The Stimulus Response Model describes a Statistical Unit as making a quantitative response to a quantitative stimulus administered by the researcher. The object of this kind of research is to establish a mathematical function that describes the relation.
- Response = function(Stimulus)
The most common form assumed for such functions is linear, thus we expect to see a relationship like
- Response = alpha + beta * Stimulus
[[[Statistical Theory]] for Linear Models has been well developed for more than fifty years and a standard form of analysis called Linear Regression has been developed.
