Question 1

Qualitative data cannot be incorporated into linear regression models.

Accepted Answer

False

Question 2

If a square root transformation is applied to a series of positive numbers greater than 1,the numerical values of the numbers in the transformed series will be smaller than the corresponding numbers in the original series.

Accepted Answer

This is because the square root of any number greater than 1 is less than the original number. Therefore, the transformed series will have smaller numerical values than the original series.

Question 3

The regression model y = $\beta$₀ + $\beta$₁ x₁ + $\beta$₂ x₂ + $\beta$₃ x₁x₂ + $\varepsilon$is a first-order model.

Accepted Answer

The given regression model includes interaction terms (e.g., terms involving the product of two variables), which indicates it is not a first order model but rather a higher order model.

Question 4

A logarithmic transformation may be applied to both positive and negative numbers.

Accepted Answer

A logarithmic transformation is only defined for positive numbers. It is undefined for negative numbers and complex numbers.

Question 5

The regression model y = $\beta$₀ + $\beta$₁ x₁ + $\beta$₂ x²₁ + $\varepsilon$is called a quadratic model.

Accepted Answer

The presence of quadratic terms (x^2) in the regression equation indicates that it is a quadratic model. In this case, there are quadratic terms present in the model such as (x*S1*U1*B11*S1*U1*B0) and (x*S1*P12*S1*S1*P0*S1*U1*B11*S1*U1*B0). Therefore, the given regression model is a quadratic model.

Question 7

If the effect of an independent variable (e.g. ,humidity)on a dependent variable (e.g. ,hardness)is affected by different ranges of values for a second independent variable (e.g. ,temperature),the two independent variables are said to interact.

Accepted Answer

This statement correctly describes the concept of interaction between independent variables.

Question 8

A linear regression model can be used to explore the possibility that a quadratic relationship may exist between two variables by suitably transforming the independent variable.

Accepted Answer

By transforming the independent variable, a quadratic relationship can be linearized and hence linear regression can be used to model it.

Question 9

Use all possible regressions,stepwise regression,forward selection,and backward elimination search procedures to develop regression models that account for the most variation in the dependent variable and are parsimonious.

Question 11

If a square transformation is applied to a series of positive numbers greater than 1,the numerical values of the numbers in the transformed series will be smaller than the corresponding numbers in the original series.

Accepted Answer

When a square transformation is applied to a series of positive numbers greater than 1, the numerical values of the numbers in the transformed series will be larger than the corresponding numbers in the original series. This is because squaring a number greater than 1 results in a larger numerical value than the original number.

Question 12

The regression model y = $\beta$₀ + $\beta$₁ x₁ + $\beta$₂ x₂ + $\beta$₃ x₃ + $\varepsilon$is a third order model.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The regression model y = $\beta$₀ +...

Question 13

A useful tool in improving the regression model fit is recoding data.

Accepted Answer

Recoding data can help improve the fit of a regression model by transforming the original variables into a more suitable form that better represents the underlying relationship between the predictors and the outcome variable. This can include creating dummy variables, transforming continuous variables, or grouping categorical variables. By recoding the data, we can reduce the impact of outliers, improve linearity, and increase the explanatory power of the model.

Question 14

Regression models in which the highest power of any predictor variable is 1 and in which there are no cross product terms are referred to as first-order models.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. First-order models only include predictor variables with a power of 1 and do not contain any interaction (cross product) terms.

Question 15

A linear regression model cannot be used to explore the possibility that a quadratic relationship may exist between two variables.

Accepted Answer

A linear regression model can include squared terms (or other transformations of the independent variables) to explore and model quadratic relationships between variables.

Question 16

Examine the role of indicator,or dummy,variables as predictors or independent variables in multiple regression analysis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Examine the role of indicator,or dummy,variables as...

Question 17

The interaction between two independent variables can be examined by including a new variable,which is the sum of the two independent variables,in the regression model.

Accepted Answer

The interaction between two independent variables is examined by including a new variable that is the product of the two independent variables, not their sum, in the regression model.

Question 18

A qualitative variable which represents categories such as geographical territories or job classifications may be included in a regression model by using indicator or dummy variables.

Accepted Answer

Indicator or dummy variables can be used to represent qualitative variables in a regression model, by assigning a value of 1 or 0 to each category. This allows the model to capture the effect of those categories on the dependent variable.

Question 19

If a qualitative variable has c categories,then c dummy variables must be included in the regression model,one for each category.

Accepted Answer

If a qualitative variable has c categories, then c-1 dummy variables are needed in the regression model to avoid the dummy variable trap and ensure the model is identifiable.
