Question 13


This question should be answered using the Weekly data set, which is part of the ISLR2 package. This data is similar in nature to the Smarket data from this chapter’s lab, except that it contains 1,089 weekly returns for 21 years, from the beginning of 1990 to the end of 2010.

# loading in dataset 
market_data <- Weekly
  1. Produce some numerical and graphical summaries of the Weekly data. Do there appear to be any patterns?

Based on the summary of the data set, Lags 1 through 5 and today have the same minimum and maximum return. We can also see that according to the data, there has been more up (positive) return then down (negative) returns.

Based on the correlation scatterplot, we can see that Year and Volume are statistically significant and have a positive correlation of 0.842. Another thing to note is that the graph shows an upward trend in the points, meaning that as the years increase so does the volume of shares traded.

  1. Use the full data set to perform a logistic regression with Direction as the response and the five lag variables plus Volume as predictors. Use the summary function to print the results. Do any of the predictors appear to be statistically significant? If so, which ones?
market_glm <- glm(Direction ~ Lag1 + Lag2 + Lag3 + Lag4 + Lag5 + Volume, 
                  data = market_data,

From the summary of the logistic regression, there is only one variable that is statistically significant: Lag2.

  1. Compute the confusion matrix and overall fraction of correct predictions. Explain what the confusion matrix is telling you about the types of mistakes made by logistic regression.
market_preds <- predict(market_glm , type = "response")
market_glm.pred <- rep("Down", 1089)
market_glm.pred[market_preds > .5] = "Up"

table(market_glm.pred, market_data$Direction)
##                
## market_glm.pred Down  Up
##            Down   54  48
##            Up    430 557
mean(market_glm.pred == market_data$Direction)
## [1] 0.5610652

From the confusion matrix we can see that the logistic regression model was able to correctly predict the direction of the market 56% of the time. In the confusion matrix, it shows that the model predicted the market to be up 987 weeks out of the 1,089 weeks in the data set. This could be any issue as it is showing the model has a high false positive rate. On the other hand, the model correctly predicted the market being up when it actually was up 92% of the time (557 / (557 + 48)).

  1. Now fit the logistic regression model using a training data period from 1990 to 2008, with Lag2 as the only predictor. Compute the confusion matrix and the overall fraction of correct predictions for the held out data (that is, the data from 2009 and 2010).

Logistic Regression 0.625

QDA 0.587
KNN with K = 1 0.510

Of these models, logistic regression and LDA had the bust accuracy in prediction the direction of the market.

  1. Experiment with different combinations of predictors, including possible transformations and interactions, for each of the methods. Report the variables, method, and associated confusion matrix that appears to provide the best results on the held out data. Note that you should also experiment with values for K in the KNN classifier.

Question 14


In this problem, you will develop a model to predict whether a given car gets high or low gas mileage based on the Auto data set.

# called in data set
auto <- read.csv("Auto.csv", header = TRUE)
# removed any rows where horsepower was ? 
clean_auto <- auto[auto$horsepower != "?",]

# converting horsepower to a numeric value not that all ? have been removed
clean_auto$horsepower <- as.numeric(clean_auto$horsepower)
  1. Create a binary variable, mpg01, that contains a 1 if mpg contains a value above its median, and a 0 if mpg contains a value below its median. You can compute the median using the median() function. Note you may find it helpful to use the data.frame() function to create a single data set containing both mpg01 and the other Auto variables.
# found median of mpg
mpg_median <- median(auto$mpg)

# added new column to auto data set. Anything over the median is listed as 1
auto$mpg01 <- ifelse(auto$mpg > mpg_median, 1, 0)
auto$mpg01 <- as.factor(auto$mpg01)
  1. Explore the data graphically in order to investigate the association between mpg01 and the other features. Which of the other features seem most likely to be useful in predicting mpg01? Scatterplots and boxplots may be useful tools to answer this question. Describe your findings.
plot(auto)

auto |> 
  ggplot(
    aes(
      x = mpg01,
      y = displacement,
      fill = mpg01
    )
  ) +
  geom_boxplot()

auto |> 
  ggplot(
    aes(
      x = mpg01,
      y = weight,
      fill = mpg01
    )
  ) +
  geom_boxplot()

auto |> 
  ggplot(
    aes(
      x = mpg01,
      y = acceleration,
      fill = mpg01
    )
  ) +
  geom_boxplot()

Based on the scatter plot, it seems that displacement, weight, and acceleration would be good predictors for mpg01. According to the box plots, of the three displacement and weight show the most distance between 0 and 1 making them the most useful predictors.

  1. Split the data into a training set and a test set.

auto_train <- as.data.frame(partitions$train)
auto_test <- as.data.frame(partitions$test)
  1. Perform LDA on the training data in order to predict mpg01 using the variables that seemed most associated with mpg01 in (b). What is the test error of the model obtained?

Using the Boston data set, fit classification models in order to predict whether a given census tract has a crime rate above or below the median. Explore logistic regression, LDA, naive Bayes, and KNN models using various subsets of the predictors. Describe your findings.

Hint: You will have to create the response variable yourself, using the variables that are contained in the Boston data set.
