Problem 1. We want to test the effect of light level and amount of water on the yield of tomato plants.
Each potted plant receives one of three levels of light (1 = 5 hours, 2 = 10 hours, 3 = 15 hours) and
one of two levels of water (1 = 1 quart, 2 = 2 quarts). The yield, in pounds, is recorded. The results
are as follows:
Yield Light Water Yield Light Water
12 1 1 20 2 2
9 1 1 16 2 2
8 1 1 16 2 2
13 1 2 18 3 1
15 1 2 25 3 1
16 1 2 20 3 1
16 2 1 25 3 2
14 2 1 27 3 2
12 2 1 29 3 2
Perform a multiple regression.

Problem 2. The following data responses y are generated from a regular Poisson model with a single
covariate variable x:
x y
0.4 1
0.6 0
0.8 6
1.0 6
1.2 7
1.4 9
(a) Please write down the Poisson model for this data set, stating all requirements.
(b) Calculate the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) βˆ
0 and βˆ
1 for β1 and β2, and then provide the
variance estimates for βˆ
0 and βˆ
1.
(c) The values of the linear predictor are 0.37, 0.77, 1.16, 1.56, 1.95, 2.34 for the 6 observations. Please
compute the deviance residuals and draw the index plot of deviance residuals.
(d) Draw a partial residual plot to study the linearity of the covariate variable x (show your calculation).
(e) The following is an incomplete “Analysis of Deviance Table” for testing H0 : β1 = 0 versus H1 : β1 ̸=
0. Please fill in the question marks. What is your conclusion of the test? Use the level of significance
α = 0.05.

Problem 3. Knight & Skagen (1988) collected the data shown in the table (and in data frame eagles)
during a field study on the foraging behavior of wintering Bald Eagles in Washington State, USA. The
data concern 160 attempts by one (pirating) Bald Eagle to steal a chum salmon from another (feeding)
Bald Eagle. The abbreviations used are
L = large S = small A = adult I = immature
Number of Total number Size of Age of Size of
successful attempts of attempts pirating eagle pirating eagle feeding eagle

Report on factors that explain the success of the pirating attempt and give a prediction formula for the
probability of success.

Problem 4. A marketing research firm was engaged by an automobile manufacturer to conduct a
pilot study to examine the feasibility of using logistic regression for ascertaining the likelihood that a
family will purchase a new car during the next year. A random sample of 33 suburban families was
selected. Data on annual family income (X1, in thousand dollars) and the current age of the oldest
family automobile (X2, in years) were obtained. A follow-up interview conducted 12 months later was
used to determine whether the family actually purchased a new car (Y = 1) or did not purchase a new
car (Y = 0) during the year.

(a) Find the maximum likelihood estimates of β0, β1, and β2. State the fitted response function.
(b) Obtain exp(β1) and exp(β2) and interpret these numbers.
(c) What is the estimated probability that a family with annual income of $50 thousand and an oldest
car of 3 years will purchase a new car next year?
(d) Obtain the deviance residuals and present them in an index plot. Do there appear to be any outlying
cases?

(e) Construct a half-normal probability plot of the absolute deviance residuals. Do any cases here appear to be outlying?

Problem 5. (This is a follow up question for homework 1, problem 3) Given the following data points:
-1.43 -0.95 -0.19 0.02 0.14 0.83 1.35 1.46 2.62
Compute the kernel density estimate ˆf(x) at point x = 0.05. Use the rectangular kernel K(t) with
binwidth h = 0.22. Here, K(t) = 1/2 if |t| ≤ 1, and it equals 0 if |t| > 1.
