Answer:
a) Converting a, b and c to coded variables
X1 is defined for parameter a
X2 is defined for parameter b
X3 is defined for parameter c
[tex]y = f(X_i)[/tex]
[tex]y = f(X1,X2,X3)[/tex]
[tex]y = \beta 0 +\beta 1X1 + \beta 2X2 +\beta 3X3[/tex] + ε
b) Vector of steepest ascent can be written as the formula attached.
c) The parameter 'a' has most influence on the output 'y'
[tex]X1 = 2[(a - (amin + amax)/2) / (amax - amin)]\\X2 = 2[(b - (bmin + bmax)/2) / (bmax - bmin)]\\X3 = 2[(c - (cmin + cmax)/2) / (cmax - cmin)][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation is (b)
Table is (c), use the equation to in (c) above to fill the table from A - AD
