Math Problem Statement

Suppose a multiple regression model is fitted into a variable called model. Which Python method below returns fitted values for a data set based on a multiple regression model? Select one.

Question 1 options:

model.values

model.fittedvalues

values.model

fittedvalues.model

Solution

The correct method to return fitted values for a data set based on a multiple regression model in Python is:

model.fittedvalues

Explanation:

  • model.fittedvalues: This method retrieves the fitted (or predicted) values from the regression model for the dataset used to train the model.
  • The other options, such as model.values, values.model, and fittedvalues.model, are incorrect because they do not correspond to standard attributes or methods used in Python regression libraries like statsmodels.

Would you like further clarification or an example of how to use model.fittedvalues?

Tip:

When working with regression models in Python, always consult the official documentation (e.g., for statsmodels or sklearn) to understand available methods and attributes.
