Lecture Examples Topic 7: Models with Two or More Quantitative Independent Variables We only discuss several models with two quantitative independent variables. Let y be the response variable and x1 and x2 be two independent quantitative variables. The three most commonly used two variables models are as follows: First-Order Model with Two Independent Variables: Assumptions: 1) E(() = 0; 2) Var(() = (2; 3) The error for each observation comes from a normal population; 4) Error terms are independent. Unknown Parameters: (0??y-intercept? ?1??Change in E(y) for a one-unit increase in x1 when x2 is held fixed ?2: Change in E(y) for a one-unit increase in x2 when x1 is held fixed Interaction Second-Order Model with Two Independent Variables: Assumptions: 1) E(() = 0; 2) Var(() = (2; 3) The error for each observation comes from a normal population; 4) Error terms are independent. Unknown Parameters: (0??y-intercept? (1 + (3x2: Change in E(y) for one-unit increase in x1?when x2 is held fixed (2 + (3x1: Change in E(y) for one-unit increase in x2 when x1 is held fixed (3: Controls the rate of twist in the surface Complete Second-Order Model with Two Independent Variables: Assumptions: 1) E(() = 0; 2) Var(() = (2; 3) The error for each observation comes from a normal population; 4) Error terms are independent. Unknown Parameters: (0??y-intercept ?1??Changing ?1 causes the surface to shift along the x1 axis ?2: Changing ?2 causes the surface to shift along the x2 axis (3: Controls the rotation of the surface (4 and (5: Signs and values of these parameters control the type of surface and the rates of curvature Example 12.13: A study was conducted to investigate the variables that affect the violence assault (y). The independent variables include temperature (x1) and time period of day (in 8 three-hour interval) (x2). (a) Identify the type (quantitative or qualitative) of each independent variable. (b) Write down th
