Question

In multiple regression analysis, the word linear in the term "general linear model" refers to the fact that β0, β1, . . ., βp all have exponents of a. at least 1. b. less than 0. c. 0. d. 1.

Answer 1

d. 1

Explanation:

it is called linear because β0, β1, . . ., βp all have their exponents to be 1. A multiple linear regression is a type of regression which has more than one independent variable. it tells us the existing relationship between 2 or more of these independent variables on the dependent variable. for it to be regarded to be linear, it is very important that the exponents be equal to 1. else it could be quadratic.
