Problem

Statistical models are a cheap and quick way to make predictions about real-world situations.

(a) Give one other reason why statistical models are used.

(1)

Madison wants to develop a model to describe the relationship between the average daily temperature, tCt\,^\circ\text{C}, and a household’s daily gas consumption, dm3d\,\text{m}^3, in winter. Madison takes a random sample of 1212 days in winter and codes the daily gas consumption so that w=11.5dw=11.5d. These data are summarised as follows

Stt=26.43,Stw=91.55,w=339.25,t=9.1,w2=10036.45.\begin{align*} S_{tt}=&\,26.43,\qquad S_{tw}=-91.55,\\[2mm] \sum w=&\,339.25,\qquad \sum t=9.1,\\[2mm] \sum w^2=&\,10\,036.45. \end{align*}

(b) Show that Sww=445.57S_{ww}=445.57 to 22 decimal places.

(1)

(c) Find the value of StdS_{td} and the value of SddS_{dd}.

(3)

(d) Find the product moment correlation coefficient between dd and tt.

(2)

(e) Give an interpretation, in context, of your product moment correlation coefficient.

(1)

(f) Show that the equation of the regression line of ww on tt is

w=3.46t+30.9w=-3.46t+30.9

where the values of the intercept and the gradient are given to 33 significant figures.

(3)

(g) Write down an equation of the regression line of dd on tt.

(1)

(h) Using your equation in part (g)

(i) estimate the daily gas consumption in winter when the temperature is 2C2\,^\circ\text{C}

(ii) interpret the effect an increase of 1C1\,^\circ\text{C} in average daily temperature is expected to have on the daily gas consumption in winter.

解答

(a)

思路

展开

题目已经说了 statistical models 可以 cheap、quick、make predictions,所以答案不能只重复这些。可以说模型帮助理解、简化真实世界,或展示变量之间的关系。

答题过程

展开

Statistical models can be used to show relationships between variables.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

Sww=w2(w)2n.\begin{align*} S_{ww}=\sum w^2-\frac{(\sum w)^2}{n}. \end{align*}

题目给了 w2\sum w^2w\sum wn=12n=12

答题过程

展开 Sww=w2(w)2n=10036.45(339.25)212=10036.459590.878=445.571.\begin{align*} S_{ww} =&\,\sum w^2-\frac{(\sum w)^2}{n}\\[3mm] =&\,10036.45-\frac{(339.25)^2}{12}\\[3mm] =&\,10036.45-9590.878\ldots\\[3mm] =&\,445.571\ldots. \end{align*}

So

Sww=445.57\begin{align*} S_{ww}=445.57 \end{align*}

to 22 decimal places.

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

因为 w=11.5dw=11.5d,所以 d=w11.5d=\dfrac{w}{11.5}。协方差型的 SS 会随其中一个变量除以 11.511.5 而除以 11.511.5;方差型的 SS 会随变量除以 11.511.5 而除以 11.5211.5^2

答题过程

展开

Since

w=11.5d,\begin{align*} w=11.5d, \end{align*}

we have

d=w11.5.\begin{align*} d=\frac{w}{11.5}. \end{align*}

Therefore

Std=Stw11.5=91.5511.5=7.9608.\begin{align*} S_{td} =&\,\frac{S_{tw}}{11.5}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{-91.55}{11.5}\\[3mm] =&\,-7.9608\ldots. \end{align*}

Also,

Sdd=Sww(11.5)2=445.571132.25=3.3691.\begin{align*} S_{dd} =&\,\frac{S_{ww}}{(11.5)^2}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{445.571\ldots}{132.25}\\[3mm] =&\,3.3691\ldots. \end{align*}

So

Std=7.96,Sdd=3.37\begin{align*} S_{td}=-7.96,\qquad S_{dd}=3.37 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

解法二

思路

展开

公式推导法。直接利用样本共变异数和样本方差的定义式,通过代数代换,严格证明编码转换的关系:

Std=(ttˉ)(ddˉ)=(ttˉ)(w11.5wˉ11.5)=111.5Stw\begin{align*} S_{td} = \sum(t-\bar{t})(d-\bar{d}) = \sum(t-\bar{t})\left(\frac{w}{11.5}-\frac{\bar{w}}{11.5}\right) = \frac{1}{11.5}S_{tw} \end{align*}

Sdd=(ddˉ)2=(w11.5wˉ11.5)2=111.52Sww\begin{align*} S_{dd} = \sum(d-\bar{d})^2 = \sum\left(\frac{w}{11.5}-\frac{\bar{w}}{11.5}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{11.5^2}S_{ww} \end{align*}

最后代入已知的 StwS_{tw}SwwS_{ww} 求解。这种方法能使学生更深刻地理解统计量在受线性变换(Coding)时的代数变化规律。

答题过程

展开

By definition, the coded value is d=w11.5d = \frac{w}{11.5}. Thus, the mean of dd is dˉ=wˉ11.5\bar{d} = \frac{\bar{w}}{11.5}.

For StdS_{td}:

Std=(ttˉ)(ddˉ)=(ttˉ)(w11.5wˉ11.5)=111.5(ttˉ)(wwˉ)=Stw11.5=91.5511.5=7.9608\begin{align*} S_{td} =&\,\, \sum(t-\bar{t})(d-\bar{d})\\[3mm] =&\,\, \sum(t-\bar{t})\left(\frac{w}{11.5} - \frac{\bar{w}}{11.5}\right)\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{1}{11.5}\sum(t-\bar{t})(w-\bar{w})\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{S_{tw}}{11.5}\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{-91.55}{11.5}\\[3mm] =&\,\, -7.9608\ldots \end{align*}

For SddS_{dd}:

Sdd=(ddˉ)2=(w11.5wˉ11.5)2=111.52(wwˉ)2=Sww11.52=445.571132.25=3.3691\begin{align*} S_{dd} =&\,\, \sum(d-\bar{d})^2\\[3mm] =&\,\, \sum\left(\frac{w}{11.5} - \frac{\bar{w}}{11.5}\right)^2\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{1}{11.5^2}\sum(w-\bar{w})^2\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{S_{ww}}{11.5^2}\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{445.571\ldots}{132.25}\\[3mm] =&\,\, 3.3691\ldots \end{align*}

Therefore,

Std=7.96,Sdd=3.37\begin{align*} S_{td}=-7.96,\qquad S_{dd}=3.37 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

(d)

解法一

思路

展开

PMCC 公式是

r=StdSttSdd.\begin{align*} r=\frac{S_{td}}{\sqrt{S_{tt}S_{dd}}}. \end{align*}

用上一小题的 StdS_{td}SddS_{dd},以及题目给的 Stt=26.43S_{tt}=26.43

答题过程

展开 r=StdSttSdd=7.960826.43(3.3691)=0.8436.\begin{align*} r =&\,\frac{S_{td}}{\sqrt{S_{tt}S_{dd}}}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{-7.9608\ldots}{\sqrt{26.43(3.3691\ldots)}}\\[3mm] =&\,-0.8436\ldots. \end{align*}

Therefore

r=0.844\begin{align*} r=-0.844 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

(e)

解法一

思路

展开

rr 是负数,而且接近 1-1,表示较强的负相关。结合题目语境:温度越高,冬天每天的 gas consumption 越低。

答题过程

展开

There is a strong negative correlation.

As the average daily temperature increases, the daily gas consumption in winter tends to decrease.

(f)

解法一

思路

展开

回归线 ww on tt 的斜率是

b=StwStt.\begin{align*} b=\frac{S_{tw}}{S_{tt}}. \end{align*}

截距用

a=wˉbtˉ.\begin{align*} a=\bar{w}-b\bar{t}. \end{align*}

其中 wˉ=w12\bar{w}=\dfrac{\sum w}{12}tˉ=t12\bar{t}=\dfrac{\sum t}{12}

答题过程

展开

The gradient is

b=StwStt=91.5526.43=3.464.\begin{align*} b =&\,\frac{S_{tw}}{S_{tt}}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{-91.55}{26.43}\\[3mm] =&\,-3.464\ldots. \end{align*}

Also,

wˉ=339.2512,tˉ=9.112.\begin{align*} \bar{w}=\frac{339.25}{12},\qquad \bar{t}=\frac{9.1}{12}. \end{align*}

So the intercept is

a=wˉbtˉ=339.2512(3.464)9.112=30.897.\begin{align*} a =&\,\bar{w}-b\bar{t}\\[3mm] =&\,\frac{339.25}{12} -(-3.464\ldots)\frac{9.1}{12}\\[3mm] =&\,30.897\ldots. \end{align*}

Therefore the regression line is

w=3.464t+30.897=3.46t+30.9\begin{align*} w=&\,-3.464\ldots t+30.897\ldots\\[3mm] =&\,-3.46t+30.9 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

(g)

解法一

思路

展开

因为 w=11.5dw=11.5d,所以 d=w11.5d=\dfrac{w}{11.5}。把上一小题的回归方程整体除以 11.511.5 即可。

答题过程

展开

Since

w=11.5d,\begin{align*} w=11.5d, \end{align*}

we divide the regression equation by 11.511.5:

d=3.46t+30.911.5=0.301t+2.69.\begin{align*} d =&\,\frac{-3.46t+30.9}{11.5}\\[3mm] =&\,-0.301t+2.69. \end{align*}

An equation of the regression line of dd on tt is

d=0.301t+2.69.\begin{align*} d=-0.301t+2.69. \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

公式基本计算法。不通过 ww on tt 的回归方程做代数转换,而是直接利用 (c) 中计算得到的 StdS_{td},以及回归方程参数公式:

bd=StdStt,ad=dˉbdtˉ\begin{align*} b_d = \frac{S_{td}}{S_{tt}},\qquad a_d = \bar{d} - b_d\bar{t} \end{align*}

重新从头计算回归系数的斜率与截距,并验证结果。

答题过程

展开

Calculate the gradient bdb_d of the regression line of dd on tt:

bd=StdStt=7.960826.43=0.3012\begin{align*} b_d =&\,\, \frac{S_{td}}{S_{tt}}\\[3mm] =&\,\, \frac{-7.9608\ldots}{26.43}\\[3mm] =&\,\, -0.3012\ldots \end{align*}

Calculate the sample means of dd and tt:

dˉ=wˉ11.5=339.25/1211.52.4583\begin{align*} \bar{d} = \frac{\bar{w}}{11.5} = \frac{339.25/12}{11.5} \approx 2.4583\ldots \end{align*} tˉ=9.1120.7583\begin{align*} \bar{t} = \frac{9.1}{12} \approx 0.7583\ldots \end{align*}

Calculate the intercept ada_d:

ad=dˉbdtˉ=2.4583(0.3012)(0.7583)=2.4583+0.2284=2.6867\begin{align*} a_d =&\,\, \bar{d} - b_d\bar{t}\\[3mm] =&\,\, 2.4583\ldots - (-0.3012\ldots)(0.7583\ldots)\\[3mm] =&\,\, 2.4583\ldots + 0.2284\ldots\\[3mm] =&\,\, 2.6867\ldots \end{align*}

So the regression line equation is:

d=0.3012t+2.6867=0.301t+2.69\begin{align*} d =&\,\, -0.3012\ldots t + 2.6867\ldots\\[3mm] =&\,\, -0.301t + 2.69 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

when t=2t=2,

d=0.301(2)+2.69=2.088.\begin{align*} d =&\,-0.301(2)+2.69\\[3mm] =&\,2.088\ldots. \end{align*}

The estimated daily gas consumption is

2.09 m3.\begin{align*} 2.09\text{ m}^3. \end{align*}

(h)(ii)

展开

回归线斜率约为 0.301-0.301。这表示温度每增加 1C1\,^\circ\text{C},预测的 daily gas consumption 减少约 0.301 m30.301\text{ m}^3

For each increase of 1C1\,^\circ\text{C} in average daily temperature, the daily gas consumption is expected to decrease by about

0.301 m3.\begin{align*} 0.301\text{ m}^3. \end{align*}
