In the plot of lcarat vs. lprice, there are some bright vertical strips. What do they represent?
Those are diamonds that have much higher value than the others that are classified as similar “cut style”. In general, these diamonds are the ones that have standard weights or exact whole number weights, such as 1 cara, 2 caras. We can see these as “Outliers”
Question #2
If log(price) = a_0 + a_1 * log(carat), what does that say about the relationship between price and carat?
It shows that the price of the diamond is completely dependent on the carat. It is a perfect linear relationship.
Question #3
Extract the diamonds that have very high and very low residuals. Is there anything unusual about these diamonds? Are they particularly bad or good, or do you think these are pricing errors?
# Use this chunk to place your code for extracting the high and low residuals
mod <- lm(lprice ~ lcarat + color + clarity + cut, data = diamonds2)
diamonds2 %>%
filter(abs(lresid2) > 1) %>%
add_predictions(mod_diamond2) %>%
mutate(carat = round(2 ^carat)) %>%
select(price, carat, lresid2) %>%
arrange(price)## # A tibble: 16 x 3

## 15 10011 2 1.31
## 16 10470 6 -1.17no strong patterns. The price of diamond does not follow a standard rule.
Question #4
Does the final model, mod_diamonds2, do a good job of predicting diamond prices? Would you trust it to tell you how much to spend if you were buying a diamond and why?
# Use this chunk to place your code for assessing how well the model predicts diamond prices
diamonds2_pred <- diamonds2 %>%
add_predictions(mod_diamond) %>%
mutate(pred_price = 2 ^pred, diff = pred_price - price)
ggplot(diamonds2_pred, aes(pred_price, price)) + geom_point() + geom_abline(intercept = 0, slope = 1)
There is some pattern in the graph but the model does not do a good job predicting the price.
