A very strong priori or theoretical expectation, otherwise stick to the conventional intercept-present model. • 2. If intercept is included in the regression model but it turns out to be statistically insignificant, then we have to drop the intercept to re-run the regression.

Functional Forms of Regression The term linear in a simple regression model means that there are linear in the parameters; variables in the regression model may or may not be linear.

Linear vs. Nonlinear Examples of Linear Statistical Models Yi = 0 + 1Xi + i Yi = 0 + 1 ln(Xi)+ i 2 ln(Yi) = 0 + 1Xi + i Yi = 0 + 1Xi + i Examples of Non-linear Statistical Models 2 2 Yi = 0 + 1Xi + i Yi = 0 + 1Xi + i Yi = 0 + 1Xi + exp(2Xi)+ i
