In the plot of lcarat vs. lprice, there are some bright vertical strips. What do they represent?
Answer: The bright vertical strips comprise of bright dots, which represent high counts of diamond. It suggests that those specific carat numbers are popular on the market, with the most numbers being sold, which could be a useful indicator to jewelery makers. At the same carat, the diamonds’ price would vary because of the differences on other factors such as clarity, color, and cut, thus forming the vertical strips.
Question #2
If log(price) = a_0 + a_1 * log(carat), what does that say about the relationship between price and carat?
Answer: It suggests that the log of carat and log of price have a linear relationship. The positive value of a_1 suggests that the correlation is positive, i.e., price increases when carat increases.
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?
Answer: When comparing the residual plots of lresid vs. lcarat, cut, clarity, and color, we can see that cut has the smallest impact on residual distribution, with all cut types of “fair”, “good”, “Very Good”, “Premium”, and “Ideal” sharing almost the same threshold of residual distribution, and outliers concentrating on lresid >0.5 or <-0.5 ranges.
We thereby extract the data with lresid value >0.5 or <-0.5, eliminate the “cut” factor, and plot the price against color and clarity to see if the pricing makes sense.
The plot clearly shows that the higher the clarity is, the more likely the diamonds are priced high (with high residuals); vice versa. It makes logical sense since high clarity diamonds are highly sought after.
# Use this chunk to place your code for extracting the high and low residuals and answer question 3
diamonds_high <- diamonds2 %>%
filter(lresid > 0.5)
diamonds_low <- diamonds2 %>%
filter(lresid < -0.5)
diamonds_high %>%
ggplot(aes(color, price))+
geom_boxplot()+
ggtitle("Diamonds with high residuals")+
facet_grid(~clarity)
diamonds_low %>%
ggplot(aes(color, price))+
geom_boxplot()+
ggtitle("Diamonds with low residuals")+
facet_grid(~clarity)
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?
Answer: In order to test if mod_diamonds2 does a good job of predicting diamond prices, we summarize the model and conclude that the model has significant statistical significance with p-values <0.01, and R-square >0.98, which suggests that more than 98% of data are explained by the model.
We then compare the predicted and actual values using below plot and find that the actual prices are evenly distributed along both sides of the predicted line. It looks to me that it is a reliable and trustworthy model on determining diamond price.
