Homework 5

  • Problem 1: Using the following survival data
    i 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    Ti 2 5 8 12 15 21 25 29 30 34
    Compute by hand the survival time estimates S(6), S(12), and the hazard estimate h(12).
  • Problem 2: Use SOCR and/or R to generate and interpret the Kaplan-Meyer survival curve for the data below (Example 5 data in the SOCR Survival Analysis Applet).

  • Problem 3: The multivariate mmreg.csv data includes 600 observations and 8 psychological, academic and demographic (gender) variables. Use some dimensionality reduction methods to interrogate the data and report your findings.
  • Problem 4: Use the Gazi University Student Evaluation Data Set to compute two test reliability measures (use only the responses in Q1-Q28). Interpret the results and discuss your findings in the study-specific context. For extra credit you can think about interpreting the impact of the course descriptive meta-data (Repeat, Attendance, Difficulty) and their potential impact on student responses.
