Peer-graded Assignment: Regression Models Course Project
You work for Motor Trend, a magazine about the automobile industry. Looking at a data set of a collection of cars, they are interested in exploring the relationship between a set of variables and miles per gallon (MPG) (outcome). They are particularly interested in the following two questions:
- “Is an automatic or manual transmission better for MPG”
- "Quantify the MPG difference between automatic and manual transmissions"
- The criteria that your classmates will use to evaluate and grade your work are shown below.
- Each criteria is binary: (1 point = criteria met acceptably; 0 points = criteria not met acceptably)
- Did the student interpret the coefficients correctly?
- Did the student do some exploratory data analyses?
- Did the student fit multiple models and detail their strategy for model selection?
- Did the student answer the questions of interest or detail why the question(s) is (are) not answerable?
- Did the student do a residual plot and some diagnostics?
- Did the student quantify the uncertainty in their conclusions and/or perform an inference correctly?
- Was the report brief (about 2 pages long) for the main body of the report and no longer than 5 with supporting appendix of figures?
- Did the report include an executive summary?
- Was the report done in Rmd (knitr)?
