Which of the following is true about retaining explanatory variables in a regression model?

Only the least fundamental explanatory variables should be retained in the model

Only the most fundamental explanatory variables should be retained in the model (correct)

The selection of explanatory variables does not affect the model

All explanatory variables should be retained in the model

When should indicator variables representing a qualitative predictor variable be kept together as a group in a regression model?

When a subset of indicator variables is better according to the criterion employed (correct)

When the qualitative variable is not significant

In a regression model, if second-order terms or interaction terms are present, what is the preferred order of including the terms?

First-order terms should be included after second-order terms

Interaction terms should be included before first-order terms

First-order terms should be included before second-order terms (correct)

Second-order terms should be included before first-order terms
