Harlan D. Harris, PhD Jared P. Lander, MA NYC Predictive Analytics Meetup October 14, 2010 Predicting Pizza in Chinatown: An Intro to Multilevel Regression
2
1. How do cost and fuel type affect pizza quality? 2. How do those factors vary by neighborhood?
3
Linear Regression (OLS) rating i = β 0 + β price *price i + ε i find βs to minimize Σε i 2
4
Linear Regression (OLS) rating i = β p + β price *price i + ε i find βs to minimize Σε i 2
5
Multiple Regression rating i = beta[intercept] * 1 + beta[price] * price i + beta[oven=wood] * I(oven i =wood) + beta[oven=coal] * I(oven i =coal) + error i Goal: find betas/coefficients that minimize Σ i error i 2 3 types of oven = 2 coefficients (gas is reference)
6
Multiple Regression (OLS) rating i = β 0 + β price *price i + β wood *I(oven i = "wood") + β coal *I(oven i = "coal") + ε i find βs to minimize Σε i 2
7
Multiple Regression (OLS) with Interactions rating i = β 0 + β price *price i + β wood *I(oven i = "wood") + β wood,price *price i * I(oven i = "wood") + β coal *I(oven i = "coal") + β coal,price *price i * I(oven i = "coal") + ε i
8
Groups Examples: teachers / test scores states / poll results pizza ratings / neighborhoods
9
Full Pooling (ignore groups) Examples: teachers / test scores states / poll results pizza ratings / neighborhoods rating i = β 0 + β price *price i + ε i
10
No Pooling (groups as factors) rating i = β 0 + β price *price i + β B *I(group i = "B") + β B,price *price i * I(group i = "B") + β C *I(group i = "C") + β C,price *price i * I(group i = "C") + ε i

Viewing the Data in R > plot(za.df)
14
Visualize ggplot(za.df, aes(CostPerSlice, Rating, color=HeatSource)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~ Neighborhood) + geom_smooth(aes(color=NULL), color='black', method='lm', se=FALSE, size=2)

Use Natural Groupings Cluster Sampling Intercluster Differences Intracluster Similarities
23
Multilevel Characteristics Model gravitates toward big groups Small groups gravitate toward the model Best when groups are similar to each other y_i = Intercept_j[i] + Slope_j[i] + noise Intercept[j] = Intercept_alpha + Slope_alpha + noise Slope[j] = Intercept_beta + Slope_beta + noise Model the effects of the groups
24
Multi-Names for Multilevel Models Multilevel Hierarchical Mixed-Effects Bayesian Partial-Pooling
25
Multi-Names for Multilevel Models (1) Fixed effects are constant across individuals, and random effects vary. For example, in a growth study, a model with random intercepts a_i and fixed slope b corresponds to parallel lines for different individuals i, or the model y_it = a_i + b t. Kreft and De Leeuw (1998) thus distinguish between fixed and random coefficients. (2) Effects are fixed if they are interesting in themselves or random if there is interest in the underlying population. Searle, Casella, and McCulloch (1992, Section 1.4) explore this distinction in depth. (3) "When a sample exhausts the population, the corresponding variable isfixed; when the sample is a small (i.e., negligible) part of the population the corresponding variable is random." (Green and Tukey, 1960) (4) "If an effect is assumed to be a realized value of a random variable, it is called a random effect." (LaMotte, 1983) (5) Fixed effects are estimated using least squares (or, more generally, maximum likelihood) and random effects are estimated with shrinkage ("linear unbiased prediction" in the terminology of Robinson, 1991). This definition is standard in the multilevel modeling literature (see, for example, Snijders and Bosker, 1999, Section 4.2) and in econometrics. http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook/movabletype/archives/2005/01/why_i_dont_use.html
26
Bayesian Interpretation Everything has a distribution (including the groups) Group-level model is prior information for the individual-level coefficients Group-level model has an assumed-normal prior (Can fit multilevel models with Bayesian methods, or with simpler/faster/easier approximations.)
27
R Options lme4::lmer() nlme::lme() MCMCglmm() BUGS Others/niche approaches…
28
Back to the Pizza Model the overall pattern among neighborhoods Natural clustering of pizzerias in neighborhoods adds information Neighborhoods with many/few pizzerias Many: trust data, ala no-pooling model Few: trust overall patterns, ala full-pooling model
29
Back to the Pizza Use Neighborhoods as natural grouping
30
5 slope coefficients and 5 intercept coefficients, one of each per neighborhood Slopes/intercepts are assumed to have Gaussian distribution Ideally, could describe all 5 slopes with 2 numbers (mean/variance) Neighborhoods with little data dont get freedom to set their own coefficients – get pulled towards overall slope or intercept Multilevel Pizza
31
R syntax lm.me.cost2 <- lmer(Rating ~ HeatSource + (1+CostPerSlice | Neighborhood), data=za.df)
32
Results (Partial-Pooling) lm.me.cost2 <- lmer(Rating ~ HeatSource + (1+CostPerSlice | Neighborhood), data=za.df)
