Suppose that we have two independent samples, say

Two models can be fi t to these samples, y xi n i ii =+ + = ββ ε 0 1 1 2 2 , ,, , …
y x in n n n i ii =+ + =+ + + γγ ε 0 1 , , ,, 1 1 12 1 2 …

a. Show how these two separate models can be written as a single model.

b. Using the result in part

a, show how the general linear hypothesis can be used to test the equality of slopes β1 and γ1 .

c. Using the result in part

a, show how the general linear hypothesis can be used to test the equality of the two regression lines.

d. Using the result in part

a, show how the general linear hypothesis can be used to test that both slopes are equal to a constant c .
