  27. Using more than one explanatory variable Last words… • Two or more x-variables are often useful and often necessary, and are easy to fit • Statistical elimination, Seq and Adj SS, plug-in parts • Two variables may duplicate each others’ information (right and left legs)... • ... or they may unmask it (poets’ dates) Next week: Designing experiments Read Chapter 5
