STAT270 and STAT680

Applied Statistics

Assignment Semester 2. 2019

You are expected to write your assignment using R Markdown (see Lecture 6) or MS Word and submit a PDF.

You need to submit your assignment via the provided submission link on iLearn.

You may discuss the assignment in the early stages with your fellow students. However, the assignment

submitted should be your own individual work.

The R Markdown ‘Cheatsheet’ from the RStudio team is given here.

In your answers to the questions below, produce the appropriate R output and/or explanation of the steps and

results. Don’t include any more R output than necessary and include only concise explanations.

Question 1 [21 marks]

Information was recorded on 376 sampled whiskys and is available in the file whisky-chemistry.csv on

iLearn.

Variable Description

Taste Taste score achieved for the Whisky

Alcohol Level of Alcohol in % for the Whisky

Esters Level of Esters: Typically add fruity flavour

Lactones Level of Lactones: Found in the barrel the Whisky is aged in.

Contributes to woody flavours.

PhenComp Level of Phenolic Compounds: Typically giving a smokey

flavour.

a) Consider first a full regression model with all the predictors used to explain the Taste response.

i) [4 marks] Write down the full statistical multiple regression model for quality explained by the

other predictors. Carefully define all necessary paramters in your answer.

ii) [4 marks] Fit and validate the full regression model.

iii) [3 marks] Compute a 95% confidence interval for the regression coefficient (slope) for the Esters

variable. Explain what the confidence interval represents in the context of the data.

b) Consider now a reduced model that can explain the taste response with a reduced set of predictors.

i) [2 marks] Using the appropriate backward model selection method discussed in the course,

determine the best regression model for the data.

ii) [4 marks] Write down the final model and interpret it in the context of the data.

c) For both the full model considered in a) and the reduced model in b), answer the questions below.

i) [2 marks] State the R2 and explain what it means in the context of the data.

ii) [2 marks] Explain why the adjusted R2

should be reported over the R2

for assessing the goodness

of fit.

Question 2 [10 marks]

An internet service provider would like to know the levels of performance of its four competitors, which all

offer a competitive product near Macquarie Park. A random sample of people that in that area and subscribe

to one of those four providers’ plans were surveyed to see the average download speed achieved under a

standard speed test. The achieved speed and service provider is recorded. The data is available in the file

internet-speed.csv on iLearn.

Variable Description

TestedSpeed The measured download speed

Provider The four internet service providers with levels A, B, C and D

Define the general contrasts,

Conduct two significance tests on the contrasts C1 and C2 for an overall significance level of α = 0.05. In

each of your answers:

a) [1 mark] State the appropriate hypotheses.

b) [1 mark] Calculate the observed value of the (raw) contrast.

c) [2 marks] Calculate the standard error of the contrast.

d) [1 mark] State the null distribution of the test statistic.

e) [2 marks] Compute or give the best approximate bound on the P-Value.

f) [3 marks] Draw your overall conclusions (both statistical and contextual).
