a) biasing the sample
b) recoding or transforming variables

Q:
The logistic regression model constrains the estimated probabilities to lie between 0 and 100.
Q:
We may use logistic regression when the dependent variable is a dummy variable, coded 0 or 1.
Q:
If the variance inflation factor is bigger than 10, the regression analysis might suffer from the problem of multicollinearity.
Q:
If each pair of independent variables is weakly correlated, there is no problem of multicollinearity.
Q:
If two or more independent variables are highly correlated, the regression analysis might suffer from the problem of singular collinearity.
Q:
Stepwise regression is one of the ways to prevent the problem of multicollinearity.
Q:
If a data set contains k independent variables, the "all possible regression" search procedure will determine 2k " 1 different models.
Q:
If a data set contains k independent variables, the "all possible regression" search procedure will determine 2k different models.
Q:
If a qualitative variable has c categories, then only (c - 1) dummy variables must be included in the regression model.
Q:
If a qualitative variable has c categories, then c dummy variables must be included in the regression model, one for each category.
Q:
A qualitative variable which represents categories such as geographical territories or job classifications may be included in a regression model by using indicator or dummy variables.
Q:
Qualitative data can be incorporated into linear regression models using indicator variables.
Q:
The interaction between two independent variables can be examined by including a new variable, which is the sum of the two independent variables, in the regression model.
Q:
If the effect of an independent variable (e.g., square footage) on a dependent variable (e.g., price) is affected by different ranges of values for a second independent variable (e.g., age ), the two independent variables are said to interact.
Q:
If a square-transformation is applied to a series of positive numbers, all greater than 1, the numerical values of the numbers in the transformed series will be smaller than the corresponding numbers in the original series.
Q:
A logarithmic transformation may be applied to both positive and negative numbers.
Q:
Recoding data cannot improve the fit of a regression model.
Q:
A linear regression model can be used to explore the possibility that a quadratic relationship may exist between two variables by suitably transforming the independent variable.
Q:
A linear regression model cannot be used to explore the possibility that a quadratic relationship may exist between two variables.
Q:

The regression model y = b0 + b1 x1 + b2 x2 + b3 x1x2 + e is a first order model.
Q:
Regression models in which the highest power of any predictor variable is 1 and in which there are no cross product terms are referred to as first-order models.
Q:
In the model y = b 0 + b 1x1 + b 2x2 + b 3x3 + e, y is the independent variable.
Q:
In the multiple regression model y = b 0 + b 1x1 + b 2x2 + b 3x3 + e, the b coefficients of the x variables are called partial regression coefficients.
