1. Describe the null hypotheses to which the p-values given in Table 3.4
|
||
correspond. Explain what conclusions you can draw based on these
|
||
p-values. Your explanation should be phrased in terms of sales , TV ,
|
||
radio , and newspaper , rather than in terms of the coefficients of the
|
||
linear model.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Suppose we have a data set with five predictors, X 1 = GPA, X 2 = IQ,
|
||
X 3 = Gender (1 for Female and 0 for Male), X 4 = Interaction between
|
||
GPA and IQ, and X 5 = Interaction between GPA and Gender. The
|
||
response is starting salary after graduation (in thousands of dollars).
|
||
Suppose we use least squares to fit the model, and get β 0 = 50, β 1 =
|
||
20, β 2 = 0.07, β 3 = 35, β 4 = 0.01, β 5 = −10.
|
||
|
||
(a) Which answer is correct, and why?
|
||
i. For a fixed value of IQ and GPA, males earn more on average
|
||
than females.
|
||
|
||
ii. For a fixed value of IQ and GPA, females earn more on
|
||
average than males.
|
||
|
||
iii. For a fixed value of IQ and GPA, males earn more on average
|
||
than females provided that the GPA is high enough.
|
||
|
||
iv. For a fixed value of IQ and GPA, females earn more on
|
||
average than males provided that the GPA is high enough.
|
||
|
||
(b) Predict the salary of a female with IQ of 110 and a GPA of 4.0.
|
||
|
||
(c) True or false: Since the coefficient for the GPA/IQ interaction
|
||
term is very small, there is very little evidence of an interaction
|
||
effect. Justify your answer.
|
||
|
||
|
||

4. I collect a set of data (n = 100 observations) containing a single
|
||
predictor and a quantitative response. I then fit a linear regression
|
||
model to the data, as well as a separate cubic regression, i.e. Y =
|
||
β 0 + β 1 X + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + .
|
||
|
||
(a) Suppose that the true relationship between X and Y is linear,
|
||
i.e. Y = β 0 + β 1 X + . Consider the training residual sum of
|
||
squares (RSS) for the linear regression, and also the training
|
||
RSS for the cubic regression. Would we expect one to be lower
|
||
than the other, would we expect them to be the same, or is there
|
||
not enough information to tell? Justify your answer.
|
||
|
||
(b) Answer (a) using test rather than training RSS.
|
||
|
||
(c) Suppose that the true relationship between X and Y is not linear,
|
||
but we don’t know how far it is from linear. Consider the training
|
||
RSS for the linear regression, and also the training RSS for the
|
||
cubic regression. Would we expect one to be lower than the
|
||
other, would we expect them to be the same, or is there not
|
||
enough information to tell? Justify your answer.
|
||
(d) Answer (c) using test rather than training RSS. |
