ST300 Assessed Coursework

Body Measurements

1 Question

The data-set body.dat contains 21 body dimension measurements, together

with age, weight, height, and gender on 507 individuals. The 247 men and

260 women were primarily individuals in their twenties and thirties, with a

scattering of older men and women, all exercising several hours a week.

The main aim is to explain how the height of an individual is related to

other variables. Using R (other packages not allowed), obtain a satisfactory

model for height in terms of the other variables. You should examine outliers

and influential observations, and try transformations. You may also want to

try variable selections using techniques learnt and used in your lectures and

workshops. Why is your model good? From your model, what can you

say about the relationship between the height and other body measurements

or characteristics of a particular individual? Which body measurement(s)

are potentially more important in estimating a person’s height? Write a

summary of your analysis with no more than 6 sides of A4 (including

graphs and figures).

Variable descriptions:

Skeletal Measurements: (all in cm)

biacromial Biacromial diameter

pelvic.breadth Biiliac diameter, or "pelvic breadth"

bitrochanteric Bitrochanteric diameter, in cm

chest.depth Chest depth between spine and sternum at nipple level,

mid-expiration

chest.diam Chest diameter at nipple level, mid-expiration

elbow.diam Elbow diameter, sum of two elbows

wrist.diam Wrist diameter, sum of two wrists

knee.diam Knee diameter, sum of two knees

ankle.diam Ankle diameter, sum of two ankles

Girth Measurements: (all in cm)

shoulder.girth Shoulder girth over deltoid muscles

chest.girth Chest girth, nipple line in males and just above breast

tissue in females, mid-expiration

waist.girth Waist girth, narrowest part of torso below the rib cage,

average of contracted and relaxed position

navel.girth Navel (or "Abdominal") girth at umbilicus and iliac crest,

iliac crest as a landmark

hip.girth Hip girth at level of bitrochanteric diameter

thigh.girth Thigh girth below gluteal fold, average of right and left

girths

bicep.girth Bicep girth, flexed, average of right and left girths

forearm.girth Forearm girth, extended, palm up, average of right and

left girths

knee.girth Knee girth over patella, slightly flexed position, average

of right and left girths

calf.girth Calf maximum girth, average of right and left girths

ankle.girth Ankle minimum girth, average of right and left girths

wrist.girth Wrist minimum girth, average of right and left girths

Other Measurements:

age Age (years)

weight Weight (kg)

height Height (cm)

gender Gender (1 - male, 0 - female)

Note: Check all the covariates you are not familiar with before interpreting

your model. Note that some covariates are discrete, so that they can be

interpreted as factors. You are not taught about regression with a mixed

of factors and continuous covariates (called ANCOVA), but using the lm

function in R you can still get appropriate coefficients and anova function

with sum of squares calculated etc. But remember your ultimate goal is to

find a simple model for interpretation.

2 Assessment

This question counts for 15% of the total mark for ST300. The work will be

subject to checks for plagiarism.

3 Submission

Your work should be submitted anonymously under your candidate

number. You can look up your candidate number in LSE for you.

A printed copy of the project must be put in the project drop-box

in the waiting area of the 6th floor of Columbia House by 12:00pm

on the 20th of March 2019. You must sign the plagiarism form

and put it *separately* in the department office collection point

of such form. In addition, you must upload your project using the

specified Moodle link on the ST300 Moodle page by 12:00pm on

the 20th of March 2019. The Moodle upload link will stop working

after that time and you will only be able to email me your project.

Penalties will apply for late submission of either the printed or the

electronic version of your project (but will not be doubly-penalised

if both are not submitted on time). For the plagiarism form see

the link in Moodle before the links to the project.

When the submission deadline has passed, a list of candidate numbers

for the work received will be put up on Moodle. Each student

must check from that list that their work has been received, counting

both the electronic and the printed versions.

Extensions to deadlines for coursework will only be given in fully

documented serious extenuating circumstances. There will be 5n

marks deducted from the total possible 100 marks for this coursework

if either the hard copy or the electronic version is submitted

between 24(n ? 1) and 24n hours from the stipulated deadline (including

working days only).
