Using the “cars” dataset in R, build a linear model for stopping distance as a function of speed and replicate the analysis of your textbook chapter 3 (visualization, quality evaluation of the model, and residual analysis.)

visualization

plot(cars[,"speed"],cars[,"dist"], xlab="Speed", ylab="Distance")

cars_lm <- lm(cars$dist ~ cars$speed)
plot(cars$speed, cars$dist, main = "Comparsion between speed and distance of cars", xlab = "Speed", ylab="Distance")
abline(cars_lm)

Quality Evaluation of the Model

cars_lm <- lm(cars$dist ~ cars$speed)
cars_lm

## 
## Call:
## lm(formula = cars$dist ~ cars$speed)
## 
## Coefficients:
## (Intercept)   cars$speed  
##     -17.579        3.932

In this case, the y-intercept is a0 = -17.579 and the slope is a1 = 3.932.

Thus, the final regression model is: Distance = -17.579 + 3.932 x Speed

Residual Analysis

plot(fitted(cars_lm),resid(cars_lm))

qqnorm(resid(cars_lm))
qqline(resid(cars_lm))

Q-Q plot are not uniformly scattered and have deviation at lower and quantiles. The residual Analysis does not show randomly.
