CHAPTER SIXTEEN REGRESSION ANALYSIS: MODEL BUILDING MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS In the following multiple choice questions, circle the correct answer. 1. In multiple regression analysis, the general linear model a. can not be used to accommodate curvilinear relationships between dependent variables and independent variables b. can be used to accommodate curvilinear relationships between the independent variables and dependent variable c. must contain more than 2 independent variables d. None of these alternatives is correct. 2. The following model Y = (0 + (1X1 + ( is referred to as a a. curvilinear model b. curvilinear model with one predictor variable c. simple second-order model with one predictor variable d. simple first-order model with one predictor variable 3. In multiple regression analysis, the word linear in the term general linear model refers to the fact that a. (0, (1, . . . (p, all have exponents of 0 b. (0, (1, . . . (p, all have exponents of 1 c. (0, (1, . . . (p, all have exponents of at least 1 d. (0, (1, . . . (p, all have exponents of less than 1 4. Serial correlation is a. the correlation between serial numbers of products b. the same as autocorrelation c. the same as leverage d. None of these alternatives is correct. 5. The joint effect of two variables acting together is called a. autocorrelation b. interaction c. serial correlation d. joint regression 6. A test to determine whether or not first-order autocorrelation is present is a. a t test b. an F test c. a test of interaction d. a chi-square test 7. Which of the following tests is used to determine whether an additional variable makes a significant contribution to a multiple regression model? a. a t test b. a Z test c. an F test d. a chi-square test 8. A variable such as Z, whose value is Z = X1X2 is added to a general linear model in order to account for potential effects of two variables X1 and X2 acting together. This type of effect
