2. Use of Quadratic Terms in Regression Models One useful form of linear regression is the quadratic regression model Assume that we have n observations of x and y The quadratic regression model relating y to x isy = b0 + b1x + b2x2 + e Where b0 + b1x + b2x2 is the mean value of the dependent variable y when the value of the independent variable is x b0, b1, and b2 are unknown regression parameters relating the mean value of y to x e is an error term that describes the effects on y of all factors other than x and x2
