Chapter 12.4, Problem 12.25ACB
Characteristics of lead users. Refer to the Creativity and Innovation Management (February 2008) study of lead users of children’s computer games. Exercise 12.12. (p. 699). Recall that the researchers modeled lead-user rating (y, measured on a 5-point scale) as a
ŷ = 3.58 + .01x1 − .06x2 − .01x3 + .42x4.
- a. Compute the predicted lead-user rating of a 10-year-old female child with 5 direct ties to other peers in her social network and with 2 shortest paths between peers.
- b. Compute an estimate for the mean lead-user rating of all 8-year-old male children with 10 direct ties to other peers and with 4 shortest paths between peers.

Which of the following is true regarding a volcano plot?
Its visualization can only display the significantly up-regulated genes and is unable to indicate significantly down-regulated genes.
The p-value threshold for determining significantly up-regulated genes need not be the same as the threshold that determines significantly down-regulated genes.
Points with non-significant changes aren't displayed.
The x-axis displays log10-fold changes in gene expression.
In the method of regression, data sets are summarized in a useful form. The “independent” pieces of data are called inputs or regressors, whereas a quantity that is a function of the inputs, will be called a response. In an experiment, the effect of increasing storage temperature is related to the number of spoiled loaves of bread after 7 days. In this case, which variable will be the regressor?

- The following table contains statistics from a logistic regression analysis for a study on intravenous drug use among high school students in United States. Drug use is characterized as a dichotomous variable, where 1 indicates that an individual has injected drugs within the past year and 0 that he or she has not. Factors that might be related to drug use are instruction about the HIV in school (1 represents "had HIV education" and 0 represents "did not have HIV education"), age of the student (in years), and gender (1 represents male and 0 represents female). Statistics in the table are estimated coefficients of the logistic regression model and p-values for testing the significance of the coefficients.

For this reason, the company wants to understand the level of digital divide, measured by the total number of internet users in relation to total population, as a function of clients’ personal characteristics. Considering the following analysis based on a survey conducted in two main markets, Nigeria and Kenya, we have the following information to estimate the digital divide: Age: respondent’s age from 25 to 55 years old. Gender: 1 female, 0 male. Education level measured as years of schooling. Region: Kenya =1, Nigeria =0. As part of their work they have produced the following linear regression. How well does the model “describe/explain” the digital divide? How would you improve the model? Is the model statistically significant?arrow_forward

- A researcher wanted to find out whether IQ is a function of family size. The speculation was that among families with fewer children, each child receives more parental attention and intellectual stimulation and should therefore have higher IQs, than would a child reared in a larger family.

The IQs of all children were measured, and the two sample groups were compared.arrow_forwardWhich of these functions has a rate of change that is less than that of the linear function represented by the table of values below, and why?arrow_forwarda.
