Presentation Transcript

  1. This is a scatterplot of men’s age at first marriage against year at every census from 1890 to 1940. Comment on this scatterplot.

  2. A regression of this data gives: • R-squared = 92.6% • s =0.2417 • Variable Coefficient • Intercept 25.7 • Year -0.04 • What does all of this information tell us?

  3. Use the model to predict the median age for first marriage in the year 2000. What is the name of the word that describes using data to “predict” values that are “far off” ?

  4. Extrapolation is always dangerous!

  5. FOXTROT Cartoon

  6. When describing unusual points: High Leverage Points: • A data point can be unusual if the x value is far from the mean of the x-values.

  7. Influential Points are a kind of high leverage pointOmitting it from the analysis gives a very different modelInfluence depends on both leverage and its residual

  8. Example #1

  9. Example #1 • There is the case with moderate leverage but with a very large residual (can be influential)

  10. Example #2

  11. Example #2 • There is the case with high leverage whose y-value sits right on the line of fit (this is not influential – it does not change the slope but does change the R2.

  12. EXAMPLE #3 • There is also the case of extreme leverage where a point pulls the line right to it. This is highly influential but it’s residual is small.

  13. Example #3

  14. Example #4

  15. Regression Applet • http://www.stat.sc.edu/~west/javahtml/Regression.html • Experiment with adding additional points to a scatterplot and seeing how the regression line changes.

  16. COMPUTER LAB EXPLORATION1)      REGRESSION BY EYEGo to: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/stat_sim/reg_by_eye/index.html and read the instructions on that page.  Really read them before you begin.  Click begin on the left side of the page and start guessing! 2)      EXPLORING INFLUENTIAL & HIGH LEVERAGE POINTSGo to http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L456 and read the instructions.  Explore the effect of outliers (influential and leverage points) on the correlation coefficient and the line of least squares 3)      RESIDUAL PLOTSGo to: http://www.math.csusb.edu/faculty/stanton/m262/regress/regress.html and read the directions.  Then start plotting points and you will see the line of least squares forming as well as the residual plots

  17. Regression towards the Mean

  18. This is a closed wallet multiple choice test. If you are not sure of an answer, guess. Write your answers somewhere in your notebook or on a piece of scrap paper. MONEY TEST • On the back of a nickel is: (a) Monticello • The Jefferson Memorial II. On the back of a $2 bill is • Signers of the Declaration • Independence Hall III. On the front of a $500 bill is • Madison • McKinley

  19. Grade yourself (out of 3) MONEY TEST • On the back of a nickel is: (a) Monticello • The Jefferson Memorial II. On the back of a $2 bill is • Signers of the Declaration • Independence Hall III. On the front of a $500 bill is • Madison • McKinley

  20. Let’s record our results • Give us the number correct (out of 3) • My score was 1 / 3

  21. MONEY MAKE-UP TEST • This is a closed wallet, multiple choice test. If you’re not sure of an answer, take your best guess. • On the front of a $20 bill is (a) Jefferson (b) Jackson II. On a dollar bill, Washington is looking to his: (a) left (b) right • On the front of a $1000 bill is: (a) Cleveland (b) Wilson

  22. Give yourself a grade on the make up • On the front of a $20 bill is (a) Jefferson (b) Jackson II. On a dollar bill, Washington is looking to his: (a) left (b) right • On the front of a $1000 bill is: (a) Cleveland (b) Wilson

  23. Let’s record our make-up exam grades next to our old exams.

  24. CALCULATE • What’s the average score on the first test for the “remedial” students (those that missed two or three questions)? • What was the average score on the second test for the remedial students? • What was the average score for the “star students” (those that got all three right) on the make-up test?

  25. The Regression Effect / Regression towards the Mean • Explain why the scores of the “remedial” students tended to go up and the scores of the “star” students tended to go down?
