Coefficient of determination R2

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination.
    • R2 is expressed as the ratio of the explained variance to the total variance.
    • It is a statistical measure of how well the regression predictions approximate the real data points.
    • See the wikipedia page for a list of caveats of R2 including correlation does not imply causation.

lm(y ~ x1 + x2) |> summary() # x2 insig
lm(y~ x2) |> summary()       # x2 sig

set.seed(3)

cor(x1, x3) # 1
lm(y ~ x1 + x3) |> summary() # both insig. SURPRISE!
lm(y ~ x1) |> summary()

x4 <- x1                     # x4 is exactly equal to x1

Confidence interval vs prediction interval

Confidence intervals tell you about how well you have determined the mean E(Y). Prediction intervals tell you where you can expect to see the next data point sampled. That is, CI is computed using Var(E(Y|X)) and PI is computed using Var(E(Y|X) + e).

Mahalanobis distance and outliers detection

Mahalanobis distance

  • The Mahalanobis distance is a measure of the distance between a point P and a distribution D
  • It is a multi-dimensional generalization of the idea of measuring how many standard deviations away P is from the mean of D.
  • The Mahalanobis distance is thus unitless and scale-invariant, and takes into account the correlations of the data set.
  • Distance is not always what it seems

performance::check_outliers() Outliers detection (check for influential observations)

How to Calculate Mahalanobis Distance in R 

set.seed(1234)
x <- matrix(rnorm(200), nc=10)
x0 <- rnorm(10)
mu <- colMeans(x)
mahalanobis(x0, colMeans(x), var(x)) # 17.76527
t(x0-mu) %*% MASS::ginv(var(x)) %*% (x0-mu) # 17.76527

# Variance is not full rank
x <- matrix(rnorm(200), nc=20)
x0 <- rnorm(20)
mu <- colMeans(x)
t(x0-mu) %*% MASS::ginv(var(x)) %*% (x0-mu)
mahalanobis(x0, colMeans(x), var(x))

How to interpret the interaction term

how to interpret the interaction term in lm formula in R? If both x1 and x2 are numerical, then x1:x2 is actually x1*x2 in computation. That is y ~ x1 + x2 + x1:x2 is equivalent to y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 where x3 = x1*x2. The cross is literally the two terms multiplied -- interpretation will largely depend on whether var1 and var2 are both continuous (quite hard to interpret, in my opinion) or whether one of these is e.g. binary categorical (easier to consider.)

Intercept only model and cross-validation

n <- 20
set.seed(1)
x <- rnorm(n)
y <- 2*x + .5*rnorm(n)
plot(x, y)
df <- data.frame(x=x, y=y)
pred <- double(n)
for(i in 1:n) {
  fit <- lm(y ~ 1, data = df[-i, ])
  pred[i] <- predict(fit, df[i, ])
}
plot(y, pred)
cor(y, pred) # -1

How about 1000 simulated data? 

foo <- function(n=3, debug=F) {
  x <- rnorm(n)
  y <- 2*x + .5*rnorm(n)
  df <- data.frame(x=x, y=y)
  pred <- double(n)
  for(i in 1:n) {
    fit <- lm(y ~ 1, data = df[-i, ])
    pred[i] <- predict(fit, df[i, ])
  }
  if (debug) {
    cat("num=", n*sum(y*pred)-sum(pred)*sum(y), "\n")
    cat("denom=", sqrt(n*sum(y**2) - sum(y)^2)*sqrt(n*sum(pred**2)-sum(pred)^2), "\n")
    invisible(list(y=y, pred=pred, cor=cor(y, pred)))
  } else {
    cor(y, pred)
  }
}

o <- replicate(1000, foo(n=10))
range(o) # [1] -1 -1
all.equal(o, rep(-1, 1000)) # TRUE

Isotonic regression

Piecewise linear regression

Support vector regression

  • An Introduction to Support Vector Regression (SVR).
    • The goal of SVR is to find a function that approximates the relationship between the input and output variables in the training data, with an acceptable amount of error. This is done by mapping the input data into a high-dimensional feature space using a kernel function, and then finding a linear regression function in that space that fits the data with a specified margin of error.
    • SVR has been proven to be an effective tool in real-value function estimation, and like SVM, it is characterized by the use of kernels, sparse solution, and VC control of the margin and the number of support vectors.

Causal inference

  • The intuition behind inverse probability weighting in causal inference*, Confounding in causal inference: what is it, and what to do about it?
    Outcome [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} Y = T*Y(1) + (1-T)*Y(0) \end{align} }[/math]
    Causal effect (unobserved) [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \tau = E(Y(1) -Y(0)) \end{align} }[/math]
    where [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y(1)] }[/math] referred to the expected outcome in the hypothetical situation that everyone in the population was assigned to treatment, [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y|T=1] }[/math] refers to the expected outcome for all individuals in the population who are actually assigned to treatment... The key is that the value of [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y|T=1]−E[Y|T=0] }[/math] is only equal to the causal effect, [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y(1)−Y(0)] }[/math] if there are no confounders present.
    Inverse-probability weighting removes confounding by creating a “pseudo-population” in which the treatment is independent of the measured confounders... Add a larger weight to the individuals who are underrepresented in the sample and a lower weight to those who are over-represented... propensity score P(T=1|X), logistic regression, stabilized weights.

Seemingly unrelated regressions/SUR

  • Seemingly unrelated regressions from wikipedia
    • Advantages: The SUR model is useful when the error terms of the regression equations are correlated with each other. In this case, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator is inefficient and inconsistent. The SUR model can provide more efficient and consistent estimates of the regression coefficients
    • Disadvantages: One disadvantage of using the SUR model is that it requires the assumption that the error terms are correlated across equations. If this assumption is not met, then the SUR model may not provide more efficient estimates than estimating each equation separately1. Another disadvantage of using the SUR model is that it can be computationally intensive and may require more time to estimate than estimating each equation separately
