Question A answer

There seems to be a pattern at Volume and year

Question B: 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?

glm.fit <- glm(Direction ~ Lag1 + Lag2 + Lag3 + Lag4 + Lag5 + Volume, data=Weekly, family="binomial")

Question b answer

Lag 2 seems to be significant

Question c: 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.

glm.prob <- predict(glm.fit, type="response")
glm.pred <- ifelse(glm.prob>.5, "Up", "Down")
cmatrix <- table(Weekly$Direction, glm.pred)
cmatrix
##       glm.pred
##        Down  Up
##   Down   54 430
##   Up     48 557

Question c answer

There is prevalence of Up prediction. The model predicts Up direction very well, but for Down direction it performs badly.

Question d: 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).

train = (Weekly$Year<=2008)
test = Weekly[!train,]

glm.fit2 <- glm(Direction ~ Lag2, data=Weekly, subset=train, family="binomial")
glm.prob2 <- predict(glm.fit2, type="response", newdata=test)
glm.pred2 <- ifelse(glm.prob2>.5, "Up", "Down")
cmatrix2 <- table(test$Direction, glm.pred2)
cmatrix2
##       glm.pred2
##        Down Up
##   Down    9 34
##   Up      5 56
oa <- (cmatrix2["Down", "Down"] + cmatrix2["Up", "Up"])/sum(cmatrix2)

## oa  0.6250000
## oa2 0.6250000
## oa3 0.5865385
## oa4 0.5096154

Question h answer

models glm.fit2 oa from d and lda.fit oa2 from e

Question i: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.

qda.fit <- qda(Direction ~ Lag1+Lag2+Lag3+Lag4+Lag5+Volume, data=Weekly, subset=train)
qda.pred <- predict(qda.fit, test)

print( sum(qda.pred$class==test$Direction)/length(qda.pred$class))
## [1] 0.4326923
qda.fit <- qda(Direction ~ Lag1*Lag2*Lag3*Lag4*Lag5 + Volume, data=Weekly, subset=train)
qda.pred <- predict(qda.fit, test)

print( sum(qda.pred$class==test$Direction)/length(qda.pred$class))
## [1] 0.4134615

one of Questions i answers

its worse than using only the Lag2 predictor shown in g and the second time even worse.

lda.fit <- lda(Direction ~ Lag1*Lag2*Lag3*Lag4*Lag5 + Volume, data=Weekly, subset=train)
lda.pred <- predict(lda.fit, test)

print( sum(lda.pred$class==test$Direction)/length(lda.pred$class))
## [1] 0.4423077

Question i’s other answer

the lda is just as bad as when I ran qda the first time

Problem 11

Question a: 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.

mpg01 <- rep(0, length(Auto$mpg))
mpg01[Auto$mpg > median(Auto$mpg)] <- 1
Auto <- data.frame(Auto, mpg01)
