I have the following log-log regression equation (natural log was used):
ln(Sales Index) = B0 + B1 * ln(advertising spend) + B2 * (January) .... + e
where advertising spend is a continuous variable (is never zero) and January is a dummy variable. The Sales Index is never zero either.
I understand how to interpret the coefficient B1. Where I am getting stuck is in interpreting coefficient B2 (when January = 1). I've looked at the following questions for guidance:
Interpreting logarithmically transformed coefficients in linear regression
Interpretation of log transformed predictor
How to use index in a multiple regression
说当 1 月 = 1、B2 = 0.4 和 ln(Sales Index) = 0.35 时是否正确:
1) 首先,你需要取 exp(0.4) = 1.4918。
2) 这是 ln(Sales Index) 的乘数,所以 1.4918 * 0.35 意味着如果是 1 月,这会导致销售指数增加 52.21%(保持所有其他 x 变量不变)?
