During periods of high electricity demand, especially during the hot summer months, the power output from a gas turbine engine can drop dramatically. One way to counter this drop in power is by cooling the inlet air to the gas turbine. An increasingly popular cooling method uses high pressure inlet fogging. The performance of a sample of 67 gas turbines augmented with high pressure inlet fogging was investigated in the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (January 2005). One measure of performance is heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour). Heat rates for the 67 gas turbines, saved in the gasturbine file.

Unit 3.1: Multicollinearity and Variable Screening

Step 1: Collect the Data

Check the appropriateness of response variable for regression: View a histogram of response variable. It should be continuous, and approximately unimodal and symmetric, with few outliers.

gasturbine<-read.delim("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvaranyak4/STAT3220/main/GASTURBINE.txt")
head(gasturbine)
names(gasturbine)
[1] "ENGINE"     "SHAFTS"     "RPM"        "CPRATIO"    "INLET.TEMP"
[6] "EXH.TEMP"   "AIRFLOW"    "POWER"      "HEATRATE"  
hist(gasturbine$HEATRATE, xlab="Heat Rate", main="Histogram of Heat Rate") 

The distribution of the response variable, heat rate, is unimodal and skewed right. It is continuous, so it should still be suitable for regression.

Step 2: Hypothesize Relationship (Exploratory Data Analysis)

We will explore the relationship with quantitative variables with scatter plots and correlations and classify each relationship as linear, curvilinear, or none. We explore the box plots and means for each qualitative variable explanatory variable then classify the relationships as existent or not. We will not explore interactions in this example.

Step 2 (continued): Multicollinearity

Do any of the explanatory variables have relationships with each other? We will look at pairwise correlations and VIF to evaluate multicollinearity in the quantitative explanatory variables.

Yes, there is evidence of severe multicollinearity because several VIFs are much greater than 10 and the average VIF is greater than 3.

Step 2 (continued): Variable Screening

Because we have quite a few variables and severe multicollinearity, we need to address that. It is not clear from EDA what variables should remain and which variables should be removed.

We will use variable selection procedures to narrow down our quantitative variables to a best set of predictors. We will use the entry and remain significance levels of 0.15

The average VIF is slightly greater than 3. We conclude this is no longer a severe issue and we can continue with our analysis. Moving forward, we might consider adding the remaining qualitative variables, interactions, and higher order (or variable transformations). We then would go forward and assess the model.
