Data science for Doctors: Inferential Statistics Exercises (part-3)
Data science enhances people’s decision making. Doctors and researchers are making critical decisions every day. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for those people to have some basic knowledge of data science. This series aims to help people that are around medical field to enhance their data science skills. We will work with a health related […]

One way MANOVA exercises
In ANOVA our interest lies in knowing if one continuous dependent variable is affected by one or more categorical independent variables. MANOVA is an extension of ANOVA where we are now able to understand how several dependent variables are affected by independent variables. For example consider an investigation where a medical investigator has developed 3 […]
Multiple Regression (Part 3) Diagnostics
In the exercises below we cover some more material on multiple regression diagnostics in R. This includes added variable (partial-regression) plots, component+residual (partial-residual) plots, CERES plots, VIF values, tests for heteroscedasticity (nonconstant variance), tests for Normality, and a test for autocorrelation of residuals. These are perhaps not as common as what we have seen in […]

Multiple Regression (Part 2) – Diagnostics
Multiple Regression is one of the most widely used methods in statistical modelling. However, despite its many benefits, it is oftentimes used without checking the underlying assumptions. This can lead to results which can be misleading or even completely wrong. Therefore, applying diagnostics to detect any strong violations of the assumptions is important. In the […]
Multiple Regression (Part 1)
In the exercises below we cover some material on multiple regression in R. Answers to the exercises are available here. If you obtained a different (correct) answer than those listed on the solutions page, please feel free to post your answer as a comment on that page. We will be using the dataset state.x77, which […]
Intermediate Tree 2
This is a continuation of the intermediate decision tree exercise. Answers to the exercises are available here. If you obtained a different (correct) answer than those listed on the solutions page, please feel free to post your answer as a comment on that page. Exercise 1 use the predict() command to make predictions on […]
