LINEAR REGRESSION MODELS W4315 HOMEWORK 2 ANSWERS February 15‚ 2010 Instructor: Frank Wood 1. (20 points) In the file ”problem1.txt”(accessible on professor’s website)‚ there are 500 pairs of data‚ where the first column is X and the second column is Y. The regression model is Y = β0 + β1 X + a. Draw 20 pairs of data randomly from this population of size 500. Use MATLAB to run a regression model specified as above and keep record of the estimations of both β0 and β1 . Do this 200 times. Thus you

Problems on Regression and Correlation Prepared by: Dr. Elias Dabeet Q1. Dr. Green (a pediatrician) wanted to test if there is a correlation between the number of meals consumed by a child per day (X) and the child weight (Y). Included you will find a table containing the information on 5 of the children. Use the table to answer the following: Child Number of meals consumed per day (X) child weight (Y) X² Y² XY Ahmad 11 8 121 64 88 Ali 16 11 256 121 176 Osama 12 9 144

I met with Talon Peterson and administered 2 different reading test/tasks. First he completed a post test of the Renaissance Star test. This test is vocabulary and comprehension so the results are a fairly good indicator of overall reading ability. What Star won’t measure is fluency which is a major factor in determining a student’s ability to keep pace with their peers on reading and writing tasks. Results are reported in grade year and month. His scores were as follows: Baseline Testing:

and union membership. We will use the technique of linear regression and correlation. Regression analysis in this case should predict the value of the dependent variable (annual wages)‚ using independent variables (gender‚ occupation‚ industry‚ years of education‚ race‚ and years of work experience‚ marital status‚ and union membership). Regression Analysis Based on our initial findings from MegaStat‚ we built the following model for regression (coefficient factors are rounded to the nearest hundredth):
