In Frontiers in Automobile and Mechanical Engineering (Nov. 2010), a model was developed to predict the thrust
Question:
a. Write the equation of an interaction model for thrust force as a function of spindle speed, feed rate, and fraction weight. Include all possible two-variable interaction terms in the model.
b. Give a function of the model parameters (i.e., the slope) that represent the change in force for every 1% increase in weight when rate is fixed at 50 mm/minute and speed is fixed at 1000 rpm.
c. Give a function of the model parameters (i.e., the slope) that represent the change in force for every 1% increase in weight when rate is fixed at 150 mm/minute and speed is fixed at 1000 rpm.
d. Fit the interaction model, part a, to the data using statistical software. Give the least squares prediction equation.
e. Conduct a test to determine whether any of the interaction terms are statistically useful for predicting thrust force. Use α = .05.
