Two Parameters

We’re using height data collected in the NHANES from 2009 to 2011 to build a model for the height of adult men that can answer questions like “Given 4 random men, what would the biggest difference in their heights be on average?”. Our data represents a broad cross-section of America, but changes in demographics since 2010 may limit its applicability. We modeled the height using a linear intercept-only regression with an error term in the Gaussian family. We found that average male height was 175.9 cm with a standard deviation of 7.5, though realistically this answer applies to American men: you’d likely get a different answer altogether if you surveyed men from Denmark or Japan.
