The model relating the mean DDT level E(y) of contaminated fish to x1 = miles captured upstream,
Question:
a. Set up the appropriate dummy variables for species.
b. Write the equation of a model that proposes parallel straight-line relationships between mean DDT level E(y) and weight, one line for each species.
c. Write the equation of a model that proposes nonparallel straight-line relationships between mean DDT level E(y) and weight, one line for each species.
d. Fit the model, part b, to the data saved in the file. Give the least squares prediction equation.
e. Refer to part d. Interpret the value of the least squares estimate of the beta coefficient multiplied by weight.
f. Fit the model, part c, to the data saved in the file. Give the least squares prediction equation.
g. Refer to part f. Find the estimated slope of the line relating DDT level (y) to weight for the channel catfish species.
For Information: Refer to Exercise 12.18 Beta Coefficient
Beta coefficient is a measure of sensitivity of a company's stock price to movement in the broad market index. It is an indicator of a stock's systematic risk which is the undiversifiable risk inherent in the whole financial system. Beta coefficient...
