(a) A conditional plot of Price versus Age given the level of Bidders was created using coplot.
This plot suggests that Age and Bidders interact.
i. What is meant by the statement “Age and Bidders interact”.
ii. Explain what feature of the conditional plot indicates that there is an interaction
between Age and Bidders (your explanation should clearly identify how the plot would
be different if the two variables did not interact).

- The Stat2Data package in R contains a data set that records the prices of horses advertised for
sale on the internet. The data was collected by a group of students from California Polytechnic
State University. The information they collected for each horse included:
Price – Price in US dollars.
Age – Age of the horse in years.
Height – Height of the horse in hands.
Sex – f=female and m=male.
This data was used to create a data frame horse.df in R.

- An advertisement for diamonds was included in the February 18, 2000 edition of The Business
Times. This advertisement gave the following characteristics for 308 diamonds:
price Price in Singapore dollars.
carats Size measured in carats.
colour Colour rating on the GIA colour scale which goes from D (colourless) through Z (light
colour). The diamonds listed all had ratings of D, E, F, G, H or I.
clarity Clarity rating on the GIA clarity scale. The diamonds listed all had ratings of IF
(internally flawless), VVS1, VVS2, VS1 or VS2. VS1 and VS2 indicate very slightly
flawed diamonds whereas VVS1 and VVS2 indicate very very slightly flawed diamonds.
For VS1 and VVS1 the flaw is only visible from the pavilion (bottom) and for VS2 and
VVS2 the flaw is only visible from the crown (top).
cert The certification agency: Gemmological Institute of America (GIA), International Gem-
mological Institute (IGI) or Hoge Raad Voor Diamant (HRD).
This data was read into a data frame named diamond.df in R and the following output
obtained:

(a) The diamond data was used to construct a regression model that relates the price of
a diamond to the remaining characteristics. The following set of diagnostic plots was
obtained for the linear model:
diamond1.lm<-lm(price~carats+colour+clarity+cert,data=https://www.it610.com/article/diamond.df)
plot(diamond1.lm) - 2000 6000 10000
Based on these plots discuss how well this model fits the data. Give reasons for any
conclusions you reach. (5 marks)
(b) It was decided to modify the regression model by using
√
price as the response. Consider
the following output:
diamond2.lm<-lm(price^.5~carats+colour+clarity+cert,data=https://www.it610.com/article/diamond.df)
new.df=data.frame(carats=1, colour = "F", clarity="VS2", cert="HRD")

fit lwr upr - 98.00119 97.06094 98.94144
predict(diamond2.lm,new.df,interval = "prediction")
fit lwr upr - 98.00119 93.27767 102.7247
i. Use this output to find a 95% confidence interval and a 95% prediction interval for
the price of a 1 carat diamond certified by HRD that has colour “F” and clarity
“VS2”.
ii. In the context of this example, clearly explain why the prediction interval is wider
than the confidence interval. (5 marks)
(c) The factor cert was included in the model since it was thought that the reputation of
the certification agency (GIA, IGI or HRD) may have an impact on price. Consider using
the anova function to evaluate the relevance of cert in the model using an F-test:

Consider the coefficients for the four indicator (dummy) variables used for the factor
clarity.
i. What does the estimated coefficient for clarityVS1 (-8.45895) represent in terms of
the levels of clarity?
ii. What is the estimated difference in the expected
√
price for very very slightly flawed
diamonds where the flaw is only visible from the pavilion (VVS1) and where the flaw
is only visible from the crown (VVS2)?
iii. Suppose we want to formally test (i.e. find a p-value) the hypothesis that there is
no difference in the average price of VVS1 and VVS2 diamonds (given that all other
characteristics are the same). Suggest a simple method of adjusting the regression
model so that the required p-value is calculated for us. (5 marks) - Sahoo and H.S. Pandalai (Natural Resources Research, vol. 8, 1999) used logistic regression
to predict the probability of a gold deposit being present based the concentrations of Arsenic
(As) and Antimony (Sb) in ground water samples. Ground water samples were taken from a
total of 64 sites – of these, 28 had a gold deposit present. The concentrations of As and Sb
in the samples were measured as parts per million (ppm).

i. Which points are identified as being usual by these plots? For each of these points
describe what makes it unusual. Note that using HMD and deviance changes as
diagnostics were not covered this semester so you can ignore those two plots and
just look at the Cook’s distance plot.
ii. Briefly describe how you would further investigate the unusual points you identified.

(d) Suppose the fitted model is to be used to predict the presence of gold deposits for other
sites (it is not known whether gold is present at these sites). A gold deposit is predicted to
be present if the estimated probability is more than one half and is otherwise predicted to
be absent. The following table summarizes the performance of this prediction procedure
when it is applied to the 64 observations in the data set.

i. Based on this table, estimate the sensitivity and the specificity for this prediction
model. Explain why these estimates are too optimistic.
ii. Suggest a different method for estimating the sensitivity and specificity that still
uses the original data but should give more realistic estimates.
(5 marks) - The data for this question come from an ecological study conducted by Dr Rick Linhurst
(1979, PhD thesis, North Carolina State). The study focussed on the relationship between
the biomass (weight per unit area) of spartina (a type of grass found in coastal salt marshes)
and the properties of the soil at different sites in the Cape Fear estuary of North Carolina.
Data was collected from three different locations: Oak Island (OI), Smith Island (SI) and
Snow’s Marsh (SM). At each location, there were areas where the spartina vegetation was
short (SHRT), other areas where it was tall (TALL) and still other areas where it had died
and re-vegetated (DVEG). For each combination of location and vegetation type, five sites
were selected and the biomass of spartina was measured.
Consider the following conditional plot for this data.
(a) Consider creating a regression model that relates biomass (BIO) to location (Loc) and
vegetation type (Type). The plot on the previous page indicates that it may be appro-
priate to
i. use log(BIO) as the response and
ii. include the Loc:Type interaction in the model.
Explain how the plot indicates that each of these actions may be appropriate. [4 marks]
(b) Consider a regression model that uses the logged biomass (BIO) as the response and
vegetation type (Type) and location (Loc) as regressors.

Use this model to estimate each of the following:
i. the biomass of spartina for short vegetation at Smith Island.
ii. the difference in the biomass of spartina between re-vegetated sites (DVEG) at Snow’s
Marsh and at Oak Island.
iii. the difference in the biomass of spartina short vegetation and tall vegetation at Smith
Island. [6 marks]
(c) Recall that for each combination of location and vegetation type, five sites were selected
and the biomass of spartina was measured. Characteristics of the soil were also measured
at each site. One of these characteristics was the pH which indicates the acidity or
alkalinity of the soil. The following search procedure was used to see whether it would
be useful to include pH (or interactions involving pH) in the model.

- The number of different mussel species was recorded in 41 rivers along the east coast of the
USA. Nine possible explanatory variables were recorded and described as follows:
area - the area of drainage basin.
sAC, sAP, sSL, sSV - the number of intermediate rivers to 4 major species-source river
systems: Alabama-Coosa (sAC), Apalachicola (sAP) St. Lawrence (sSL), and Savannah
(sSV).
nitrate - nitrate concentration.
hy - hydronium ion concentration.
solres the amount of solid residue present in the water.
logarea - it was thought that taking the log of the area might improve the model fit so this
was also included as a potential regressor.

(a) Consider the two searches that were performed.
i. Briefly describe the procedure used for the first search (step1.glm).
ii. How does the second search differ from the first search?
iii. Consider the models step1.glm and step2.glm found by the two searches. Is either
model clearly better than the other one? Explain your answer. (5 marks)
(b) Consider the impact of hydronium concentration (hy) on the mean number of mussel
species found in a river.
i. Based on the output for model step1.glm, explain the impact on the mean number
of mussel species if the hydronium concentration is increased by 1 unit (and all
remaining explanatory variables are fixed).
ii. Use the following output to produce a 95% confidence interval for your estimate of
this impact.

iii. Estimate the impact of increasing hydronium concentration by 3 units on the mean
number of mussel species found in a river. (6 marks)
(c) If a goodness of fit test is performed for model step1.glm, the p-value is equal to 0.19.
Explain how the p-value is calculated. What do you conclude about model step1.glm
from this test? (4 marks)
(d) Consider the following set of diagnostic plots for model step1.glm
Based on these plots describe any concerns or issues you have with the fitted model.
ii. Briefly explain how you would address each of the concerns/issues you have identi-
