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” assignment to your R Pubs account and submit the link to Moodle. Points will be deducted for uploading the improper format.

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.
library(dplyr)
## 
## Attaching package: 'dplyr'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     filter, lag
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
## 
##     intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
library(ggplot2)
library(datasets)
data <- anscombe
print(data)

  1. Summarise the data by calculating the mean, variance, for each column and the correlation between each pair (eg. x1 and y1, x2 and y2, etc) (Hint: use the fBasics() package!)
Mean <- apply (data, 2, mean)
print(Mean)
##       x1       x2       x3       x4       y1       y2       y3       y4 
## 9.000000 9.000000 9.000000 9.000000 7.500909 7.500909 7.500000 7.500909
Variance <- apply(data, 2, var)
print (Variance)
##        x1        x2        x3        x4        y1        y2        y3        y4 
## 11.000000 11.000000 11.000000 11.000000  4.127269  4.127629  4.122620  4.123249
Corelation <- cor(data[, 1:4], data[, 5:8])
Corelation <- c(Corelation[1, 1], Corelation[2, 2], Corelation[3, 3], Corelation[4, 4])
print (Corelation)
## [1] 0.8164205 0.8162365 0.8162867 0.8165214
  1. Create scatter plots for each \(x, y\) pair of data.
plot(data$x1, data$y1, xlab="x1", ylab= "y1")

plot(data$x2, data$y3, xlab="x2", ylab= "y2")

plot(data$x3, data$y3, xlab="x3", ylab= "y3")

plot(data$x4, data$y4, xlab="x4", ylab= "y4")


4. Now change the symbols on the scatter plots to solid circles and plot them together as a 4 panel graphic


```r
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
plot(data$x1, data$y1, xlab="x1", ylab= "y1", pch = 16)
plot(data$x2, data$y3, xlab="x2", ylab= "y2", pch = 16)
plot(data$x3, data$y3, xlab="x3", ylab= "y3", pch = 16)
plot(data$x4, data$y4, xlab="x4", ylab= "y4", pch = 16)

  1. Now fit a linear model to each data set using the lm() function.
lm1 <- lm(data$y1 ~ data$x1)
lm2 <- lm(data$y2 ~ data$x2)
lm3 <- lm(data$y3 ~ data$x3)
lm4 <- lm(data$y4 ~ data$x4)
  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))
with(data, plot(x1, y1, pch = 16))
abline(lm1)
with(data, plot(x2, y2, pch = 16))
abline(lm2)
with(data, plot(x3, y3, pch = 16))
abline(lm3)
with(data, plot(x4, y4, pch = 16))
abline(lm4)

  1. Now compare the model fits for each model object.
summary(lm1)$adj.r.squared
## [1] 0.6294916
summary(lm2)$adj.r.squared
## [1] 0.6291578
summary(lm3)$adj.r.squared
## [1] 0.6292489
summary(lm4)$adj.r.squared
## [1] 0.6296747
  1. In text, summarize the lesson of Anscombe’s Quartet and what it says about the value of data visualization.

Anscombe’s Quartet dataset shows us that even though certain properties of a data very similar to each other and other statistical properties may vary vastly. We can utilize visualization tools to identify these differnces and obtain better understanding when comparing datasets.
