mean-squared error for linear regression. The mean-squared error can be defined as $\mathcal{L}_{m s e}(\mathbf{w}):=$ $\frac{1}{2 N} \sum_{n=1}^{N}\left(y_{n}-\widetilde{\mathbf{x}}_{n}^{\top} \mathbf{w}\right)^{2}$ and $y_{n}=\widetilde{\mathbf{x}}_{n}^{\top} \mathbf{w}+\varepsilon_{n}$ is assumed for the probabilistic model. Which of following conditions is necessary for the equivalence? A. The noise parameter $\varepsilon_{n}$ should have a normal distribution. B. The target variable $y_{n}$ should have a normal distribution. C. The i.i.d. assumption on the variable $\mathbf{w}$. D. The conditional probability $p\left(y_{n} \mid \widetilde{\mathbf{x}}_{n}, \mathbf{w}\right)$ should follow a Laplacian distribution. E.
