Prediction of the mean value of the dependent variable y for values of the independent variables x₁, x₂, . . . , x_q that are outside the experimental range is called A)dummy variable. B)overfitting. C)extrapolation. D)interacton.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extrapolation is the prediction of values of the dependent variable outside the range of the independent variables used in the experiment. Using extrapolation can be risky because it assumes that the relationship between the independent and dependent variables continues beyond the range of the data.
