True or False: And explain why in a few sentences

8. If you are modeling the weight of people in a clinical study, the R2 from regressing the weight in kilograms on age, height, gender, & dietary habits will be the same as when you record the weight in pounds and regress it on these variables.

Answer #1

Changes of units will not affect the goodness of fit of your model, its out of sample predictive accuracy, nor will it make you more or less likely to overfit

Therefore r square will be the same.

    Please answer True/False and explain why. Consider a modeling exercise that has 20 possible predictor variables. You apply both forward and backward variable selection based on AIC. Both variable selection methods will always return exactly the same model, i.e. both variable selection algorithms will select the same set of predictor variables.

    True/False, & explain why in one or two sentences: 4. In the equation c = α + i + u, c denotes consumption and i denotes income. The residual for the 5th observation if c5 =$865 and ^c5 =$890 is 20. 5. The sum of squared residuals (SSR) in a regression analysis is 623.5 and the total sum of squares (SST) is equal to 751.85. The R2 is therefore equal to 0.24. 6. The value of R2 always lies between...
