Q1: Consider the space shuttle data ?shuttle in the MASS library. Consider modeling the use of the autolander as the outcome (variable name use). Fit a logistic regression model with autolander (variable auto) use (labeled as “auto” 1) versus not (0) as predicted by wind sign (variable wind). Give the estimated odds ratio for autolander use comparing head winds, labeled as “head” in the variable headwind (numerator) to tail winds (denominator).

Q2: Consider the previous problem. Give the estimated odds ratio for autolander use comparing head winds (numerator) to tail winds (denominator) adjusting for wind strength from the variable magn.

The odds ratio is 0.968, meaning that when accounting for the magnitude of the wind velocity, it has little or no effect on the probability of using the autolander

Q3: If you fit a logistic regression model to a binary variable, for example use of the autolander, then fit a logistic regression model for one minus the outcome (not using the autolander) what happens to the coefficients?

##           Estimate Std. Error  z value  Pr(>|z|)

## windtail -0.2831263  0.1785510 -1.585689 0.1128099

The signs are reversed when you take 1 - the outcome.

Q4: Consider the insect spray data InsectSprays. Fit a Poisson model using spray as a factor level. Report the estimated relative rate comapring spray A (numerator) to spray B (denominator).

##         Estimate Std. Error   z value      Pr(>|z|)
## sprayA 2.6741486 0.07580980 35.274443 1.448048e-272

## [1] 0.9456522

So the relaive spray rate between Spray A and Spray B is 0.946

Q5: Consider a Poisson glm with an offset, t. So, for example, a model of the form glm(count ~ x + offset(t), family = poisson) where x is a factor variable comparing a treatment (1) to a control (0) and t is the natural log of a monitoring time. What is impact of the coefficient for x if we fit the model glm(count ~ x + offset(t2), family = poisson) where 2 <- log(10) + t? In other words, what happens to the coefficients if we change the units of the offset variable. (Note, adding log(10) on the log scale is multiplying by 10 on the original scale.)

## glm(formula = count ~ spray, family = poisson, data = InsectSprays,

Turns out, the intercept changes but the coefficients stay exactly the same.
