Questions 2a, 2b
5.0/10.0 points (graded)
Five classi�cation models were built for predicting whether a neighborhood will soon see a large rise in home prices, based on
public elementary school ratings and other factors. The training data set was missing the school rating variable for every new
school (3% of the data points).
Because ratings are unavailable for newly-opened schools, it is believed that locations that have recently experienced high
population growth are more likely to have missing school rating data.
Model 1 used imputation, �lling in the missing data with the average school rating from the rest of the data.
Model 2 used imputation, building a regression model to �ll in the missing school rating data based on other variables.
Model 3 used imputation, �rst building a classi�cation model to estimate (based on other variables) whether a new
school is likely to have been built as a result of recent population growth (or whether it has been built for another
purpose, e.g. to replace a very old school), and then using that classi�cation to select one of two regression models to �ll
in an estimate of the school rating; there are two di�erent regression models (based on other variables), one for
neighborhoods with new schools built due to population growth, and one for neighborhoods with new schools built for
other reasons.
Model 4 used a binary variable to identify locations with missing information.
Model 5 used a categorical variable: �rst, a classi�cation model was used to estimate whether a new school is likely to have
been built as a result of recent population growth; and then each neighborhood was categorized as "data available",
"missing, population growth", or "missing, other reason".
a. If school ratings cannot be reasonably well-predicted from the other factors, and new schools built due to recent
population growth cannot be reasonably well-classi�ed using the other factors, which model would you recommend?
Model 1
Model 2
Model 3
Model 4
Model 5
b. In which of the following situations would you recommend using Model 5? [All predictions and classi�cations below are
using the other factors.]
Ratings can be well-predicted, and reasons for building schools can be well-classi�ed.

Information for Question 3
In a diet problem (like we saw in the lessons and homework), let xibe the amount of food i in the solution (x i >= 0), and let
M be the maximum amount that can be eaten of any food.
Suppose we added new variables yithat are binary (i.e., they must be either 0 or 1): if food i is eaten in the solution, then it
is part of the solution (yi = 1); otherwise yi = 0.
