Do a simple regression analysis of the early phase data from Table D-10, Appendix D. Compute the Studentized residuals ri or r−i, leverage values, and Cook’s distances for the residuals from this regression fit.Are there any values with high leverage? If so, are these points actually
In Problem 3.10, you analyzed the relationship between two methods of measuring the hormone inhibin. The new RIA method was compared against a standard bioassay method in two phases of the ovarian cycle.Suppose that the last two bioassay determinations of inhibin in the midluteal phase (the last
Certain kinds of bacteria, known as thermophilic bacteria, have adapted to be able to live in hot springs. Because of the very hot temperatures they live in (55°C, compared to a normal mammalian body temperature of 38°C), thermophilic bacteria must have made adaptations in their proteins,
Children with growth hormone H deficiency do not grow at normal rates. If they are given extra growth hormone, their growth rate can be improved. Hindmarsh and coworkers* made observations in growth hormone–deficient children that led them to hypothesize that children who have lower H at the
The anion gap is the difference between the number of univalent positive ions (potassium and sodium) and negative ions (chloride) in plasma or urine. Because it was suggested that the urinary anion gap Uag might be a useful indicator of the amount of ammonium ion secreted in the urine, Battle and
Growth hormone Gh is severely elevated in subjects with acromegaly, a condition that causes enlarged and deformed bone growth, particularly in the face and jaw of adults. Although Gh is thought to exert its effects via another hormone, insulin-like growth factor—somatomedin-C (Igf), a close
Evaluate the reasonableness of the linear fit for the data on renal vascular resistance and renin production in Table D-4, Appendix D, that you analyzed in Problem 2.5. Are there any influential points? Is some other regression model more appropriate?
In Problem 2.3, we concluded that female lung cancer rates were related to male lung cancer rates in different countries and that breathing secondhand smoke increased the risk of getting breast cancer. It is also known that breast cancer rates vary with the amount of animal fat in the diet of
Calculate the 95 percent confidence interval for the sensitivity of adult bird ventilation to oxygen in Problem 3.14. What does this tell you about the statistical significance of this effect?
Combine the data sets for baby birds (Table C-6, Appendix C) and adult birds (Table D-12, Appendix D). Create a dummy variable to distinguish the baby bird data from the adult data (let the dummy variable equal 1 for baby birds). Using multiple linear regression, is there any evidence that the
In the baby birds example, we analyzed the dependence of ventilation on the oxygen and carbon dioxide content of the air the nestling bank swallows breathed. Table D-12, Appendix D, contains similar data for adult bank swallows. Find the best-fitting regression plane.
Ventilation of the lungs is controlled by the brain, which processes information sent from stretch receptors in the lungs and sends back information to tell the muscles in the chest and diaphragm when to contract and relax so that the lungs are inflated just the right amount. To explore the
In Problem 2.7, you examined the ability of the MR spectrum relaxation time T1 to predict muscle fiber composition in the thighs of athletes.Does adding the other MR spectrum relaxation time T2 to the predictive equation significantly improve the ability of MR spectroscopy to precisely predict
In Problem 2.4, you used linear regression to describe the relationship between gentamicin efficacy (in terms of the number of bacteria present after treatment C) and the amount of time the level of gentamicin in the blood was above its effective concentration M for dosing intervals of 1–4 hours.
Inhibin is a hormone thought to be involved in the regulation of sex hormones during the estrus cycle. It has been recently isolated and characterized. Most assays have been bioassays based on cultured cells, which are complicated. Less cumbersome radioimmunological assays(RIAs) have been
Cell membranes are made of two “sheets” of fatty molecules known as a lipid bilayer, which contains many proteins on the surface of the bilayer and inserted into it. These proteins are mobile in the bilayer, and some function as carriers to move other molecules into or out of the cell. The
In Problem 2.6, you used four simple regression analyses to try to draw conclusions about the factors related to urinary calcium loss UCa in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. (The data are in Table D-5, Appendix D.) A. Repeat that analysis using multiple regression to consider the
Drugs that block the β-receptors for adrenaline and related compounds, generally known as catecholamines, in the heart are called β-blockers.These drugs are often used to treat heart disease. Sometimes β-blockers have a dual effect whereby they actually stimulate β-receptors if the levels of
In the baby birds data shown in Fig. 3-14 and analyzed in Fig. 3-15, what was the R2 and what was the F statistic for testing overall goodness of fit? What do these two statistics tell you about the overall quality of fit to the data? Does a highly significant F statistic mean that the fit
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the world today but attracts relatively little coverage in the print media compared with other, less serious, health problems. Based on anecdotal evidence of retaliation by tobacco companies against publications that carry stories on smoking,
What is sy|x in the regression analysis of the smooth muscle data in Fig.3-22?
For the study of the effects of Martian height and water consumption on weight in Fig. 3-1, the amounts of water consumed fell into three distinct groups, 0, 10, and 20 cups/day. This fortuitous circumstance made it easy to draw Fig. 3-1 but rarely happens in practice. Substitute the following
Draw a three-dimensional representation of the data in Fig. 3-7A with the dummy variable that defines exposure to secondhand smoke (or lack thereof) as the third axis. What is the meaning of the slope of the regression plane in the dummy variable dimension?
In the study of the effect of secondhand smoke on the relationship between Martian weight and height in Fig. 3-7A, exposure to secondhand smoke shifted the line down in a parallel fashion as described by Eq. (1.3). If secondhand smoke affected the slope as well as the intercept, the lines would not
There are two basic types of skeletal muscle in the body, fast twitch and slow twitch. Fast-twitch muscles are more suited to providing rapid, but short, bursts of activity, whereas slow-twitch muscles are more suited for slower, sustained activity. Different people have different mixes of these
When patients are unable to eat for long periods, they must be given intravenous nutrients, a process called parenteral nutrition.Unfortunately, patients on parenteral nutrition show increased calcium loss via their urine, sometimes losing more calcium than they are given in their intravenous
The kidney is important for eliminating substances from the body and for controlling the amount of fluid in the body, which, in turn, helps regulate blood pressure. One way the kidney senses blood volume is by the concentration of ions in the blood. When solutions with higher than normal
When antibiotics are given to fight infections, they must be administered in such a way that the blood level of the antibiotic is high enough to kill the bacteria causing the infection. Because antibiotics are usually given periodically, the blood levels change over time, rising after an injection,
The Surgeon General has concluded that breathing secondhand cigarette smoke causes lung cancer in nonsmokers, largely based on epidemiological studies comparing lung cancer rates in nonsmoking women married to nonsmoking men with those married to smoking men.An alternative approach to seeking risk
Benzodiazepine tranquilizers (such as Valium) exert their physiological effects by binding to specific receptors in the brain. This binding then interacts with a neurotransmitter, γ-amino butyric acid (GABA), to cause changes in nerve activity. Because most direct methods of studying the effects
From the regression outputs shown in the four parts of Fig. 2-11 relating Martian weight to height, find the following statistics to three significant figures: slope, standard error of the slope, intercept, standard error of the intercept, correlation coefficient, standard error of the estimate,
Find and discuss two articles from the last year that would benefit from a multivariate analysis of data that was originally analyzed in a univariate fashion.
In the goodness-of-fit test procedure of Section 4.5, instead of the estimated critical value \(c_{\alpha}\), give a formula for a an estimated \(p\)-value.Data from Section 4.5...... For a test of univariate normality, we apply the statistic (4.2). Suppose that 11,..., In is a random sample and
Let \(\widehat{A}\) be a double-centered distance matrix. Prove or disprove the following statements:1. If \(B\) is the matrix obtained by double-centering \(\widehat{A}\), then \(B=\widehat{A}\).2. If \(c\) is a constant and \(B\) denotes the matrix obtained by adding \(c\) to the off-diagonal
