Lack of fit test

juvelva

Hi all JMPers,

Does anyone know what saturated model is used in the LACK OF FIT test? More specifically, when running Fit Model, say by Standard Least Squares, I get the table of Lack Of Fit as following:

.

My understanding is that:

1) p-value gives me that the model can be improved by adding interaction terms,

2) Max RSq is obtained by the saturated model.

Is my understanding correct? If so, is there a way I can get the saturated model in JMP?

Thank you all!

Yes, your understating is correct.

If so, is there a way I can get the saturated model in JMP?

Yes, you can run such model with some data prep.

(Caution-a saturated model is over-parameterized to the point that it is essentially interpolating the data. It is not a sound modeling practice.) 

(1) The screenshot shows a linear regression fit to predict HEIGHT with SEX and WEIGHT as predictors. Although this main effect model doesn't appears to be under-fit, Max R Sq indicates a saturated model would achieve R Sq at 0.8872.

(2) To do this Combine predictor variables to form a grouping variable, SEX_WEIGHT, so that I can assigns a parameter to each unique combination of the predictors. Use the Combine Columns to get it

(3) Refit the model using SEX_WEIGHT as the predictor . As shown, R Square is indeed 0.8872. There are 32 parameter estimates (plus intercept)  in the model.

Big Class_.jmp
