Q3. You are asked to use a linear model (e.g. using R's lm() function) to analyse whether Conductivity (units = micro S / cm ), in authority 25 , varies between four specific regions (labelled by the numbers: 1755, 1753, 1754, 1756 )
To fit this model you should:
1.Create a subset that contains data for only regions 1755, 1753, 1754, 1756 from authority 25
2.Transform the variable Conductivity using a power transformation with an exponent of 0.2
3.Fit a linear model with a response variable that is the power transformed Conductivity and an explanatory variable that is a single fixed factor which distinguishes between the four regions
From this analysis the estimated difference in the response variable between region 1753 and region 1755 is -0.23 (e.g. using the summary() function). What is the standard error for this estimate?
Q4. You are asked to use a linear model (e.g. using R's lm() function) to analyse whether Conductivity (units = micro S / cm ), in authority 7 , varies between four specific regions (labelled by the numbers: 293, 297, 295, 296 )
To fit this model you should:
1.Create a subset that contains data for only regions 293, 297, 295, 296 from authority 7
2.Transform the variable Conductivity using a power transformation with an exponent of 0.1
3.Fit a linear model with a response variable that is the power transformed Conductivity and an explanatory variable that is a single fixed factor which distinguishes between the four regions
The residual sum of squares from this analysis is 0.71 (e.g. using R's anova() function). What is the estimate for the F-ratio?
