Description
1. The table below gives the data collected from a bioassay study in which X variable
(treated as continuous variable) is the concentration level. At each of five different
dose levels (0-4), 30 animals are tested and the number of dying are recorded.
Dose (X) 0 1 2 3 4
Number of dying 2 8 15 23 27
Fit the model g(P(dying)) = α+βX, with logit, probit, and complementary log-log
links.
(a) Fill out the table and give comments.
Model Estimate of β CI for β Deviance pˆ(dying|x = 0.01)
logit
probit
c-log-log
(b) Suppose that the dose level is in natural logarithm scale, estimate LD50 with
90% confidence interval based on the three models.
2. The table below contains the enrollment data of some MPH program in a year
Amount: one-time two-year scholarship
Offer: the number of offers made with the corresponding scholarship
Enrolls: the number of offer accepted

Amount (in thousand dollars) Offers Enrolls
10 4 0
15 6 2
20 10 4
25 12 2
30 39 12
35 36 14
40 22 10

60 8 3
65 9 5
70 3 2
75 1 0
80 5 4
85 2 2
90 1 1
Please analyze the data using a logistic regression and answer the following questions:
(a) How does the model fit the data?
(b) How do you interpret the relationship between the scholarship amount and
enrollment rate? What is 95% CI?
(c) How much scholarship should we provide to get 40% yield rate (the percentage
of admitted students who enroll?) What is the 95% CI?
