The following raw data were collected by a health an analyst from 50 smokers. It represents Risk Index (R.I.) (measured as concentration ratio of certain compounds in the blood) which is used as a strong indicator for getting a cardiovascular (CV) disease. We would like to study the effect of each of the three factors (age, mass, and No. of cigarettes) on the R.I. : Answer the following: 1. Classify the data into 3 groups according to age: Young: age < 35, Middle aged: between 36 and 59, and Old: age > 60. Then study if the Risk Index is affected by age class. 2. Classify the data into 3 groups according to body mass: regular mass <70, fat mass between 71 and 99, and obese mass above 100. Then study if the mass has an influence on the R.I. 3. Produce a linear mathematical model that can predict the R.I. based on age, mass and number of cigarettes per day. Use a confidence level of 99%. 4. Comment on your linear model. Is there an evidence that a nonlinear model shall be better? Show the evidence and comment on it. 5. Do a nonlinear fitting for the data using the following equation R.I. = co + c1*Age + c2*Mass+c3*Cig^C4 6. Compare the predicted and measured R.I. values for both linear and nonlinear fitting.

Question

The following raw data were collected by a health an analyst from 50 smokers. It represents Risk Index (R.I.) (measured as concentration ratio of certain compounds in the blood) which is used as a strong indicator for getting a cardiovascular (CV) disease.

We would like to study the effect of each of the three factors (age, mass, and No. of cigarettes) on the R.I. :

Answer the following:

1. Classify the data into 3 groups according to age: Young: age < 35, Middle aged: between 36 and 59, and Old: age > 60.

Then study if the Risk Index is affected by age class.

2. Classify the data into 3 groups according to body mass: regular mass <70, fat mass between 71 and 99, and obese mass above 100. Then study if the mass has an influence on the R.I.

3. Produce a linear mathematical model that can predict the R.I. based on age, mass and number of cigarettes per day. Use a confidence level of 99%.

4. Comment on your linear model. Is there an evidence that a nonlinear model shall be better? Show the evidence and comment on it.

5. Do a nonlinear fitting for the data using the following equation

R.I. = co + c1*Age + c2*Mass+c3*Cig^C4

6. Compare the predicted and measured R.I. values for both linear and nonlinear fitting. Which fitting is better? Suggest a measure that can tell you quantitatively which fitting is better.
