Homework 5 (5%): due by next lecture on March 26th

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.

Answer to Task 1

germany_data <- read_fst("germany_data.fst")
df <- "germany_data"
df <- germany_data %>%
  mutate(behave = ipbhprp,
         secure = impsafe,
         safety = ipstrgv,
         tradition = imptrad,
         rules = ipfrule) %>%
  mutate(across(c("behave", "secure", "safety", "tradition", "rules"),
                ~ na_if(.x, 7) %>% na_if(8) %>% na_if(9))) %>%
  mutate(across(c("behave", "secure", "safety", "tradition", "rules"), ~ 7 - .x ))

df$auth <- scales::rescale(df$behave + 
                      df$secure + 
                      df$safety + 
                      df$tradition + 
                      df$rules, to=c(0,100), na.rm=TRUE)

df <- df %>% filter(!is.na(auth))
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_,
      TRUE ~ rlgdgr
      
    )
  )
model3 <- lm(auth ~ polID + religious, data = df, weights = weight)
model4 <- lm(auth ~ polID + religious + polID*religious, data = df, weights = weight)
modelsummary(
  list(model3, model4),
  fmt = 1,
  estimate  = c( "{estimate} ({std.error}){stars}",
                  "{estimate} ({std.error}){stars}"),
  statistic = NULL)
 (1)   (2)
(Intercept) 57.5 (0.7)*** 59.6 (0.9)***
polIDModerate 5.3 (0.7)*** 2.6 (1.1)*
polIDRight 9.3 (1.1)*** 3.4 (1.9)+
religious 0.3 (0.1)** −0.3 (0.2)+
polIDModerate × religious 0.8 (0.2)**
polIDRight × religious 1.5 (0.4)***
Num.Obs. 2855 2855
R2 0.035 0.041
R2 Adj. 0.034 0.039
AIC 24680.0 24665.5
BIC 24709.7 24707.2
Log.Lik. −12334.978 −12325.764
RMSE 17.13 17.13

With this data, we can now interpret it. The intercept is 57.5 for (1), and the intercept is 59.6 for (2). Additionally, pollDModerate is 5.3 for (1) and 2.6 for (2). Whereas pollDRight is 9.3 for (1) and 3.4 for (2). The R2 is 0.035 for (1) and the R2 is 0.041 for (2). With this in mind, we can interpret based off of this data that we will reject the null hypothesis.

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.

Answer to Task 2

interaction_plot <- effect("polID*religious", model4, na.rm=TRUE)


plot(interaction_plot,
     main="Interaction effect",
     xlab="Religiousness",
     ylab="Authoritarian attitudes scale")

interaction_plot
## 
##  polID*religious effect
##           religious
## polID             0        2        5        8       10
##   Left     59.61010 58.93398 57.91980 56.90562 56.22950
##   Moderate 62.21299 63.14317 64.53843 65.93370 66.86388
##   Right    63.00456 65.26702 68.66072 72.05442 74.31689

To interpret this data, by looking at the authoritarian attitudes scale, it is clear that left has less of a religious effect given its downwards trend, whereas right has a significant influence of religion based on its upward trend, and moderate is roughly in the middle of the two, but also has a slight upward trend.

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.

Log.Lik. −4732.669 −4732.251
RMSE 14.94 14.94

To interpret this data, the coefficients for the first model are 8.2 for religionYes, 3.4 for IDRight, -5.8 for genBaby Boomers, -7.3 for genGen X, -8.6 for genMillennials. For the second model, the coefficients are 7.5 for religionYes, 3.4 for IDRight, -6.5 for genBaby Boomers, -7.6 for genGen X, -8.6 for genMillennials, religionYes x genBaby Boomers is 1.6, religionYes x genGen X is 0.5, and religionYes x genMillennials is -0.6. The number of observations are 1147 for both (1) and (2). The R2 is o.126 for (1) and the R2 for (2) is 0.127. By interpreting this data, we can reject the null hypothesis.

Task 4

Produce the model7 interaction plot from the tutorial, but again using the Netherlands data. Interpret.

Answer to Task 4

model7 <- lm(auth ~ + cohort + polID + cohort*polID, data = df, weights = weight)
interact_plot(model7, pred = cohort, modx = polID, jnplot = TRUE)

Based on this output, it can be interpreted that left, moderate and right all face downward trends from the years 1940 to 2000. Additionally, right sees the biggest downward trend, going from above 70 to below 60. Whereas left sees the smallest downward trend, going from slightly above 60 to slightly below 60.

Task 5

Produce the model8 interaction plot from the tutorial, but again using the Netherlands data. Interpret.

Answer to Task 5

model8 <- lm(auth ~ religious + ID + religious*ID, data = df, weights = weight)
interact_plot(model8, pred = religious, modx = ID, jnplot = TRUE)

Based on this output above, we are now able to interpret it. Both left and right are in an upwards trend. Additionally, right is starting off from slightly below 60, and left is starting from slightly below 55. Finally, left seems to show a slightly higher upwards trend compared to right.
