A Procedure for Fitting Nonadditive Models

  • Published : 2000.08.01

Abstract

Many graphical methods have been suggested for obtaining an impression of a curvature in regression problem in which some covariates enter nonlinearly. However when true model does not belong to the class of additive models, graphical methods may contain a serious bias. A method is suggested which can avoid such bias in the fitting of nonaddive models.
