Which of the Following Statements Are True?
A) the Kth-Degree $Y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x + \beta _ { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + \cdots \cdots + \beta _ {k } x ^ { k} + \varepsilon$

question 52

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements are true?

• A) The kth-degree polynomial model \(Y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x + \beta _ { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + \cdots \cdots + \beta _ {k } x ^ { k} + \varepsilon\)
• With K large is quite unrealistic in virtually all applications, and in most applications k =2 (quadratic) or k =3 (cubic) is appropriate.
• B) The objective of regression analysis is to find a model that is both simple (relatively few parameters) and provides a good fit to the data.
• C) A higher-degree polynomial may not specify a better model than a lower-degree model despite its higher coefficient of multiple determination \(R ^ { 2 }\)
• Value.
• D) All of the above statements are true.
• E) None of the above statements are true.
