Multiple regression with dummy variables

 

How can I select intercept in multiple regression?

I want two lines to cross the Y axis in the (0,100) point.

 

 

Thanks

Re: Multiple regression with dummy variables

@Tohar  For some more detail re my previous post.  Notice that I regressed Y-100 on T and T*ARM with no intercept.

So, the final equation is Y-100 = B0*T +  B1*T*I(ARM=C) + B2*T*I(ARM=S), where I(ARM=C) = 1 if ARM=C, 0 otherwise. I(ARM=S) is defined similarly. So, B1 and B2 are deviations from the overall mean slope (B0). Defined this way, the slope for ARM C = B0+B1, and the slope for ARM S = B0+B2. And, to see the common intercept is 100, add 100 to both sides of the equation to get.

Y = 100 + B0*T +  B1*T*I(ARM=C) + B2*T*I(ARM=S).

Re: Multiple regression with dummy variables

Did you try the Group By command in the platform menu (red triangle) before using Fit Special and specifying a Y-intercept = 100?
