Key Concepts

Polynomial Functions

Polynomial functions include terms where predictor variables are raised to a power higher than one, such as squared or cubic terms. These terms introduce curvature into the model and represent nonlinear relationships between the predictor and the response, differentiating them from purely linear or interaction-only models.

Linear Functions

Linear functions are defined as functions in which the outcome is expressed as a weighted sum of the predictor variables without any exponents other than one or any multiplication among the variables. These functions maintain constant returns to scale and additive effects, meaning each predictor contributes independently to the response.

Interaction Terms

Interaction terms in a function are created by multiplying two or more predictor variables together to capture the effect of their joint variation on the outcome. They allow the effect of one variable on the response to depend on the levels of another variable.
