See Answer →Suppose you want to study the behavior of sales of automobiles over a number of years and someone
suggests you to try the following models:
yt= B0 + B1 t
yt= à0 + à1 t + à2 t2
Where yt = sales at time t and t = time. The first model postulates that sales is a linear function of time,
whereas the second model states that it is a quadratic function of time.
(a) Discuss the properties of these two models.
(b) How would you decide which model is appropriate between these two models?
(c) In what situation will the Quadric Model be useful.
