Engineers concerned about a tower's stability have done extensive studies of its increasing tilt. Measurements of the lean of the tower over time provide much useful information. The following table gives measurements for the years 1975 to 1987. The variable "lean" represents the difference between where a point on the tower would be if the tower were straight and where it actually is. The data are coded as tenths of a millimeter in excess of 2.9 meters, so that the 1975 lean, which was 2.9647 meters, appears in the table as 647. Only the last two digits of the year were entered into the computer. 80 83 86 75 76 77 78 647 649 660 672 79 81 82 84 85 678 693 701 703 717 722 729 747 (a) Plot the data.

Table 4.18 shows estimated effects for a fitted logistic regression model with squamous cell esophageal cancer (1 = yes, 0 = no) as the response variable Y. Smoking status (S) equals 1 for at least one pack per day and 0 other- wise, alcohol consumption (A) equals the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed per day, and race (R) equals 1 for blacks and 0 for whites. A. To describe the race-by-smoking interaction, construct the prediction equation when R = 1 and again when R = 0. Find the fitted YS conditional odds ratio for each case. Similarly, construct the prediction equation when S = 1 and again when S = 0. Find the fitted YR conditional odds ratio for each case. Note that, for each association, the coefficient of the cross-product term is the difference between the log odds ratios at the two fixed levels for the other variable. B. In Table 4.18, explain what the coefficients of R and S represent, for the coding as given above. What hypotheses do the P -values refer to for…
