The table below shows the parameters for four multiple linear regression bridge deterioration models. The full model has age as continuous independent variable, traffic (Average Daily Traffic (ADT)) and bridge design as categorical variables. The bridge design is expressed as codes “H’ or “HS” for a single-unit truck and a tractor pulling a semitrailer respectively. The numeric suffix represents the gross weight in tons for H truck or weight on the first two axle sets of the HS truck. For example, H_10 denotes a truck with a gross work of 10 tons. The table also contains the following model validation indicators: adjusted r-squared, Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC). Write the multiple regression equation for each of the four models and comment on the accuracy of prediction of bridge deterioration of each model.
