We discussed about linear models (in the parameters) with quadratic and interaction terms. We the focused on different types of tests for functional form (such as RESET, Mizon and Richard's test and Davidson and MacKinnon test). We the moved to discuss the problem of heteroskedasticity.

We introduced the Chow test to test for differences between groups. We also discussed the linear probability model (advantages and disadvantages). We then started to discuss about model linear in parameters and/or variables, how to estimate them. We ended with the interpretation related to variables that enter both linearly and quadratically in the model (linear in parameters).

We discussed about including interaction terms in the multiple linear regression model, in particular interaction of two dummy variables and interaction of a dummy variable with a continuous random variable.
