I'm trying to educate myself about predictive analytics and am using R to
generate a linear model with the following data.
age <- c(23, 19, 25, 10,9, 12, 11,8)
steroid <- c(27.1, 22.1, 21.9, 10.7, 7.4, 18.8, 14.7, 5.7)
gpa <- c( 2.1, 2.9, 2.8, 3.5, 3.2, 3.9, 2.8, 2.6)
sample <- data.frame(age, steroid, gpa)
fit2 <- lm(steroid~age+gpa)
summary(fit2)
newdata <- data.frame(age=15, gpa=3.2)
predict(fit2, newdata, interval="predict") # I want the fitted /
predicted value
>From the summary for the linear model, I have information on the
coefficients associated with each predictor. However, I want to go further
and find the predicted probability of information from this data. So for
someone who is 13 and has a GPA of 3.3, what's the predicted probability of
them ranking high on the steroid scale? What about for someone who is age
10? etc.
I understand explanatory modeling and have no problem implementing that in R,
I just have issues with using R to construct meaningful predictive
analytics. If you have any insights on this, feel free to share.
