Question:
Refer to the scenario in Problem 52 regarding the identification of movies that win the Best Picture Oscar. Apply a classification tree to classify observations as winning best picture or not by using Winner as the target (or response) variable. Use 100% of the data for training and validation
(do not use any data as a test set).
a. Train a pruned classification tree and report its AUC from a validation experiment.
b. Consider a 2023 movie A described by: OscarNominations = 14, GoldenGlobes = 3, Genre = drama and 2023 movie B described by: OscarNominations = 8, GoldenGlobes = 7, and Genre = drama. For a cutoff value of 0.5, how does the pruned tree classify each of these movies? Knowing that there is only one winner of the Best Picture Oscar each year, what does this suggest about using a cutoff value to classify movies?
c. What is the best way to use the model to predict the annual winner?
Problem 52
Each year, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes excellence in the film industry by honoring directors, actors, and writers with awards (called “Oscars”) in different categories. The most notable of these awards is the Oscar for Best Picture. Data has been collected on a sample of movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. The variables include total number of Oscar nominations across all award categories, number of Golden Globe awards won (the Golden Globe award show precedes the Academy Awards), the genre of the movie, and whether or not the movie won the Best Picture Oscar award.
Apply logistic regression with lasso regularization to classify winners of the Best Picture Oscar by using Winner as the target (or response) variable. Use 100% of the data for training and validation (do not use any data as a test set).
