Objectives

The objectives of this problem set is to orient you to a number of activities in R. And to conduct a thoughtful exercise in appreciating the importance of data visualization. For each question create a code chunk or text response that completes/answers the activity or question requested. Finally, upon completion name your final output .html file as: YourName_ANLY512-Section-Year-Semester.html and upload it to the “Problem Set 2” assignmenet on Moodle.

Questions

  1. Anscombes quartet is a set of 4 \(x,y\) data sets that were published by Francis Anscombe in a 1973 paper Graphs in statistical analysis. For this first question load the anscombe data that is part of the library(datasets) in R. And assign that data to a new object called data.
str(anscombe)
## 'data.frame':    11 obs. of  8 variables:
##  $ x1: num  10 8 13 9 11 14 6 4 12 7 ...

  1. Create scatter plots for each \(x, y\) pair of data.
library(ggplot2)
plot(x1,y1, main = "Scatter plot between x1 & y1")

plot(x2,y2,main = "Scatter plot between x2 & y2")

plot(x3,y3, main = "Scatter plot between x3 & y3")

plot(x4,y4, main = "Scatter plot between x4 & y4")

  1. Now change the symbols on the scatter plots to solid circles and plot them together as a 4 panel graphic
par(mfrow = c(2,2))
plot(x1,y1, main = "Scatter plot between x1 & y1", pch = 19)
plot(x2,y2,main = "Scatter plot between x2 & y2", pch = 19)
plot(x3,y3, main = "Scatter plot between x3 & y3", pch = 19)
plot(x4,y4, main = "Scatter plot between x4 & y4", pch = 19)

  1. Now fit a linear model to each data set using the lm() function.

  1. Now combine the last two tasks. Create a four panel scatter plot matrix that has both the data points and the regression lines. (hint: the model objects will carry over chunks!)
par(mfrow = c(2,2))
plot(Lm1)

plot(Lm2)

plot(Lm3)

plot(Lm4)

  1. Now compare the model fits for each model object.
anova(Lm1, test ="Chisq")

  1. In text, summarize the lesson of Anscombe’s Quartet and what it says about the value of data visualization.

There are four pairs of data of Anscombe’s Quartet. From the data visualization results, we can see they are quite different. In addition, linear model doesn’t fit all data pairs. Only x3,y3 fit the linear model well. The data visualization help us understand the dataset clear and directly.
