Instructions: Start a new R markdown for the homework and call it “Yourlastname_Firstname_Homework_5”.
Copy everything below from Task 1 to Task 5. Keep the task prompt and questions, and provide your code and answer underneath.
Remember: you need all the steps for your code to work, including loading your data – otherwise it will not knit.
To generate a new code box, click on the +C sign above. Underneath your code, provide your answer to the task question.
When you are done, click on “Knit” above, then “Knit to Html”. Wait for everything to compile. If you get an error like “Execution halted”, it means there are issues with your code you must fix. When all issues are fixed, it will prompt a new window. Then click on “Publish” in the top right, and then Rpubs (the first option) and follow the instructions to create your Rpubs account and get your Rpubs link for your document (i.e., html link as I provide for the tutorial).
Note: Make sure to provide both your markdown file and R pubs link. If you do not submit both, you will be penalized 2 pts. out of the 5 pts. total.
Task 1
Use data for Germany and the variable coding for model3 and model4 from the tutorial (i.e., both for the cleaning & recode, as well as the linear model formulas). Do a modelsummary table displaying both model outputs. Interpret the coefficients for the MLR without the interaction (i.e., the first displayed model), and interpret model fit metrics for both models.

polIDModerate (4.6): This coefficent indicates that, when considering individuals with equivalent levels of religiousness, those who identify themselves as politically moderate tend to score 4.6 units higher on average compared to those leaning ideologically to the ‘left’.
polIDRight (7.7): This statistic reveals that when examining individuals with equivalent levels of religiousness, those aligning themselves with the political right are anticipated to score, on average, 7.7 units higher on the authoritarian values scale compared to their counterparts identifying with the ‘left’ ideology.
religious (0.9): With a coefficient of 0.9, each incremental unit rise in religiousness is linked to an anticipated average increase of 0.9 units on the authoritarian values scale, provided we are comparing individuals within the same ideological category.
All three coefficients have ***, indicating a p < 0.001. Meaning: There is less than a 0.1% probability that the observed result is due to chance and we incorrectly reject the null.
Task 2
Now generate the model4 interaction plot that we did in the tutorial, but again using the German data instead of the French. Interpret.
interaction_plot <- effect("polID*religious", model4, na.rm=TRUE)
plot(interaction_plot,
main="Interaction effect",

ylab="Authoritarian attitudes scale")

## Right 60.60237 63.35032 67.47224 71.59416 74.34211The upward slope of polID Left demonstrates that those with left leaning poltical views rather possess slightly higher level of religiousness. The upward slope of polId Moderate demonstrates that those with moderate poltical views possess higher levels of religiousness compared to their left leaning counterparts. The steep upward slope of polID right suggests that those with right leaning poltical views possess highly elevated levels of religiousness than both those with left and moderate politcal views.
Task 3
Use data for the Netherlands and the variable coding for model5 and model6 from the tutorial (i.e., both for the cleaning & recode, as well as the linear model formulas). Do a modelsummary table displaying both model outputs. Interpret the coefficients for the MLR without the interaction (i.e., the first displayed model), and interpret model fit metrics for both models.

religionyes (8.2): This coefficient indicates that, those who identify
with a religion tend to score 8.2 units higher on average compared to
those with no affirming religion.
IDRight (3.4): This statistic reveals that when examining individuals with equivalent levels of religiousness, those aligning themselves with the political right are anticipated to score, on average, 3.4 units higher on the authoritarian values scale compared to their counterparts identifying with the ‘left’ ideology.
genBaby Boomers (-5.8): With a coefficient of -5.8, those within the baby boomer generation anticipate an average decrease of 5.8 units on the authoritarian values scale, provided we are comparing religious individuals within the same ideological category.
genX (-7.3): With a coefficient of -7.3, those within the x generation anticipate an average decrease of 7.3 units on the authoritarian values scale, provided we are comparing religious individuals within the same ideological category.
genMillenials (-8.6): With a coefficient of -8.6, those within the millenial generation anticipate an average decrease of 8.6 units on the authoritarian values scale, provided we are comparing religious individuals within the same ideological category.
Task 4
Produce the model7 interaction plot from the tutorial, but again using the Netherlands data. Interpret. raction_plot
df <- df %>%
mutate(
polID = case_when(
lrscale %in% 0:3 ~ "Left",
lrscale %in% 7:10 ~ "Right",
lrscale %in% 4:6 ~ "Moderate",
lrscale %in% c(77, 88, 99) ~ NA_character_
),
religious = case_when(
rlgdgr %in% c(77, 88, 99) ~ NA_real_,

)
)
model7 <- lm(auth ~ + cohort + polID + cohort*polID, data = df, weights = weight)
interact_plot(model7, pred = cohort, modx = polID, jnplot = TRUE)
The graph demonstrates an intersection between the lines representing
the right and moderate political ideologies, therefore there is an
evident interaction between the two variables.The line representing the
political left slightly intersects these lines, therefore these is an
interaction between cohort and political ideology for those with left
political ideologies.
Task 5
Produce the model8 interaction plot from the tutorial, but again using the Netherlands data. Interpret.
model8 <- lm(auth ~ religious + ID + religious*ID, data = df, weights = weight)
interact_plot(model8, pred = religious, modx = ID, jnplot = TRUE)
This graph demonstrates that both right and left political ideologies
are parallel and do not intersect, therefore there is no interaction
between political ideology and religiousness on the authoritarian
scale
