    Alexa Leach
    This document describes Practical 1 for the course STA1008S. Students are given a dataset measuring water temperature and amount and must complete two tasks: 1) fit a regression model to the data and analyze residuals, and 2) write a report analyzing the model. The report should include sections on the background, method, results, analysis, and conclusion and be no more than 5 pages. Students are provided an Excel file to perform computations and analyze the regression model.

    Practical 1 STA1008S 2014


    This document describes Practical 1 in STA1008S.

    1 Data
    1.1 Submission and compilation of data
    Your group will have submitted a small dataset generated during a lab
    consisting of mixing different amounts of water at different temperatures, all
    measured by the group. The data sets from the groups has been compiled by
    the course team into a single excel file available on Vula, under the name
    Practical 1.xlsx.

    1.2 Tasks
    You are to complete two main tasks:
    1. Fit a regression model to the data in Practical 1.xlsx, compute the
    residuals and check the adequacy of the model using a normal
    probability plot of the residuals and a plot of residuals versus predicted
    values.
    2. Report on the regression model in a written report, including the
    adequacy check (the two plots). You should comment on the plots to
    the best of your ability, but not ramble.
    1.2.1 Fit a regression model, compute and analyse the residuals
    An empty excel spreadsheet is provided on Vula, named Analysis of Practical
    1.xlsx. This file already contains everything you need to complete the
    necessary computations. All you need to do is to paste the data correctly into
    this file. Use this file to complete the necessary computations, if you wish. Note
    that you will have to copy, paste and sort the residuals appropriately to
    obtain the plots.
    You may also use any software that is capable of fitting a multiple linear
    regression model and provide a normal probability plot of residuals as well as
    a plot of residuals versus predicted values. You will also need to compute the
    coefficient of multiple determination to satisfactorily analyse the fitted model.
    1.2.2 The report
    The report for Practical 1 is due on Tuesday 7 October at 08:00. It may be
    submitted at the Department of Statistics Reception prior to that time, or to
    the lecturer directly only during the 15 minute period preceeding the 08:00
    lecture on the day. Each student must submit an individual report.
    The report should be no longer than 5 pages including title page and
    declaration of non-plagiarism page. The title page must include your name,
    student number and degree programme.
    2 STA1008S 2014 PRACTICAL 1

    Do not include a table of contents. You should use the following heading
    structure:
    Background
    Describe the experiment briefly and describe the data that was generated
    (do not copy and paste the whole data set into your report).
    Method
    Describe the response variable and regressor variables as well as the model
    that is going to be fit to the data.
    Results
    Give the resulting fitted model, the residual plots and the coefficient of
    multiple determination.
    Analysis
    Compare the model to the theoretical results obtained for your group. This
    comparison is not prepared in the supplied spreadsheet on Vula. Comment
    on the residual plots and coefficient of multiple determination, clearly
    expressing any concerns you might have about the model adequacy.
    Conclusion
    Write your conclusion regarding the results of the regression analysis you just
    performed.
