Question:
GLMs normally use a hierarchical structure by which the presence of a higher-order term implies also including the lower-order terms. Explain why this is sensible, by showing that
(a) a model that includes an x2 explanatory variable but not x makes a strong assumption about where the maximum or minimum of E(y) occurs,
(b) a model that includes x1x2 but not x1 makes a strong assumption about the effect of x1 when x2 = 0.
