use all R commands you need, including lm() function, to answer the following questions.

1. (a) Fit the MLR model with LIFE (y) as the response variable, and MALE (x1), BIRTH (x2), DIVO (x3), BEDS (x4), EDUC (x5), and INCO (x6), as predictors.

2. (b) At level α = 5%, conduct the F-test for the overall fit of the regression. Comment on the results.

3. (c) At level α = 1%, test each of the individual regression coefficients. Do the results indicate that any of the explanatory variables should be removed from the model?

4. (d) Determine the regression model with the explanatory variable(s) identified in part (c) removed. Write down the estimated regression equation.

5. (e) Perform a partial F-test at level α = 1% to determine whether the variables associated with MALE and INCO can be removed from the model

6. (f) Compute and report the F test statistic for comparing the two models E(Yi|xi) = β0 + β1xi1,

   E(Yi|xi) = β0 + β1xi1 + β2xi2 + β3xi3 + β4xi4 + β5xi5 + β6xi6,

7. (g) Perform a partial F-test at level α = 1% for comparing the two models E(Yi|xi) = β0,

   E(Yi|xi) = β0 + β1xi1 + β2xi2,

8. (h) Compute and report the terms in the decomposition

   SSreg(β1, β2, β3|β0) = SSreg(β3|β0) + SSreg(β2|β0, β3) + SSreg(β1|β0, β3, β2)

9. (i) Suppose we are interested in fitting a regression model using LIFE as the response variable

   and some subset of the variables (MALE, BIRTH, DIVO, and INCO) as predictor.

   (i.1) Perform variable selection by finding the subset model that minimizes the AIC criteria. State the ’best model’.

   2. (i.2) Perform variable selection using forward selection. State the ’best model’.

   3. (i.3) Perform variable selection using backward selection. State the ’best model’.

Answer 1

Here I attach the R code along with the solution :

x=read.csv("C:\\Users\\PC-10\\Desktop\\s.csv")
head(x)
library(car)
m=lm(x$LIFE~x$MALE+x$BIRTH+x$DIVO+x$BEDS+x$EDUC+x$INCO)
vif(m)
summary(m)

Here at 1% level male, divo, educ and income are not significant. we continue our regression by removing these varaibles.

x=read.csv("C:\\Users\\PC-10\\Desktop\\s.csv")
head(x)
library(car)
m=lm(x$LIFE~x$BIRTH+x$BEDS)
vif(m)
summary(m)
r=residuals(m)
shapiro.test(r)
Box.test(r,type = "Ljung-Box")

The model satisfies the assumptions of normality and autocorrelation of residuals.

The estimated regression model is:

Life=79.147-0.328*Birth-0.0027*Beds
