A quadratic second order model
E(Y)=β0+ β1x+ β2 x2
• Interpretation of model parameters:
• β0: y-intercept. The value of E(Y) when x1 = x2 = 0
• β1 : is the shift parameter;
• β2 : is the rate of curvature;
Example with quadratic terms
The true model, supposedly unknown, is
Yi 100.00
= 2 + xi2 + εi, with εi~N(0,2)

First-Order model in k Quantitative variables
E(Y)=β0+β1x1+β2 x2 + ... + βk xk
Interpretation of model parameters:
β0: y-intercept. The value of E(Y) when x1 = x2 =...= xk= 0
β1: change in E(Y) for a 1-unit increase in x1 when x2,.., xk
are held fixed;
β2: change in E(Y) for a 1-unit increase in x2 when x1, x3,...,
xk are held fixed;
...
A bivariate model
E(Y)=β0+β1x1+β2 x2
Changing x2 changes only the y-intercept.
In the first order model a 1-unit change in one independent
variable will have the same effect on the mean value of y
regardless of the other independent variables.

Interaction (second order) model
E(Y)=β0+ β1x1+ β2 x2 + β3 x1x2
• Interpretation of model parameters:
• β0: y-intercept. The value of E(Y) when x1 = x2 = 0
• β1+ β3 x2 : change in E(Y) for a 1-unit increase in x1
when x2 is held fixed;
• β2 + β3 x1 : change in E(Y) for a 1-unit increase in x2
when x1 is held fixed;
• β3: controls the rate of change of the surface.
Interaction (second order) model
E(Y)=β0+ β1x1+ β2 x2 + β3 x1x2
Contour lines are not parallel
The effect of one variable depends on the level of the other
Example: Antique grandfather clocks auction
Clocks are sold at an auction on competitive offers.
Data are:
– Y : auction price in dollars
– X1: age of clocks
– X2: number of bidders
Model 1: E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2
Model 2: E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x1x2

Interpreting interaction models
The coefficient for the interaction term is significant.
If an interaction term is present then also the
corresponding first order terms need to be included to
correctly interpret the model.
In the example an uncareful analyst could estimate the
effect of Bidders as negative, since b2=-93.26
Since an interaction term is present, the slope estimate
for Bidders (x2) is
b2 + b3x1
Note: b = ^β
For x1= 150 (age) the estimated slope for Bidders is
-93.26 + 1.3 (150) = 101.74
Models with qualitative X’s
Regression models can also include qualitative (or
categorical) independent variables (QIV).
The categories of a QIV are called levels
Since the levels of a QIV are not measured on a natural
numerical scale in order to avoid introducing fictitious
linear relations in the model we need to use a specific
type of coding.
Coding is done by using IV which assume only two values:
0 or 1.
These coded IV are called dummy variables
Models with QIV
• Suppose we want to model Income (Y) as a function of
Sex (x) -> use coded, or dummy, variables
x = 1 if Male, x = 0 if Female
E(Y) = β0+ β1x
E(Y) = β0+ β1 if x =1, i.e. Male
E(Y) = β0 if x =0, i.e. Female
β0 is the base level, i.e Female is the reference category
β1 is the additional effect if Male
In this simple model, only the means for the two groups
are modeled
QIV with q levels
As a general rule, if a QIV has q levels we need q-1 dummies
for coding. The uncoded level is the reference one.
Example: a QIV has three levels, A, B and C
Define
x1 = 1 level A, x1 = 0 if not
x2 = 1 level B, x2 = 0 if not
Model: E(Y) = β0+ β1x1 + β2x2 C is the reference level
Interpreting β’s
β0 = μC
(mean for base level C)
β1 = μA - μC
(additional effect wrt C if level A)
β2 = μB - μC
(additional effect wrt C if level B)
Models with dummies
Even if models which consider only dummy variables do in
practice estimate the means of various groups, the
testing machinery of the regression setup can be useful
for group comparisons.
Dummies can be used in combination with any other
dummies and quantitative X’s to construct models with
first order effects (or main effects) and interactions to
test hypotheses of interest.
In order to define dummies in SPSS see
“Computing dummy vars in SPSS.ppt”
Example: executive salaries
A managing consulting firms has developed a regression
model in order to analyze executive’s salary structure

New intercept for

In this model effect of experience
is assumed equal for the two
groups
Model 3: E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β3x3 + β4x1x3
With this model we want to test whether gender and
experience interacts, i.e. if male salary tend to grow at
a faster (slower) rate with experience.
If x3 = 0 (female) then E(Y) = β0 + β1x1
If x3 = 1 (male)
then E(Y) = (β0 + β3) + (β1 + β4)x1
New intercept for
male
New slope for male
Remark: running regression for the two groups together
allows to have higher degrees of freedom (n) for
estimating parameters and model variance.
Model 3: E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β3x3 + β4x1x3
Model 3 considers
different slope

β0: y-intercept. The value of E(Y) when x1 = x2 = 0
β1 and β2 : shifts along the x1 and x2 axes;
β3 : rotation of the surface;
β4 and β5 : controls the rate of curvature.

A test for comparing nested models
Two models are nested if one model contains all the terms
of the other model and at least one additional term.
The more complex of the two models is called the
complete (or full) model.
The other is called the reduced (or restricted) model.
Example: model 1 is nested in model 2
Model 1: E(Y)=β0+ β1x1+ β2 x2 + β3 x1x2
Model 2: E(Y)=β0+ β1x1+ β2 x2 + β3 x1x2+ β4x12+ β5 x22
To compare the two models we are interested in testing
H0: β4 = β5 = 0, vs. H1: at least one, β4 or β5, differs from 0
F-test for comparing nested models
Reduced model:
E(Y) = β0+ β1x1+ … + β2 xg
Complete Model:
E(Y) = β0+ β1x1+ … + β2 xg + βg+1 xg+1 + … + βkxk
To test
H0: βg+1 = … = βk = 0
H1: at least one of the parameters being tested is not 0
Compute
( SSER  SSEC ) /( k  g )
F
MSEC
Reject H0 when F > Fα, where Fα is the level α critical
point of an F distribution with (k-g, n-(k+1)) d.f.
F-test for nested models
Where:
SSER = Sum of squared errors for the reduced model;
SSEC = Sum of squared errors for the complete model;
MSEC = Mean square error for the complete model;
Remark:
k – g = number of parameters tested
k +1 = number of parameters in the complete model
n = total sample size
Compute partial F-tests with SPSS
1. Enter your complete model in the Regression dialog box
– choose the Method “Enter”
2. Click on “Next”
3. In the new box for Independent variables, enter those
you want to remove (i.e. those you’d like to test)
– choose the Method “Remove”
4. In the “Statistics” option select “R squared change”
5. Ok.
Applying the F-test
Let us use the F-test to compare Model 3 and Model 5 in
the executive salaries example.
Note that Model 3 is nested in Model 5
Model 3:
E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x3 + β3x1x3
Model 5:
E(Y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x3 + β3x1x3 + β4x12 + β5x3x12
Apply the F-test for H0: β4 = β5 = 0

A quadratic model example: Shipping costs
Although a regional delivery service bases the charge for shipping a
package on the package weight and distance shipped, its profit per
package depends on the package size (volume of space it occupies) and
the size and nature of the delivery truck.
The company conducted a study to investigate the relationship
between the cost of shipment and the variables that control the
shipping charge: weight and distance.
– Y : cost of shipment in dollars
– X1: package weight in pounds
– X2: distance shipped in miles
It is suspected that non linear effect may be present

The critical value Fα (at 5% level) for and F-distribution

Since F (9.92) > Fα (3.74) the null hypothesis is rejected at
the 5% significance level. I.e. the model with quadratic
