    Capung fly
    The document describes 8 practical exercises involving nonlinear regression analysis using various SPSS datasets. For each exercise, students are asked to build quadratic, cubic, inverse, exponential or logistic regression models to study relationships between variables and identify the best fitting nonlinear model based on predictive accuracy. The exercises are intended to help students practice different approaches to nonlinear regression including linearizing equations or using the nonlinear regression procedure in SPSS.

    Practical Exercises

    Nonlinear Regression

    N.B. For each exercise, the working SPSS data set is indicated. The download link for
    the data sets can be found in the section called “Download Your Resources Here”.

    1
    Data set: health_funding.sav

    This data set contains information about the health care funding in 50 cities. Your task is
    to study the relationship between the health funding (funding) and the number of
    reported diseases per 10,000 inhabitants (disease). You suspect that this relationship is
    nonlinear, and its form is quadratic or cubic.
    1. Build a quadratic and a cubic regression model with these variables. (The health
    care funding is supposed to be the dependent variable.)
    2. Compare the prediction accuracy of these models. Which of them describes the
    relationship most appropriately?
    You can perform the tasks above by either linearizing the quadratic and cubic
    equations, or by using the nonlinear regression procedure in SPSS.

    2
    Data set: album_sales.sav

    This data set contains information about various music albums. You task is to study the
    relationship between the album sales (Sales) and the number of plays on radio (airplay)
    using both a quadratic and a cubic regression model.
    Which of the two models gives the best prediction accuracy? (You either linearize the
    quadratic and cubic equations, or use the nonlinear regression procedure in SPSS.).
    3
    Data set: car_sales.sav

    This data set contains information about 157 car models. Your task is to identify the
    best nonlinear model for the relationship between the car price (price) and engine size
    (engine_s). To that effect, you have to do the following:
    1. Build a quadratic and a cubic regression model with these variables.
    2. Compare the prediction accuracy of these models. Which of them describes the
    relationship most appropriately?
    You can perform the tasks above by either linearizing the quadratic and cubic
    equations, or by using the nonlinear regression procedure in SPSS.

    4
    Data set: car_sales.sav

    Study the relationship between the car price (price) and fuel efficiency (mpg) using the
    inverse function. You can either linearize this function, or use the nonlinear regression
    procedure in SPSS.

    5
    Data set: exam_anxiety.sav

    This data set contains information about the exam anxiety levels for 103 students. You
    have to predict the anxiety level (Anxiety) based on the time spent revising (Revise)
    using the inverse function. You can either linearize this function, or use the nonlinear
    regression procedure in SPSS.
    6
    Data set: car_sales.sav

    Study the relationship between the car price (price) and power (horsepower) using the
    exponential function.

    7
    Data set: marketvalues.sav

    This data set contains information about the purchase prices of 94 houses. Study the
    relationship between price (value) and surface in square feet (sqft) using:
    - the exponential function
    - the logistic function

    Which of these functions ensures the best prediction accuracy?

    8
    Data set: exam_anxiety.sav

    Try predict the exam performance (Exam) based on the time spent revising (Revise)
    using the logistic function (sigmoid).
