Aircraft manufacturers are understandably interested in the durability of their products. As one part of a larger investigation, they looked at how metal joint fasteners would hold up under stress. Several fasteners were tested at several different load levels, and the number of fasteners failing out of the total was recorded. We wish to model the probability of failure as a function of load using logistic regression. First, the data: Load Level Number Tested Number Failing 2500 50 10 2700 70 17 2900 100 30 3100 60 21 3300 40 18 3500 85 43 3700 90 54 3900 50 33 4100 80 60 4300 65 51 For this data, we wish to fit an appropriate binary regression model. You should try a few different link functions: logit, probit, cloglog and inverse cloglog. Plot the resulting fitted proportion curves against the sample proportions (I'm picturing a 2 by 2 grid of plots here, one curve per plot, with the raw proportions indicated by dots or stars or something). You should supply the fitted beta values for each model, and the deviance for each model. Are the betas significant? Which type of link function achieves the best fit? I would like to see commented code here. You are not allowed to use Splus' GLM routines for binary data as your code, but you may use it to check your answers. Indicate how you are getting your starting beta values, and give the algebraic form of your W and ystar entries.
