I want to run a regression with a squared variable. My original regression formula was:

lm(formula = ed ~ dist + female + bytest + tuition + 
             black + hispanic + incomehi + ownhome + 
             dadcoll + momcoll + cue80 + stwmfg80, 
             data = CollegeDistance)

I want to square the dist variable to add it into my formula. Any idea on how to do this?

Do you want to simply square it or square it within the formula? – NelsonGon Dec 09 '18 at 06:27
