Initial Visualization
ggplot(diamonds, aes(cut,price)) + geom_boxplot()
ggplot(diamonds, aes(color,price)) + geom_boxplot()
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity,price)) + geom_boxplot()
ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat, price)) +
geom_hex(bins=50)
Subset Data and replot
diamonds2 <- diamonds %>%
filter(carat <= 2.5) %>%
mutate(lprice = log2(price), lcarat = log2(carat))
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(lcarat, lprice)) +
geom_hex(bins=50)
Simple model and visualization
mod_diamond <- lm(lprice ~ lcarat, data = diamonds2, na.action = na.warn)
grid <- diamonds2 %>%
data_grid(carat = seq_range(carat, 20)) %>%
mutate(lcarat = log2(carat)) %>%
add_predictions(mod_diamond, "lprice") %>%
mutate(price = 2 ^ lprice)
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(carat, price)) +
geom_hex(bins = 50) +
geom_line(data = grid, color = "green", size = 1)
Add residuals and plot
diamonds2 <- diamonds2 %>%
add_residuals(mod_diamond, "lresid")
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(lcarat, lresid)) +
geom_hex(bins = 50)
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(cut,lresid)) + geom_boxplot()
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(color,lresid)) + geom_boxplot()
ggplot(diamonds2, aes(clarity,lresid)) + geom_boxplot()
Four parameter model and visualization
mod_diamond2 <- lm(
lprice ~ lcarat + color + cut + clarity, diamonds2, na.action = na.warn

In the plot of lcarat vs. lprice, there are some bright vertical strips. What do they represent?
# Answer 1
# Since brighter color indicates higher count, the bright vertical strips mean that many of the dimonds are cut to a specific "carat". Those carats could be the most popular or the most common and hence a high count of diamonds have that value. Example - One of the bright line is at 1 carat or lcarat value 0 ( which is log of 1 to base 10)Question #2
If log(price) = a_0 + a_1 * log(carat), what does that say about the relationship between price and carat?
#Answer 2
#It says that the relationship between price and carat is linear with a positive slope. As carat increases, price also increasesQuestion #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 and answer question 3

# Yes, there seem to be pricing errors. The diamonds with lower clarity ook to be priced higherQuestion #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?
