Define both x and y in all problems. x is the cause, and y is the effect. This is the most important step when doing linear regression, otherwise, all the remanding parts will be wrong.
In a multiple regression problem involving two independent variables, if b1 is computed to be +2.0, it means that
the relationship between X1 and Y is significant
the estimated mean of Y increases by 2 units for each increase of 1 unit of X1, holding X2 constant.
the estimated mean of Y increases by 2 units for each increase of 1 unit of X1, without regard to X2
the estimated mean of Y is 2 when X1 equals zero.
Define both x and y in all problems. x is the cause, and y is the effect. This is the most important step when doing linear regression, otherwise, all the remanding parts will be wrong.
A ridiculous study was conducted to see how the weights of lemons imported from Mexico (in metric tons)influences the US car crash fatality rates per 100,000population.
y = 16.5 –0.00282x r = -0.959
a. According to the equation if 1,200 metric tons of lemons were imported from Mexico, what would the fatality rate be?
b. What does the slope mean in terms of the situation?
c. What does the y-intercept mean in terms of the situation?
d. What does the coefficient of determination mean in terms of the situation? ( Hint: You have to square the correlation coefficient, r, to get the coefficient of determination).

- Suppose that we take a data set, divide it into equally-sized training and test sets, and then try out two different classification procedures. First we use logistic regression and get an error rate of 20% on the training data and 30% on the test data. Next we use 1-nearest neighbors (i.e. K = 1) and get an average error rate (averaged over both test and training data sets) of 18%. Based on these results, which method should we prefer to use for classification of new observations? Why?arrow_forwardSuppose there is 1 dependent variable (dissolved oxygen, Y) and 3 independent variables (water temp X1, depth X2, and hardness of water X3). Below is the result of the multiple linear regression.Which of the following statements is TRUE? Both intercept and water temperature are the significant predictors of the amount of dissolved oxygen. If all other predictor variables are held constant, the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases on the average by 0.15 for every 1 unit increase in depth. Hardness is also a significant predictor of the amount of dissolved oxygen since its coefficient -0.04 is less than 0.05. The intercept has strong linear relationship with the amount of dissolved oxygen.arrow_forwardConsider the linear regression model: log{wage)-B1+B2 MATH+B3 ARABIC +e where wage is the hourly wage and MATH is you score in Math courses and ARABIC is your score in Arabic courses.
