Consider the following estimated model, where the dependent variable is the log of the hourly wage:
log(wage) = 0.417 - 0.238female + 0.17educ + 0.0232 exper - 0.00058exper? +0.0295tenure – 0.00059tenure?
female
1 if the person is female, and 0 if the person is male
educ = level of education, in years
exper = level of expertise, in years
tenure = duration of tenure, in years
Given that the above regression model has 313 observations, then its degrees of freedom is equal to
For the same levels of education, expertise, and tenure, women earn exactly
% less compared to
men, holding other factors fixed.
Table 4.18 shows estimated effects for a fitted logistic regression model with squamous cell esophageal cancer (1 = yes, 0 = no) as the response variable Y. Smoking status (S) equals 1 for at least one pack per day and 0 other- wise, alcohol consumption (A) equals the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed per day, and race (R) equals 1 for blacks and 0 for whites.
A. To describe the race-by-smoking interaction, construct the prediction equation when R = 1 and again when R = 0. Find the fitted YS conditional odds ratio for each case. Similarly, construct the prediction equation when S = 1 and again when S = 0. Find the fitted YR conditional odds ratio for each case. Note that, for each association, the coefficient of the cross-product term is the difference between the log odds ratios at the two fixed levels for the other variable.
B. In Table 4.18, explain what the coefficients of R and S represent, for the coding as given above. What hypotheses do the P -values refer to for…

- Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.
