1.2 How many numerical variables are included in the data? Include what they are, and if they are continuous or discrete?

str(iris)
## 'data.frame':    150 obs. of  5 variables:
##  $ Sepal.Length: num  5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...

##  $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

The code snippet provided displays information about a dataset called “iris.” The dataset contains 150 observations and 5 variables. The variables are as follows:

Sepal.Length: Represents the length of the sepal in each observation. Sepal.Width: Represents the width of the sepal in each observation. Petal.Length: Represents the length of the petal in each observation. Petal.Width: Represents the width of the petal in each observation. Species: Represents the species of the iris flower, categorized into three levels: “setosa,” “versicolor,” and “virginica.”

1.3 How many categorical variables are included in the data, and what are they? List the corresponding levels(categories).

levels(iris$Species)
## [1] "setosa"     "versicolor" "virginica"

The output also indicates that there are masked objects from the “iris” dataset. These masked objects are related to the variables “Petal.Length,” “Petal.Width,” “Sepal.Length,” “Sepal.Width,” and “Species.” They appear to be masked at positions 3 and 4.

?datasets(iris)

This line is used to access the documentation for the iris dataset in the datasets package. It provides information about the dataset’s source, description, and variable details.

?iris

df <- iris
attach(iris)

plot(Sepal.Length,Sepal.Width, 
     xlab = "Sepal Length",
     ylab = "Sepal Width",
     col= iris$Species,
     main="Sepal Scatterplot by Species")

require(stats); require(graphics)
coplot(circumference ~ age | Tree, data = Orange, show.given = FALSE)

This line attaches the iris dataset to the search path, making the variables in the dataset directly accessible by their names. It allows us to refer to the variables without specifying the dataset name. This line creates a scatter plot with “Sepal.Length” on the x-axis and “Sepal.Width” on the y-axis. Each data point is colored based on the species of the iris flower. The x-axis label is set to “Sepal Length,” the y-axis label is set to “Sepal Width,” and the plot title is set to “Sepal Scatterplot by Species.”

fm1 <- nls(circumference ~ SSlogis(age, Asym, xmid, scal),
           data = Orange, subset = Tree == 3)
plot(circumference ~ age, data = Orange, subset = Tree == 3,
     xlab = "Tree age (days since 1968/12/31)",
     ylab = "Tree circumference (mm)", las = 1,
     main = "Orange tree data and fitted model (Tree 3 only)")
age <- seq(0, 1600, length.out = 101)
lines(age, predict(fm1, list(age = age)))

This code fits a nonlinear least squares model to the Orange dataset. The model fits the relationship between “circumference” and “age” using a logistic function. The fitted model is then plotted along with the actual data points for “Tree” number 3. The x-axis is labeled as “Tree age (days since 1968/12/31),” the y-axis is labeled as “Tree circumference (mm),” and the plot title is set to “Orange tree data and fitted model (Tree 3 only).” This code generates a conditioned scatterplot (coplot) with “circumference” on the y-axis and “age” on the x-axis. The plot is conditioned on the variable “Tree” from the Orange dataset. Each panel in the coplot represents a different level of the “Tree” variable.

plot(Petal.Length,Petal.Width, 
     xlab = "Petal Length",
     ylab = "Petal Width",
     col = iris$Species,
     main="Petal Scatterplot")
