Chapter 10 Re-expression Day 1
What does a “Good” residual plot look like?What does it mean?
Goals of Re-Expression • Make the distribution more symmetric • Make the spread of several groups more alike • Make the form nearly linear • Make the scatter more evenly spread
Steps to Follow • Do the linear model first (scatterplot, r, r-squared, LSRL, resid plot) • Mechanics-try re-expression(Ladder of Powers) (p.227 from book) • Now find a new model by least squares(this can be used for predictions)-include scatterplot, r, r-squared, LSRL, resid plot • Conclusion in context
Warning • Don’t expect to be able to straighten every curved scatter plot you find. • Re-expression cannot straighten those that go up and then down, or down and then up. Refuse to analyze such data using a linear form.
