Note: There is no unique answer for this problem. The report for this problem should be typed. Hand-written report or report including screen-captured R codes or fifigures won’t be marked. An example report written by a student previous year has been posted on LMS.

Data: The dataset comes from the Fiji Fertility Survey and shows data on the number of children ever born to married women of the Indian race classifified by duration since their fifirst marriage(grouped in six categories), type of place of residence (Suva, urban, and rural), and educational level (classifified in four categories: none, lower primary, upper primary, and secondary or higher).

The data can be found in the fifile assignment2 prob1.txt. The dataset has 70 rows representing 70 groups of families. Each row has entries for:

  • duration: marriage duration of mothers in each group (years),
  • residence: residence of families in each group (Suva, urban, rural),
  • education: education of mothers in each group (none, lower primary, upper primary, secondary+),
  • nChildren: number of children ever born in each group (e.g. 4), and
  • nMother: number of mothers in each group (e.g. 8).

We can summarise data as a table as follows.

> data <- read.table(file =”assignment2_prob1.txt”, header=TRUE)

> data$duration <- factor(data$duration, levels=c(“0-4″,”5-9″,”10-14″,”15-19″,”20-24″,”25-29”)

> , ordered=TRUE)

> data$residence <- factor(data$residence, levels=c(“Suva”, “urban”, “rural”))

> data$education <- factor(data$education, levels=c(“none”, “lower”, “upper”, “sec+”))

> ftable(xtabs(cbind(nChildren,nMother) ~ duration + residence + education, data))

Problem: We want to determine which factors (duration, residence, education) and two-way interactions are related to the number of children per woman (fertility rate). The observed number of children ever born in each group (nChildren) depends on the number of mothers (nMother) ineach group. We must take account of the difffference in the number of mothers (hint: one of the lab problems shows how to handle this issue). Write a report on the analysis that should summarie the substantive conclusions and include the highlights of your analysis: for example, data visualisation,choice of model (e.g., Poisson, binomial, gamma, etc), model fifitting and model  selection (e.g., using AIC), diagnostic, check for overdispersion if necessary, and summary/interpretation of your fifinal model.

At each step of you analysis, you should write why you do that and your interpretation/conclusion.

For example, “I make an interaction plot to see whether there are interactions between X and Y”,show a plot, and “It seems that there are some interaction between X and Y”.
