- In a typical multiple linear regression model where x1 and x2 are non-random regressors, the expected value of the response variable y given x1 and x2 is denoted by E(y | 2,, X2). Build a multiple linear regression model for E (y | *,, *2) such that the value of E(y | x1, X2) may change as the value of x2 changes but the change in the value of E(y | X1, X2) may differ in the value of x1 .
