Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 71SE
An ammonia bath is the one most widely used for depositing Pd-Ni alloy coatings. The article “Modelling of Palladium and Nickel in an Ammonia Bath in a Rotary Device” (Plating and Surface Finishing. 1997: 102-104) reported on an investigation into how bath-composition characteristics affect coating properties. Consider the following data on .x1 = Pd concentration
(g/dm3), x2 = Ni concentration (g/dm3)d, x3 = pH, x4 = temperature (oc), x5 = cathode current density (A/dm2), and y = palladium content (%) of the coating.
- a. Fit the first-order model with five predictors and assess its utility. Do all the predictors appear to be important?
- b. Fit the complete second-order model and assess its utility.
- c. Does the group of second-order predictors (interaction and quadratic) appear to provide more useful information about y than is contributed by the first-order predictors? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses.
- d. The authors of the cited article recommended the use of all five first-order predictors plus the additional predictor x6 = (pH)2. Fit this model. Do all six predictors appear to be important?
