Chapter 3.2, Problem 8E

Use the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree 3 or less and four-digit chopping arithmetic to approximate cos 0.750 using the following values. Find an error bound for the approximation. cos 0.698 = 0.7661 cos 0.733 = 0.7432 cos 0.768 = 0.7193 cos 0.803 = 0.6946

The actual value of cos 0.750 is 0.7317 (to four decimal places). Explain the discrepancy between the actual error and the error bound.

(c) Because logistic regression predicts probabilities of outcomes, observations used to build a logistic regression model need not be independent. A. false: all observations must be independent B. true C. false: only observations with the same outcome need to be independent I ANSWERED: A. false: all observations must be independent.  (This was marked wrong but I have no idea why. Isn't this a basic assumption of logistic regression)

Spam filters are built on principles similar to those used in logistic regression. We fit a probability that each message is spam or not spam. We have several variables for each email. Here are a few: to_multiple=1 if there are multiple recipients, winner=1 if the word 'winner' appears in the subject line, format=1 if the email is poorly formatted, re_subj=1 if "re" appears in the subject line. A logistic model was fit to a dataset with the following output:   Estimate SE Z Pr(>|Z|) (Intercept) -0.8161 0.086 -9.4895 0 to_multiple -2.5651 0.3052 -8.4047 0 winner 1.5801 0.3156 5.0067 0 format -0.1528 0.1136 -1.3451 0.1786 re_subj -2.8401 0.363 -7.824 0 (a) Write down the model using the coefficients from the model fit.log_odds(spam) = -0.8161 + -2.5651 + to_multiple  + 1.5801 winner + -0.1528 format + -2.8401 re_subj(b) Suppose we have an observation where to_multiple=0, winner=1, format=0, and re_subj=0. What is the predicted probability that this message is spam?…
