Questiоn 2: Multiple Regressiоn Mоdel (17 points) 2а) (6 points) i) Using the dаtаset “trainData”, change the baseline for Heating_System_Type to "Solar". Use this baseline for all the models created in the exam ii) Using the dataset "trainData", perform a multiple linear regression to predict the monthly energy consumption using the predicting variables "Number_of_Rooms" and "Heating_System_Type". Call it model1. Display the summary. iii) How many model parameters are there? iv) Interpret the coefficient for the "Heating_System_TypeElectric" in the context of the problem. State any assumptions while interpreting the coefficient. v) How many residual degrees of freedom are there, and how are they calculated? 2b) (8 points) Create a full linear regression model using all the predictors in the dataset "trainData". Call it model2. Display the summary. i) What is the estimate of the error variance? Is it different than for model1, if yes why? ii) Interpret the coefficient corresponding to "Household_Size" in the context of the problem. State any assumptions while interpreting the coefficient. iii) Compare the R-squared and Adjusted R-squared values of the reduced and full models (model1 and model2). What do you observe? Explain the theoretical differences between R-squared and Adjusted R-squared. What does each measure? iv) Which coefficients are statistically insignificant at an alpha level of 0.01? Should we remove those coefficients from our model? Explain with reasoning. 2c) (3 points) Compare model1 and model2 using a partial F-test using an alpha level of 0.01? State your conclusion based on the test.

Questiоn 3: Mоdel Diаgnоstics (11 points) 3а) (4 points) Perform the following model diаgnostics on model2 (the full model). i) Check for constant variance. ii) Check for normality.  (Both QQplot and histogram are required to check this assumption).  For the QQplot, 95% confidence envelope should be plotted. Explain your findings based on the diagnostic plots. 3b) (7 points) Create a linear regression model named model3 that uses the log-transformed response variable. Include all predictors from the dataset trainData, and add an interaction term by multiplying the predictors: Household Size, Home Size, and Number of Rooms. Tip: Interaction term = Household Size* Home Size * Number of Rooms i) Is the interaction term statistically significant at an alpha level of 0.01? ii) Compare the R-squared and adjusted R-squared values of model2 and model3? iii) Perform the same model diagnostics (constant variance and normality assumption) on model3 as performed in Q3a on model2. Explain ways we can deal with constant variance and normality assumption in a model if they do not hold.
