Polynomial Regression Polynomial regression model may contain one, two or more than two predictor variables. Further, each predictor variable may be present in various powers. Fitting of polynomial regression models presents no new problems since they are special cases of the general linear regression model. Power Cells Example: A study of the effects of the charge rate and temperature on the life of a new type of power cell. The charge rate (X1) was controlled at three levels. The ambient temperature (X2) was controlled at three levels. Life of power cell (Y) measured by the number of charge-discharge cycles that a power cell underwent before it failed. Start with a second-order polynomial regression model with two predictor variables Fitted Second-Order Polynomial Model Case Summaries Number of Cycles Yi Charge Rate X1 Temperature X2 xi2 x22 x1 x2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 150.00 86.00 49.00 288.00 157.00 131.00 184.00 109.00 279.00 235.00 224.00 .60 1.00 1.40 .60 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.40 .60 1.00 1.40 10.00 10.00 10.00 20.00 20.00 20.00 20.00 20.00 30.00 30.00 30.00 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 Use of the new centered and scaled variables rather than original variables can reduce the correlation between the first power and second power terms. Correlation between X1 and X12: 0.991 X2 and X22: 0.986 x1 and x12: 0 x2 and x22: 0 Note there are three repeated combinations of X1 and X2 Residuals Plots correlation coefficient=0.974 Test of Fit of the Second-Order Polynomial Model Partial Test of the Second-Order Terms (Is first-order model sufficient?). Partial F-Test No curvature and interaction effects are needed.
