Question: Write a regression model relating E(y) to a qualitative independent variable that can assume three levels. Interpret all the terms in the model.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

The regression model for one qualitative independent variable with two-level is $E (y) = 尾_{0} + 尾_{1} x_{1} + 尾_{2} x_{2} + 尾_{3} x_{3}$ .Here $尾_{0}$ denotes $渭 x i$ the mean for base level and role="math" localid="1649848834273" $尾_{1}, 尾_{2}$ _, and $尾_{3}$ denotes the difference between the mean levels for different dummy variables. While, $x_{1}, x_{2}$ , and $x_{3}$ denotes the dummy variables used in the model which can take the value of either 0 or 1.

Step by step solution

Regression model for one qualitative independent variable

A regression model relating the mean value of y to a qualitative independent variable that can assume two levels can be written as

$E (y) = 尾_{0} + 尾_{1} x_{1} + 尾_{2} x_{2} + 尾_{3} x_{3}$

Where, $x_{1}$ is the dummy variable for $i+1level$

Meaning $x_{1} = (\begin{matrix} 1 i f y i s o b s e r v e d a t l e v e l i + 1 \\ 0 0 t h e r w i s e \end{matrix})$

Interpretation of the terms in the model

Here $尾_{0}$ denotes $渭 x i$ the mean for base level and _{$尾_{1}, 尾_{2}$} and $尾_{3}$ denotes the difference between the mean levels for different dummy variables. While, $x_{1}, x_{2}$ , and $x_{3}$ denotes the dummy variables used in the model which can take the value of either 0 or 1.
