The assignment consists of four linear scenarios. They are given two pairs of data for each problem and must write an equation in slope-intercept form. The goal of this assignment is to give the students a chance to practice finding equations of lines on their own. This is a direct application of Math Practice 4.
Linear System Modeling Linear systems are simpler than non-linear systems, and are applied in signal processing, telecommunication and automatic control. Linear System Models are basically the systems based on a linear operator. A cat and mouse chase can be modelled using this, by adjusting the speeds of the mouse and cat.
Multiple Linear Regression Model We consider the problem of regression when the study variable depends on more than one explanatory or independent variables, called a multiple linear regression model. This model generalizes the simple linear regression in two ways. It allows the mean function E()y to depend on more than one explanatory variables.
Chapter 9 Dynamic linear models. Dynamic linear models (DLMs) are a type of linear regression model, wherein the parameters are treated as time-varying rather than static. DLMs are used commonly in econometrics, but have received less attention in the ecological literature (c.f. Lamon, Carpenter, and Stow 1998; Scheuerell and Williams 2005).
