QUESTION 10

This question should be answered using the Weekly data set, which is part of the ISLR package. This data is similar in nature to the Smarket data from this chapter’s lab, except that it contains 1,089 weekly returns for 21 years, from the beginning of 1990 to the end of 2010.

(a) Produce some numerical and graphical summaries of the Weekly data. Do there appear to be any patterns?

Using the cor() function we can see that there is almost no correlation among the variables. This is not a surprise given that there is no way to determine if the stock market will go up or down based on past returns. The Volume has increased (for the most part) over time but this is also not out of the ordinary.

(b) Use the full data set to perform a logistic regression with Direction as the response and the five lag variables plus Volume as predictors. Use the summary function to print the results. Do any of the predictors appear to be statistically significant? If so, which ones?

Lag2 appears to be the only predictor that is statistically significant.

(c) Compute the confusion matrix and overall fraction of correct predictions. Explain what the confusion matrix is telling you about the types of mistakes made by logistic regression.

The confusion matrix is showing the correct and incorrect predictions for each Direction. So the model guessed correctly 54+557=661 times and incorrectly 48+430=478 tmes.

(d) Now fit the logistic regression model using a training data period from 1990 to 2008, with Lag2 as the only predictor. Compute the confusion matrix and the overall fraction of correct predictions for the held out data (that is, the data from 2009 and 2010).

(g) Repeat (d) using KNN with K = 1.

(h) Which of these methods appears to provide the best results on this data? *LDA and logistic regression came out to the same accuracy predicion of 62.5%. QDA and KNN were lower at 58.7% and 50% respectively.

(i) Experiment with different combinations of predictors, including possible transformations and interactions, for each of the methods. Report the variables, method, and associated confusion matrix that appears to provide the best results on the held out data. Note that you should also experiment with values for K in the KNN classifier. I reran all the models using the Lag2:Lag1 interaction. The original logistic regression and LDA models still have the highest accuracy rates. While the KNN model still did not get close to the best accuracy of 62.5%, increasing the value of K to 100 did increase the method from 50% to 57.7% for K=100

QUESTION 11

(a) Create a binary variable, mpg01, that contains a 1 if mpg contains a value above its median, and a 0 if mpg contains a value below its median. You can compute the median using the median() function. Note you may find it helpful to use the data.frame() function to create a single data set containing both mpg01 and the other Auto variables.

(b) Explore the data graphically in order to investigate the association between mpg01 and the other features. Which of the other features seem most likely to be useful in predicting mpg01? Scatterplots and boxplots may be useful tools to answer this question. Describe your findings. When looking at the predictors graphically, I noticed that box plots were the best way to see the correlation between mpg01 and the other variables. The box plots show that there is a disctinct threshhold where a variables’ values cross the median mpg’s.

I decided to run the same 2 sets of predictors with each method. The first set of predictors I chose is: zn, indus, nox, rm, age, dis, rad, ptratio, black, lstat, medv and the second set is: nox, rad, medv, dis. Below are the results from each model Logistic Regression Results The first set of predictors provided a better model in this method.

cat("The logistic regression model results are", LR1, "for the first set of predictors and ", LR2, "for the second set.")
## The logistic regression model results are 0.875 for the first set of predictors and  0.8486842 for the second set.

LDA Results The second set of predictors provided a better model in this method

cat("The LDA model results are", LDA1, "for the first set of predictors and ", LDA2, "for the second set.")
## The LDA model results are 0.8815789 for the first set of predictors and  0.8947368 for the second set.

QDA Results Both sets of predictors provided the same results in this method

cat("The QDA model results are", QDA1, "for the first set of predictors and ", QDA2, "for the second set.")
## The QDA model results are 0.8947368 for the first set of predictors and  0.8815789 for the second set.

KNN Results For KNN, I ran each set of predictors for K=1 and K=10. The best result came back with the first set of predictors and K=1.

cat("The KNN for K=1 model results are", KNN1.1, "for the first set of predictors and ", KNN2.1, "for the second set.")
## The KNN for K=1 model results are 0.8421053 for the first set of predictors and  0.9144737 for the second set.
cat("The KNN for K=10 model results are", KNN1.10, "for the first set of predictors and ", KNN2.10, "for the second set.")
## The KNN for K=10 model results are 0.8947368 for the first set of predictors and  0.8486842 for the second set.
