✦ Synopsis

We discuss regression modeling of a physiological parameter affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Such parameter commonly exists in our daily life (e.g., the sleeping quality of human beings or other animals). An additive regression model is suggested which consists of two parts. The first part is for explaining the effect of intrinsic factors and the second part is for describing the effect of extrinsic factors. The fitted model is proved to be statistically consistent. Hypothesis tests about the model coefficients are also discussed. Some simulation results are presented and the modeling procedure is applied to a rat sleep data set.

At the stage of screening of new sun protection formulations, quick and inexpensive methods for estimation of the ultraviolet (UV) screening performance are highly desirable. It has been shown recently that apart from measurements of sun protection factors in vitro, calculations using a calibrated s
