Infrared Reflectance in Lubricants Analysis

An experiment was conducted to study the infrared reflectance spectra properties of a lubricant using different band frequencies and film thicknesses. A multiple linear regression model was estimated to model the effect of these two independent variables (band frequency and film thickness) on the dependent variable (optical density). The model was used to analyze the significance of the independent variables, predict optical density values, and determine how much variance is explained by the model versus other unknown factors.

1.

In Applied Spectroscopy, the infrared reflectance


spectra properties of a viscous liquid used in the
electronics industry as a lubricant were studied.
The designed experiment consisted of the effect
Of band frequency, x1, and the film thickness, x2, on
optical density y using a Perkin-Elmer Model 621
infrared spectrometer.
The data are as follows:
Estimate the multiple linear regression equation model
for this data.

a. Is the MLR model significant? On what basis?


b. Does x2 film thickness contribute significantly on the
value of Y? is the relation between Y and x2 inverse?
Prove your answer by citing the value of pertinent
statistics.
c. How much percentage does the combined effect of
both independent variables contribute to the value of
y? How much percentage? Does the other factors
which were not included in the model contribute to the
value of the optical density?
d. Suppose the value of x1 = 1000 and x2 = 1.00, predict a
point estimate for the value of y.
