The mathematical meaning of composing a quadratic equation from two linear regression equations

22 Views Asked by At

There are alpha and beta coefficients from two linear regression equations (Equation1, Equation2). Next, the quadratic equation $Ax^2 + Bx + C$ is compiled, where:

  • A = Equation1.Alpha * Equation2.Alpha
  • B = (Equation1.Alpha * Equation2.Beta) + (Equation1.Beta * Equation2.Alpha)
  • C = Equation1.Beta * Equation2.Beta

Please tell me: what is the mathematical sense in drawing up this quadratic equation? The point of intersection of the linear regression lines is found in another way. Unfortunately, examining the values ​​of the alpha (slope) and beta (intersection) coefficients did not clarify the situation either.
