More information about the book can be found at http://wps.aw.com/aw_deveaux_stats_series. This file as well as the associated R Markdown reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. ## Chapter 8: Regression Wisdom ### Section 8.1: Examining residuals Figure 8.1 (page 220) displays the scatterplot of heart rate vs duration for the Penguins dataset (along with a superimposed regression line and a smoother). ```{r message = FALSE} library(mosaic) library(readr) options(digits = 3) Penguins <- read_csv("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4/data/Penguins.csv") gf_point(DiveHeartRate ~ Duration, ylab = "Dive Heart Rate (bpm)", xlab = "Duration (mins)", data = Penguins) %>% gf_lm() %>% gf_smooth(se = FALSE) ``` Figure 8.2 (page 220) displays the residuals from a linear regression model as a function of duration. ```{r message=FALSE} Penguinmod <- lm(DiveHeartRate ~ Duration, data = Penguins) gf_point(resid(Penguinmod) ~ Duration, data = Penguins) %>% gf_lm() %>% gf_smooth(se = FALSE) ``` Figure 8.3 (page 221) displays the histogram of residuals for the cereal data from Chapter 7. ```{r message=FALSE} Cereals <- read_csv("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4/data/Cereals.csv") Cerealmod <- lm(calories ~ sugars, data = Cereals) gf_histogram(~ resid(Cerealmod), binwidth = 7.5) ``` Figure 8.4 (page 221) displays a scatterplot of the residuals vs predicted values. Without jittering, the display has an odd pattern. ```{r} gf_point(resid(Cerealmod) ~ fitted(Cerealmod)) ``` By adding some random noise we can more easily observe values that are shared by more than one cereal. ```{r} gf_point(jitter(resid(Cerealmod)) ~ jitter(fitted(Cerealmod))) ``` Figure 8.5 (page 222) displays the scatterplot stratified by what shelf it is displayed on at the store. ```{r} tally(~ shelf, data = Cereals) Cereals <- mutate(Cereals, shelfgrp = recode(shelf, `1` = "bottomshelf", `2` = "middleshelf", `3` = "topshelf") ) tally(~ shelfgrp, data = Cereals) gf_point(calories ~ sugars, color = ~ shelfgrp, lwd = 2, data = Cereals) %>% gf_lm() ``` ### Section 8.2: Extrapolation and reaching beyond the data ### Section 8.3: Outliers, leverage, and influence ### Section 8.4: Lurking variables and causation ### Section 8.5: Working with summary values
