When conducting a binary regression with a skewed predictor, it is often easiest to assess the need for x and log(x) by including them both in the model so that their relative contributions can be assessed directly." Show that indeed the log odds are a function of x and log(x) for the gamma distribution.

Look at the following regression table where the dependent variable is the demand for illegal massage services in a city in the United States. Specifically, the dependent variable is the number of customers per hour (Models 1 and 2) or per day (Models 3 and 4). (a) Explain why the coefficient for Population/1,000 in Model 2 is very different from the one in Model 4?(b) Can you reject H0 in Model 1 if H0 : βP opulation/1,000 = 0.01, H1 : βPopulation/1,000 6= 0.01, and α = 0.01?
Where we observe multicollinearity in a multiple regression analysis, two of our independent variables, x-1 and x-4, are so highly correlated they’re almost indistinguishable with respect to their relationship with our dependent (y) variable. Why is that a problem?
After studying the milk yields of a randomly selected sample of 900 cows, researchers felt that the presence of white spots (WS;) on a cow's body led to a different level of milk production (MP;). The researchers estimate the OLS regression: where WS, is a binary variable of the form: WS₁ = MP = 5.36 +0.26 x WS₁, (2.23) (0.06) 1, if the th cow has white spots 0, if the th cow doesn't have white spots The 95% confidence interval for the coefficient ₁ is (₁). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) Based on this interval, we will the hypothesis P₁ = 0 at the 5% significance level. Which of the following statements describes the way in which the coefficient of the indicator variable could be interpreted in this case? O A. The coefficient is the sum of the conditional expectation of the presence of white spots on a cow with respect to the average milk production. OB. The coefficient is the rate of change in the milk production due to a unit change in the number of cows with white…
If the R-squared for a regression model relating the outcome y to an explanatory variable x is 0.9. This implies that there is a positive linear relationship between y and x. True or false?
There may be an association between a country's birthrate and the life expectancy of its inhabitants. A report this past year, coming from a random sample of 20 countries, contained the following information: the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables number of births per one thousand people (denoted by x) and female life expectancy (denoted by y and measured in years) is y = 82.28 – 0.51 x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.35. Based on this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B,. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the…
Can gender, educational level, and age predict the odds that someone votes for a particular candidate in the election? Over 1500 voters were selected, and data were col-lected on the highest year of school completed, their age, and their gender. We wish to t a logistic regression model: log(1 p p ) = 0 + 1Age + 2Education + 3Gender, where p is the binomial probability that a person voted for candidate Johnson, and gender is coded as the indicator for female.

The US government is interested in understanding what predicts death rates. They have a set of data that includes the number of deaths in each state, the number of deaths resulting from vehicle accidents (VEHICLE), the number of people dying from diabetes (DIABETES), the number of deaths related to the flu (FLU) and the number of homicide deaths (HOMICIDE). Your run a regression to predict deaths and get the following output: At α = .10, which variable(s) is/are significant predictors of deaths?
Consider the logit regression log(odds(QualExam) = ßo + B, • ParEduc + B, • Awards. where QualExam is a binary variable that indicates passing the exam if equal to 1, and failing the exam if 0, ParEduc indicates the parents' education level, and Awards is a binary variable that indicates having experience of obtaining award(s) if equal to 1, and not having experience if 0. Given the parents' average education level unchanged, the odds ratio is expected to be _ for an individual with awards to pass the exam comparing to those without awards. For an individual without awards and the parents' education level of 4, the estimated probability of passing the exam is approximately_. ParEduc Awards Intercept -10.53 2.98 0.48 O A. 0.48; 80%.

A company studying the productivity of its employees on a new information system was interested in determingg if the age (X) of data entry opeertors influenced the number of completed entries made per hour (Y). The regression equation is y = 14.374 - 0.145x Suppose the acyual completed entries per hour for an operator who is 35 years old was 8. The residual is:
Logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression are used widely in medical and epidemiologic studies for analyzing the relationship between several risk factors and a time-related dichotomous response variable. Suppose we are studying the risk factors associated with mortality of Covid-19 patients admitted to hospitals in the Philippines. The response variable is whether or not the patient with Covid-19 died at the end of their hospitalization. Other variables recorded were: the time to death of the patient, sex, age, vaccinated or not vaccinated, presence of comorbidities, severity of Covid-19, variant of Covid-19, etc. In this study, would you prefer using the logistic regression or the Cox PH regression? Justify your answer. Site some of the advantages and disadvantages of preferring one method over the other. NOTE: other answer aside from the previous one on the tutor here in bartleby.

Consider a simple regression Y = B1 + B2 X + u. Suppose we found out that the variance of error term is changing with larger values of X (heteroscedasticity). Show how you overcome the problem of heteroscedasticity by using White’s heteroscedasticity consistent variances (only for variance of the slope estimate). Show and explain.
2. This question is about logistic regression. The outcome variable is success (1=success, 0=failure), and we have two groups of observations: group A and group B. a. Assume that on average, the odds of success is x for group A members. What is the average probability of success (p) for group A? Please write down p as a function of x. Given an x, is there a unique p? b. Assume that on average, the odds ratio for success of group A over group B is 2. The average probability of success for group A is pA and that the average probability of success for group B is pg. Is the set of Paand pg unique? c. The logistic regression of success ~ group (link=logit) returns a coefficient estimate of -1.3863 for the dummy variable group (1=group A, 0=group B). Interpret this coefficient estimate.
