We present a blocked, quadratic regression model in this article. The model has a predictor variable which does not allow direct measurement but may be estimated from other observations. A solution method is outlined to find the estimated values of the model parameters and such a predictor variable. The model has substantial scope of application. Such an application, in business school ranking, is discussed.
