- Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by P(t)=c1+aebt , such that the initial population at time t=0 is P(0)=P0. Show algebraically that cP(t)P(t)=cP0P0ebt .arrow_forward2. Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

- In a typical multiple linear regression model where x1 and x2 are non-random regressors, the expected value of the response variable y given x1 and x2 is denoted by E(y | 2,, X2). Build a multiple linear regression model for E (y | *,, *2) such that the value of E(y | x1, X2) may change as the value of x2 changes but the change in the value of E(y | X1, X2) may differ in the value of x1 . How can such a potential difference be tested and estimated statistically?arrow_forwarda. In an IV regression model with one endogenous regressor, X, and two instruments, Z1 and Z2, the value of the J-statistic is J = 18.2. This suggests that E(ui |Z1i, Z2i) = 0. Is it true or false? b. Suppose that a true population IV regression model contains one endogenous regressor, X, one exogenous regressor, W, and one instrument, Z. Assume that data on W are not available and the model is estimated omitting W from the regression. Suppose that Z and W are uncorrelated. Then the IV estimator is inconsistent. Is it true or false?arrow_forwardAnswer part a of the question below. Show all work. When diagnosing a disease (genetically) in a sample of patients.we let X ∈ {0, 1} be a random variable that is binary where X = 1 reflects disease presense, and X = 0 reflects absense of the disease. We are conducting a blood test that returns some continuous marker. A continuous variable expressing this marker is −∞ < Y < ∞. We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. Suppose p = .5. Find an expression for P(X = 1 | y) only in terms of fY|X(y | X = 1) and fY|X(y | X = 0), where fY |X represents the conditional normal density given above evaluated at some X = x.arrow_forward
- Answer part a of the question below. Show all work. When diagnosing a disease (genetically) in a sample of patients.we let X ∈ {0, 1} be a random variable that is binary where X = 1 reflects disease presense, and X = 0 reflects absense of the disease. We are conducting a blood test that returns some continuous marker. A continuous variable expressing this marker is −∞ < Y < ∞. We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. For an event with probability p, the odds of the event is defined as p/1−p. With a higher odds, an event is more likely. With the odds of 1 indicates the event is as likely to occur as not likely. i.e. we are maximally uncertain about the status of the diseae. Find the conditional odds of disease given Y ,P(X=1|y)/(1−P (X=1|y)). What is the odds of disease if µ1 = µ0?What is the interpretation behind this result?arrow_forward6B A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm3) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal.
