Summer MGT 6203 MID EXAM PART2 – CODING Week 1 Use the inbuilt dataset ‘longley’ for questions 1 and 2. Q1) Fit a linear regression model with ‘Employed’ as the response variable and al... l other variables (except ‘Year’) as predictors. What are the significant predictors at 10% significance level? A. GNP B. GNP, Armed.Forces C. GNP, Unemployed, Population D. None of the predictors are significant at 10% significance level Solution: model1 = lm(Employed~.-Year, data = longley) summary(model1) ## ## Call: ## lm(formula = Employed ~ . - Year, data = longley) ## ## Residuals: ## Min 1Q Median 3Q Max ## -0.55324 -0.36478 0.06106 0.20550 0.93359 ## ## Coefficients: ## Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) ## (Intercept) 92.461308 35.169248 2.629 0.0252 * ## GNP.deflator -0.048463 0.132248 -0.366 0.7217 ## GNP 0.072004 0.031734 2.269 0.0467 * ## Unemployed -0.004039 0.004385 -0.921 0.3788 ## Armed.Forces -0.005605 0.002838 -1.975 0.0765 . ## Population -0.403509 0.330264 -1.222 0.2498 ## --- ## Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1 ## ## Residual standard error: 0.4832 on 10 degrees of freedom ## Multiple R-squared: 0.9874, Adjusted R-squared: 0.9811 ## F-statistic: 156.4 on 5 and 10 DF, p-value: 3.699e-09 From the p-value, we can see that GNP and Armed.Forces are significant at 10% significance level. Q2) What can you say about multicollinearity in this model? a. The model does not exhibit multicollinearity b. The model exhibits multicollinearity due to high correlation between GNP, Armed.Forces c. The model exhibits multicollinearity due to high correlation between GNP, GNP.deflator and population d. The model exhibits multicollinearity due to high correlation between GNP.deflator, Unemployed Solution: vif(model1) ## GNP.deflator GNP Unemployed Armed.Forces Population ## 130.829201 639.049777 10.786858 2.505775 339.011693 Yes, looking at the VIF table, we can see that GNP, GNP deflator and population have high VIF values indicating multicollinearity issue. We may also look at the correlation matrix to come to the same conclusion. cor(longley[,-6]) ## GNP.deflator GNP Unemployed Armed.Forces Population ## GNP.deflator 1.0000000 0.9915892 0.6206334 0.4647442 0.9791634 ## GNP 0.9915892 1.0000000 0.6042609 0.4464368 0.9910901 ## Unemployed 0.6206334 0.6042609 1.0000000 -0.1774206 0.6865515 ## Armed.Forces 0.4647442 0.4464368 -0.1774206 1.0000000 0.3644163 ## Population 0.9791634 0.9910901 0.6865515 0.3644163 1.0000000 ## Employed 0.9708985 0.9835516 0.5024981 0.4573074 0.9603906 ## Employed ## GNP.deflator 0.9708985 ## GNP 0.9835516 ## Unemployed 0.5024981 ## Armed.Forces 0.4573074 ## Population 0.9603906 ## Employed 1.0000000 We can see that GNP, GNP deflator and population are highly correlated causing multicollinearity issue. Week 2 Q3) The trees dataset contains the girth (diameter), height, and volume for black cherry trees. Download the dataset in R using the command “data(trees)”. Create two Linear-Linear models. The first model should use girth to predict volume, and the second model should use height to predict volume. What is the Adjusted R-Squared for each model. A. 0.9471, 0.4334 B. 0.8243, 0.3265 C. 0.9331, 0.3358 D. 0.9798, 0.3292 Solution: Q4) Using girth as the independent variable and volume as the dependent variable, which of the following models has the W [Show More]
