  1. Chapter 9Regression Wisdom • Subsets • If the data consist of two or more groups that have been thrown together, it is usually best to fit different linear models to each group than to try to fit a single model to all the data • Residuals Plot • Extrapolation • It is unsafe to predict values of y for values of x that are far from the ones used to find the linear model equation. Extrapolation in time is particulary dangerous.

  2. y x OUTLIERS • x-outiers • y-outliers • Model Outliers y x y x

  3. y x Outliers (cont.) • High Leverage Points • (x-outliers) • Influential Points • High Leverage Points that are model outliers y x

  4. Project • Make sure the relationship is straight. • Check Residuals • Beware of extrapolating • Careful extrapolating into the future. • Check for subsets (different groups) • Look for outliers • Beware of high leverage points and specially of those that are influential. • Consider comparing two regressions • Beware of Lurking Variables and Causation • Watch out when dealing with data from summaries

  5. Chapter 10Re-expressing Data

  6. Goals of Re-expression • Goal 1 • Make the distribution of a variable more symmetric

  7. Goals of Re-expression • Goal 2 • Make the spread of several groups more alike

  8. Goals of Re-expression • Goal 3 • Make the form of a scatterplot more nearly linear. • Goal 4 • Make the scatter in a scatterplot spread out evenly rather than following a fan shape
