An analyst fits a logistic regression model to predict whether or not a client will default on a loan. One of the predictors in the model is agent, and each agent serves 15-20 clients each. The model fails to converge. The analyst prints the summarized data, showing the number of defaulted loans per agent. See the partial output below:

What is the most likely reason that the model fails to converge?

Options:

A.

There is quasi-complete separation in the data.

B.

There is collinearity among the predictors.

C.

There are missing values in the data.

D.

There are too many observations in the data.

The PROC LOGISTIC options SELECTION=SCORE and BEST=2 are used in a MODEL statement to generate a series of predictive models. The models are assigned numbers in order from 1 to 99 reflecting the fact that there are 50 candidate input variables. Results from the collection of derived models are used to generate the following plot of overall average profit by model number. Results are restricted to models with at least 9 inputs and at most 40 inputs.

The maximum value for the training data occurs for model number 46, and the maximum value for the validation data occurs for model number 43.

If you base model selection solely on overall average profit, what is the correct choice?

Options:

A.

Select model 46

B.

Select model 43

C.

Select model 45

D.

Select model 21

A marketing analyst assessed the effect of web page design (A, B, or C) on customers' intent to purchase an expensive product. The focus group was divided randomly into three sub-groups, each of which was asked to view one of the web pages and then give their intent to purchase on a scale from 0 to 100. The analyst also asked the customers to give their income, which was coded as: I (lowest), II (medium), or III (highest). After analyzing the data, the analyst claimed that there was significant interaction and the webpage design mainly influenced high income people.
