Heart attacks in rabbits (revisited)

  • Load the coolhearts data.
  • Fit a multiple linear regression model of Infarc on Area, X2 (early cooling), and X3 (late cooling).
  • Test all slope parameters equal to 0.
    • Display the overall F statistic and p-value in the model results.
  • Test one slope parameter is 0.
    • Use the Anova function from the car package to display F-statistic in an ANOVA table using adjusted (type III) sums of squares.
    • Or (easier), use a t-test from model results.
  • Test a subset of slope parameters is 0.
    • Fit the full model (with Area, X2, and X3) and reduced model (Area only), and calculate the general linear F-statistic.
    • Or, use the anova function with a full model to display the ANOVA table with sequential (type I) sums of squares, and calculate partial F-statistic.
    • Or (easier), use the anova function with full and reduced models to display F-statistic and p-value directly.
  • Calculate partial R-squared for (X2, X3 | Area).
