Type the following into the R terminal (or, easier, make an R script that contains the following code): data(UCBAdmissions) Adm <- as.integer(UCBAdmissions)[(1:(6*2))*2-1] Rej <- as.integer(UCBAdmissions)[(1:(6*2))*2] Dept <- gl(6,2,6*2,labels=c("A","B","C","D","E","F")) Sex <- gl(2,1,6*2,labels=c("Male","Female")) Ratio <- Adm/(Rej+Adm) berk <- data.frame(Adm,Rej,Sex,Dept,Ratio) You can see the first several rows of the data frame by typing head(berk). Now let’s do logistic regression to try and predict probability of...
