Which of the following will not change a nonlinear model into a linear model?
A) logarithmic transformation
B) square-root transformation
C) variance inflationary factor
D) quadratic regression model

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Variance inflationary factor (VIF) is a measure of multicollinearity, which is not related to transforming a nonlinear model into a linear model. Options A and B suggest transforming the data into a different functional form, which can linearize a previously nonlinear model. Option D suggests incorporating a quadratic term into the regression model, which will result in a linear model with respect to the new terms.
