Chapter 9 Re-Expressing data:
Get it Straight
Objectives:
? Re-expression of data ? Ladder of powers
Straight to the Point
? We cannot use a linear model unless the relationship between the two variables is linear. Often re-expression (transformation) can save the day, straightening bent relationships so that we can fit and use a simple linear model.
? Two simple ways to re-express data are with logarithms and reciprocals.
? Re-expressions can be seen in everyday life-- everybody does it.
Straight to the Point
? The relationship between fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) and weight (in pounds) for late model cars looks fairly linear at first:
Straight to the Point
? A look at the residuals plot shows a problem:
Straight to the Point
? We can re-express fuel efficiency as gallons per hundred miles (a reciprocal) and eliminate the bend in the original scatterplot:
Straight to the Point
? A look at the residuals plot for the new model seems more reasonable:
Goals of Re-expression
? Goal 1: Make the distribution of a variable (as seen in its histogram, for example) more symmetric. It's easier to summarize the center of a symmetric distribution, we can use the mean and standard deviation. If the distribution is unimodal also, we can analysis using the normal model. Here taking the log of the explanatory variable.
