Looking at the pairwise table, it’s hard to say if there is any patterns. So I created a correlation table and only found a correlation of 0.8419 between “Volume” and “Year”.

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?

glm.fits = glm(Direction~Lag1+Lag2+Lag3+Lag4+Lag5+Volume,family = "binomial", data=Weekly)

## 
## Number of Fisher Scoring iterations: 4

Out of all the predictors, it appears that only “Lag2” is statistically significant to predict whether the market had a positive or negative return on a given week.

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

glm.probs=predict(glm.fits,type="response")
glm.probs[1:10]
##         1         2         3         4         5         6         7

glm.pred=rep("Down",1089)
glm.pred[glm.probs>.5]="Up"
table(glm.pred,Direction)
##         Direction
## glm.pred Down  Up
##     Down   54  48
##     Up    430 557

By looking at the confusion matrix, we see that we don’t have the most accurate model. For example, this confusion matrix has produced 430 false positives. However, the matrix does accurately predict 557 true positives. Also, this models predicts correctly 56.11% of the time.

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).

train=(Year<2009)
Weekly.2009=Smarket[!train,]
dim(Weekly.2009)
## [1] 104   9
Direction.2009=Direction[!train]
glm.fits=glm(Direction~Lag2,data=Weekly.2009,family=binomial,subset=train)
glm.probs=predict(glm.fits,Weekly.2009,type="response")
glm.pred=rep("Down",104)
glm.pred[glm.probs>.5]="Up"
table(glm.pred,Direction.2009)
##         Direction.2009
## glm.pred Down Up
##     Down   13 15
##     Up     30 46
mean(glm.pred == Direction.2009)
## [1] 0.5673077

We see a an average accuracy of 56.73%.

e.) Repeat d.) using LDA

lda.fit=lda(Direction~Lag2,data=Weekly,subset=train)

##      Up     43 61
mean(lda.class==Direction.2009)
## [1] 0.5865385

We see a an average accuracy of 58.65%.

f.) Repeat d.) using QDA

qda.fit=qda(Direction~Lag2,data=Weekly,subset=train)
qda.fit
## Call:
## qda(Direction ~ Lag2, data = Weekly, subset = train)
## 
## Prior probabilities of groups:

##          Direction.2009
## qda.class Down Up
##      Down    0  0
##      Up     43 61
mean(qda.class==Direction.2009)
## [1] 0.5865385

We see a an average accuracy of 58.65%.

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

train.X=cbind(Lag2)[train,]
test.X=cbind(Lag2)[!train,]
train.Direction=Direction[train]
set.seed(1)
table(glm.pred,Direction.2009)
##         Direction.2009
## glm.pred Down Up
##     Down   13 15
##     Up     30 46

h.) Which of these methods appears to provide the best results on this data?

The LDA and QDA seems to have produced the most accurate tables.

Applied Problem #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.

mpg01 = rep(0, length(mpg))
mpg01[mpg > median.default(mpg)] = 1
Auto = data.frame(Auto, mpg01)

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.

corrplot(cor(Auto[,-9]), method="square")

By looking at the correlation tables, we can see some correlation between mgp01 and cylinders, displacement, horsepower, and weight.

c.) Split the data into a training set and a test set.

train = (year %% 2 == 0)
train.1 = Auto[train,]
test.1 = Auto[-train,]

d.) Perform LDA on the training data in order to predict mpg01 using the variables that seemed most associated with mpg01 in (b). What is the test error of the model obtained?

lda.fit1 = lda(mpg01~displacement+horsepower+weight+year+cylinders, data=train.1)
lda.pred1 = predict(lda.fit1, test.1)
table(lda.pred1$class, test.auto$mpg01)

mean(lda.pred1$class != test.1$mpg01)

e.) Perform QDA on the training data in order to predict mpg01 using the variables that seemed most associated with mpg01 in (b). What is the test error of the model obtained?

qda.fit1 = qda(mpg01~displacement+horsepower+weight+year+cylinders, data=train.1)
qda.pred1 = predict(qda.fit1, test.1)
table(qda.pred1$class, test.1$mpg01)

mean(qda.pred1$class != test.1$mpg01)

f.) Perform a Logistic Regression on the training data in order to predict mpg01 using the variables that seemed most associated with mpg01 in (b). What is the test error of the model obtained?

glm.fit1 = glm(mpg01~displacement+horsepower+weight+year+cylinders+origin, data=train.1,family=binomial)
glm.probs1 = predict(glm.fit1, test.1, type = "response")
glm.pred1 = rep(0, length(glm.probs1))
glm.pred1[glm.probs1 > 0.5] = 1
table(glm.pred1, test.1$mpg01)
mean(glm.pred1 != test.1$mpg01)

g.) Perform KNN on the training data, with several values of K, in order to predict mpg01. Use only the variables that seemed most associated with mpg01 in (b). What test errors do you obtain? Which value of K seems to perform the best on this data set?

train.X1= cbind(displacement,horsepower,weight,cylinders,year, origin)[train,]
test.X1=cbind(displacement,horsepower,weight,cylinders, year, origin)[-train,]
set.seed(1)
k.pred=knn(train.X1,test.X1,train.1$mpg01,k=1)
mean(k.pred != test.1$mpg01)
k.pred=knn(train.X1,test.X1,train.1$mpg01,k=5)
mean(k.pred != test.1$mpg01)
k.pred=knn(train.X1,test.X1,train.1$mpg01,k=10)
mean(k.pred != test.1$mpg01)

When k=1, it results with the lowest error rate. However, as k increase, we see the error also increase.
