Notable Observations:
- Mnf.Flow: Highly skewed with a wide range (-100.20 to 229.40) and a very high standard deviation (119.48), indicating significant variability.
- Carb.Flow: Extremely skewed with a wide range (26.00 to 5104.00) and a high standard deviation (1073.70), suggesting potential outliers.
- Filler.Speed: Large spread (998.00 to 4030.00) with a substantial standard deviation (770.82), indicating significant variability across samples.
- Hyd.Pressure1, Hyd.Pressure2, Hyd.Pressure3: All
exhibit high skewness with notable ranges and standard deviations (e.g.,
Hyd.Pressure1: -0.80 to 58.00, SD = 12.43), likely requiring transformation. - MFR: Missing values are notable (8.25%), with a moderately wide range (31.40 to 868.60) and standard deviation (73.90), indicating some variability.
Recommendations:
- Apply transformations (e.g., log or Box-Cox) for skewed variables
(
Carb.Flow,Mnf.Flow,Hyd.Pressure*) to normalize distributions. - Investigate outliers for variables with large ranges and high
variability (
Carb.Flow,Filler.Speed). - Address missingness in
MFRdue to its notable percentage (8.25%).

Visualize missing values
High Missingness (e.g.,
MFR~8%): Use predictive imputation methods like MICE (Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations) or KNN to estimate values based on patterns in other variables.Low to Moderate Missingness (<5%):
- Continuous Variables: Use mean
imputation for normally distributed data and median
imputation for skewed data (e.g.,
PC.Volume,Fill.Ounces).
- Continuous Variables: Use mean
imputation for normally distributed data and median
imputation for skewed data (e.g.,

Investigate relationship between Brand Code and PH
There is a statistically significant relationship between Brand_Code and PH based on the provided analyses. We will therefore retain Brand.Code as a variables:
Summary Statistics
The mean, median, and standard deviation of PH vary across the different levels of Brand_Code, indicating differences in central tendency and variability.
ANOVA
The ANOVA results show a significant F-statistic with a p-value less than 0.05 (\(p < 2.2 \times 10^{-16}\)), which suggests that there are statistically significant differences in the mean PH values across the levels of Brand_Code.
Boxplots
The boxplots illustrate visible differences in the distributions of PH for each Brand_Code. These differences reinforce the findings from the summary statistics and ANOVA.
Chi-Square Test (Categorized PH)
When PH is categorized into levels such as “Low,” “Medium,” and “High,” the Chi-Square test also indicates a significant association (\(p < 2.2 \times 10^{-16}\)). However, the warning about the Chi-Square approximation suggests caution in interpretation, potentially due to sparse data in some categories.
Conclusion
The statistical evidence supports a relationship between Brand_Code and PH. These findings could inform further modeling, such as including Brand_Code as a categorical predictor in statistical or machine learning models.
Step 1: Statistical Summary by Group

The imputation methods applied in the script are outlined below,
incorporating the specialized treatment of the
Brand_Code variable and handling scenarios where the
target variable (PH) is unavailable in the evaluation
set:
Imputation Methods Summary:
- Numeric Variables:
- Predictive Mean Matching (PMM) was used for numeric
variables, implemented via the
micepackage. - Missing values were imputed by predicting plausible values based on observed data patterns, ensuring realistic and consistent imputations across variables.
- Predictive Mean Matching (PMM) was used for numeric
variables, implemented via the
- Categorical Variables (
Brand_Code):- Brand_Code:
- For the training set, missing values in
Brand_Codewere imputed using a multinomial logistic regression model withPHas the predictor. This method leverages the observed relationship betweenBrand_CodeandPHto provide accurate and contextually appropriate imputations. - For the evaluation set (where
PHis unavailable), missing values inBrand_Codewere imputed using mode-based imputation. The most frequent category from the training data was assigned to ensure consistency while addressing the absence of a predictor.
- For the training set, missing values in
- Brand_Code:
- Exclusions:
- The variable
PHwas explicitly excluded from imputation in theevaluation_setas its values are missing by design, representing the target variable to be predicted. - Any remaining missing values for
PHwere excluded from the final missing values report, as they are not subject to imputation.
- The variable

Data Distribution and Characteristics
The imputed train dataset was analyzed to understand the distributions, skewness, and presence of outliers among its numeric variables. The goal was to identify patterns in the data, such as normality, skewed distributions, and extreme values, while also determining variables with near-zero variance that provide limited analytical value. Below is a summary of the findings:
Distribution
- Approximately Normal: Variables such as “Carb.Volume,” “Fill.Ounces,” and “PSC” exhibit a roughly symmetric distribution, indicating a normal-like pattern.
- Skewed: Variables like “Carb.Flow,” “Hyd.Pressure3,” “Density,” and “Balling” display significant asymmetry, indicating skewness in the data.
- Multimodal: Variables such as “MFR” and “Filler.Speed” exhibit multiple peaks, suggesting the presence of distinct subgroups or clusters in the data.
Skewness
- Right-Skewed: Variables like “Carb.Flow,” “Hyd.Pressure3,” “MFR,” and “Usage.cont” have a longer tail on the right side, indicating higher values are less frequent.
- Left-Skewed: Variables such as “PSC.CO2,” “Carb.Rel,” and “PH” have a longer tail on the left side, with lower values being less frequent.
Outliers
- Significant Outliers: Variables including “MFR,” “Filler.Speed,” “Oxygen.Filler,” and “Bowl.Setpoint” have extreme values that deviate from the bulk of the data. These may require further investigation or transformation.
Excluded Variables (Near-Zero Variance)
- Variables like “Carb.Temp” and “Hyd.Pressure1” have extremely low variance, indicating almost no variability across their observations. These were excluded from visualization as they provide limited information for analysis.

Data Preparation and Yeo-Johnson Transformation
To prepare the datasets for statistical and machine learning models, the following steps were applied:
- Missing Values:
- Missing values in key variables, such as
Brand.Code, were identified and appropriately imputed to ensure data completeness.
- Missing values in key variables, such as
- Yeo-Johnson Transformation:
- The Yeo-Johnson transformation was applied to numeric variables
(excluding
PHand categorical variables) to handle both positive and negative values. This transformation stabilizes variance and improves normality, enhancing model performance and robustness.
- The Yeo-Johnson transformation was applied to numeric variables
(excluding
These preprocessing steps ensure the datasets are ready for accurate and reliable analysis in statistical and machine learning models.

#str(evaluation_set_transformed)Skewness Comparison: Impact of Yeo-Johnson Transformation
- Overview:
- This visualization illustrates the skewness of numeric variables before and after the Yeo-Johnson transformation, highlighting its ability to handle both positive and negative values effectively while reducing skewness.
- Key Observations:
- Significant Skewness Reduction: Variables such as
Hyd.Pressure2,MFR, andCarb.Volumeshow substantial decreases in skewness, transitioning towards more symmetric distributions favorable for modeling.
- Minimal Changes: Variables like
TemperatureandPH, with low initial skewness, show little to no effect, indicating that the transformation preserves already symmetric distributions.
- Significant Skewness Reduction: Variables such as
- Conclusion:
- The Yeo-Johnson transformation effectively reduces skewness, particularly in highly skewed variables, improving data symmetry. This makes the dataset more suitable for statistical and machine learning models that benefit from normally distributed inputs.

Remove Near-zero Variance Highly Correlated Variables for Model Suitability
In the dataset, several near-zero variance and highly correlated
variables were identified and removed, including Balling,
Alch.Rel, Balling.Lvl, Density,
and others. Removing these variables is crucial for models that are
sensitive to multicollinearity or feature redundancy, such as:
- Linear Regression: To prevent inflated variance estimates and ensure stable coefficients.
- Logistic Regression: To enhance interpretability and maintain prediction accuracy.
- PCA (Principal Component Analysis): To avoid redundant variables dominating principal components.
- Regularized Models (e.g., Lasso, Ridge): While these models address multicollinearity, removing redundant variables improves computational efficiency.
For tree-based models or non-linear algorithms (e.g., Random Forest, XGBoost), this step is generally unnecessary, as these models are robust to multicollinearity and handle feature interactions inherently.

For statistical models: - Standardization (mean
centering and scaling to unit variance) is applied to all numeric
variables, including the target variable PH. -
One-hot encoding is applied to Brand_Code,
with one dummy variable dropped to avoid multicollinearity.

Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Models
Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models will be built.
Process of OLS Modeling
- Data Preparation: Split the dataset into training (80%) and testing (20%) sets to evaluate model performance.
- Baseline MLR Model: Fit a multiple linear regression (MLR) model using all available features.
- Feature Selection: Use forward selection, backward elimination, stepwise selection, and recursive feature elimination (RFE) to identify subsets of relevant predictors.
- Feature Engineering: Create new features based on domain knowledge or interactions to improve model performance.
- Advanced Models: Incorporate interaction terms or polynomial features to capture complex relationships between variables.
- Evaluation: Evaluate models using metrics like \(R^2\), RMSE, and Test RMSE to identify the best-performing model.
OLS Model Performance
The Interaction Terms Model emerged as the best model with the lowest Test_RMSE (0.7320), a relatively high Train_R2 (0.6343), and a balanced generalization ability. This indicates that incorporating interactions between variables significantly enhances predictive performance.

Residual Diagnostics Statement:
Residuals vs Fitted Plot: The residuals exhibit a random scatter around the zero line, indicating linearity. However, some slight heteroscedasticity may be present as the spread of residuals appears to increase slightly for higher fitted values.
Q-Q Plot: The residuals generally follow the theoretical quantiles, suggesting that the normality assumption is approximately satisfied, though some deviation is observed in the tails.
Scale-Location Plot: The spread of standardized residuals is relatively consistent across fitted values, supporting the homoscedasticity assumption.
Residuals vs Leverage Plot: A few high-leverage points are present, as indicated by Cook’s distance. These points may influence the model significantly and warrant further investigation.
Overall, the diagnostic plots indicate that the model assumptions are reasonably met, though some high-leverage points may require attention.

PLS Modeling Process
- Data Preparation:
- The data was split into training (80%) and testing (20%) sets.
- Predictors (
train_X,test_X) and the response variable (train_y,test_y) were prepared.
- Model Training and Evaluation:
- PLS and PCR: Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Principal Component Regression (PCR) were trained using cross-validation to select the optimal number of components. Predictions were made for both training and testing datasets, and RMSE and \(R^2\) were calculated.
- Ridge and Lasso Regression: Ridge (alpha=0) and Lasso (alpha=1) regression models were trained using cross-validation to select the optimal regularization parameter (\(\lambda\)). Predictions were made on the datasets, and metrics were computed.
- Elastic Net: Elastic Net, combining Lasso and Ridge, was tuned over a grid of \(\lambda\) and \(\alpha\) values using cross-validation. Predictions and metrics were computed.
- Result Compilation:
- RMSE and \(R^2\) for both training and testing datasets were consolidated into a DataFrame for all models.
- Models were ranked by Test RMSE in ascending order.
Partial Least Squares Model Performance
Based on the sorted DataFrame output, Lasso Regression is the best-performing model, having the lowest Test RMSE (\(0.8078\)) and competitive \(R^2\) values. This suggests that it balances bias and variance effectively for this dataset.

Residual Analysis, Variable Importance and Cross-Validation of the Best PLS (Lasso) Model
The diagnostic plots and the cross-validation summary for the Lasso model reveal the following:
- Residual Analysis:
- The residuals vs. fitted plot indicates no obvious patterns, suggesting that the model does not suffer from severe non-linearity or heteroscedasticity.
- The Q-Q plot indicates that the residuals approximately follow a normal distribution, with minor deviations at the tails.
- The scale-location plot (√|Standardized Residuals| vs. Fitted Values) shows that the variance is relatively constant, further supporting the assumption of homoscedasticity.
- The residuals vs. leverage plot does not show influential points with high leverage, suggesting stability in the model.
- Cross-Validation Results:
- The optimal lambda value for minimizing mean squared error (MSE) is 0.001266, which resulted in 23 nonzero predictors being retained in the model.
- The lambda at the one standard error rule (λ.1se = 0.024844) selects a simpler model with 17 predictors, which sacrifices minimal predictive performance for increased parsimony.
- Conclusion: The Lasso model achieves a balance between model complexity and predictive accuracy. It reduces the number of predictors to avoid overfitting while maintaining satisfactory performance metrics. These characteristics make it a robust choice for modeling, especially when interpretability and variable selection are priorities.

### Residual analysis of the KNN Model
This residual analysis evaluates the performance and assumptions of the KNN model by examining residual patterns and prediction accuracy. It includes:
- Residuals vs. Predicted Values: Checks for systematic bias in predictions.
- Residual Distribution: Assesses the normality of residuals, a key assumption for model evaluation.
- Predicted vs. Actual Values: Highlights how closely predictions match actual outcomes.
- QQ Plot: Examines residual normality visually, detecting deviations from the expected distribution.
The combined analysis provides insights into the KNN model’s predictive reliability and adherence to assumptions.

SVM Model
The Support Vector Regression (SVR) model demonstrated the best performance with the following optimal parameters:
- Sigma (σ): 0.02630081
- Cost (C): 4
The Test RMSE achieved was 0.08066137, and the Test \(R^2\) was 0.5555124, indicating a strong predictive performance. The validation curve illustrates that the RMSE decreases as \(C\) approaches the optimal value but increases beyond it, affirming the selected optimal configuration. Statistical evaluation metrics further support the model’s fit with calculated AIC, AICc, and BIC values.

Residual Analysis of SVR Model
Residual analysis evaluates the performance and assumptions of a fitted Support Vector Regression (SVR) model. Below are key observations based on the generated plots:
- Residuals vs. Predicted Values: The scatterplot shows residuals are relatively scattered around zero, indicating reasonable model fit. However, slight patterns suggest potential non-linear relationships or missing interactions.
- Residual Distribution: The histogram reveals residuals are centered around zero but exhibit slight skewness, indicating the model’s error terms are not perfectly normally distributed.
- QQ Plot: The QQ plot suggests minor deviations from normality in the residuals, particularly at the extremes, which could indicate outliers or heteroscedasticity.
- Predicted vs. Actual Values: The scatterplot demonstrates predicted values closely align with actual values, reflected by points clustering near the diagonal, confirming good overall model performance.
These insights highlight areas of improvement for fine-tuning the SVR model or feature engineering.

Final Model Selection
Best Model and Justification:
Based on the Consolidated Model Performance Metrics, the Random Forest model is the best overall performer among tree-based models. It achieves: - Highest Predictive Accuracy: Test_R² of 0.7011 and Test_RMSE of 0.1000, indicating its superior ability to explain variability and predict accurately on unseen data. - Robustness: Minimal overfitting, as reflected in its aligned Train_R² and Test_R², as well as consistent RMSE values across training and testing. - Realistic Predictions: The Random Forest model predicts PH values that are highly consistent with expected ranges, making it ideal for practical applications.
Why Choose Another Tree-Based Model?
Although Random Forest is the top choice, other tree-based models might be considered depending on the dataset or specific requirements:
- Flexibility:
- XGBoost is a competitive alternative with a Test_RMSE of 0.1099 and Test_R² of 0.6224. It is particularly effective for datasets with missing values or noisy data, thanks to its ability to handle complex interactions and fine-tuned hyperparameter optimization.
- Gradient-Based Boosting:
- GBM provides solid performance with a Test_R² of 0.6381 and Test_RMSE of 0.1075. While slightly less accurate than XGBoost, GBM is simpler to implement and is often less computationally demanding for smaller datasets.
- Ensemble Stability:
- Bagged Trees can be considered for datasets requiring high stability in predictions, although it underperforms relative to Random Forest, with a Test_RMSE of 0.1252 and Test_R² of 0.5187.
Why Exclude Statistical and Gradient-Based Models?
While the Interaction Term model and SVR perform well on test metrics, they fail to predict realistic PH values. These unrealistic predictions make them unsuitable for practical use cases, where interpretability and alignment with expected ranges are critical.
Recommendation:
- Primary Choice: Random Forest for its unmatched predictive performance, robustness, and realistic predictions.
- Alternative Choices:
- XGBoost for its robustness against noisy or incomplete data and ability to model complex relationships.
- GBM for a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency in smaller datasets.
By focusing solely on tree-based models, this selection ensures the emphasis remains on methods that consistently deliver realistic predictions while accommodating different modeling priorities.

Model Predictions and Evaluation using Multiple Regression and Machine Learning Models
- Prediction: Using trained models (Random Forest
[Best Model], Interaction Terms OLS, Support Vector
Regression, and XGBoost [Alternate Models]) to predict
the target variable (
PH) on a new evaluation dataset that lacks the ground truth for comparison. - Preprocessing: Applying appropriate data preprocessing steps (e.g., scaling, encoding, and interaction term generation) specific to each model type.
- Evaluation: Visualizing the distribution of predicted values and comparing predictions across models using plots and summary statistics.
- Model Comparison: Discussing which model performs best and why one might choose an alternate model based on interpretability, ease of deployment, or other practical factors.
Below are the code blocks to make predictions on the
evaluation_set_boxcox dataset using the Random
Forest (best model) and alternative models (Interaction
Terms OLS, SVR, and XGBoost).
Necessary data preprocessing steps for each model are included, along
with forecasting and evaluation plots.

The pairwise scatterplots compare the predicted PH values across three models: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), and XGBoost (XGB). The following observations can be made:
- Strong Agreement: The diagonal patterns in the plots indicate a high level of agreement between models. Predictions from the models are closely aligned, with minimal dispersion.
- Consistency: The predictions show consistent relationships across pairs of models, suggesting that all three models capture similar trends in the data.
- Differences: Slight deviations in alignment (e.g., slight spread around the diagonal) suggest that while the models agree overall, there are subtle differences in their predictions, which may reflect differences in how each model handles data and relationships.
This analysis highlights the reliability of the models, while also pointing to minor variations that could be further explored depending on application requirements.
