Interactions

Model equations The Interactions model 

 Y = b0 +  b1 X1 + b2 X2  + b12 X1 X2

The Response Surface Model (interactions+quadratic model)

 Y = b0 +  b1 X1 + b2 X2  + b11 X12 + b22 X22 + b12 X1 X2

Sometimes an error term �e� is added to the end of each model equation. This is done to remind us that all estimated models are approximations.
