2 Comparig Two Alteratives: Paired vs. Upaired 5 Approximate Visual Test 6 Paired: oe-to-oe correspodece betwee the ith test o system B Example: performace o ith workload => use cofidece iterval of the differece Upaired: o correspodece Example: people o system A, o system B => eed more sophisticated method To compare two upaired samples, simply compute the cofidece iterval for each alterative separately Cofidece Itervals for Proportios 7 Sample Size for Determiig Mea 8 Proportio = probability of various categories E.g., P(error)=0.0, P(o error)=0.99 for observatios are of type => Sample proportio = p = / Cofidece iterval for the proportio Assumes ormal approximatio of Biomial distributio => Valid oly if p 0 Need to use biomial tables if p < 0, ca t use t-values p z α / p( p) Larger sample => Narrower cofidece iterval => Higher cofidece Questio: How may observatios to get a accuracy of ±r% ad a cofidece level of 00(-α)%? The 00(-α)% cofidece iterval of the populatio mea is s x z r% accuracy => CI = ( x( r /00), x( + r /00)) => s r s r 00zs x z = x z = x = rx

3 Regressio Models 9 Defiitio of a Good Model 0 A regressio model allows oe to estimate or predict a radom variable as a fuctio of several other variables Respose variable: the estimated variable Predictor variables, predictors, or factors: the variables used to predict the respose Regressio aalysis assumes that all predictors variables are quatitative so that arithmetic operatios are meaigful Simple liear regressio mode: liear regressio model with a sigle predictor variable Regressio models should miimize the distace measured vertically betwee the observatio poit ad the model lie The differece betwee the observed respose ad the predicted respose is called residual, modelig error, or simply error Defiitio of a Good Model Defiitio of a Good Model Two requiremets Zero overall error, i.e., egative ad positive errors cacel out To choose the lie that miimizes the sum of squares of the errors Liear model: ŷ is the predicted respose whe the predictor variable is x b 0 ad b are fixed regressio parameters to be determied from the data Give observatio pairs {(x,y ),,(x,y )}, the estimated respose ŷ i for the ith observatio is The error is: ŷ = b0 + bx y = b + bx ˆi 0 e = y yˆ i i i i 3

4 Defiitio of a Good Model The best liear model is give by the regressio parameter values, which miimizes the Sum of Squared Errors (SSE): e = ( y b bx ) i i 0 i i= i= Subject to the costrait that the mea error is zero i i 0 i i= i= This costraied miimizatio problem is equivalet to miimizig the variace of errors e = ( y b bx ) = 0 3 Estimatio of Model Parameters The regressio parameters that give miimum error variace are xy x y b = b 0 = y bx x x where x = mea of the values of precitor variables = y= mea respose = i i= i i i i= i= xy = x y x = x y xi i= 4 Derivatio 5 Derivatio 6 Error i the ith observatio: Mea error: e = e i = { y i ( b 0 + bx i)} = y b 0 bx i i Settig mea error to 0 => b0 = y bx Substitutig b 0 => e = y yˆ = y ( b + bx ) i i i i 0 i e = y y+ bx bx = ( y y) b( x x) i i i i i Sum of squared errors: SSE = e = [( y y) b ( y y)( x x) + b ( x x) ] i i i i i i= i= SSE = + Fid the value of b that gives mi SSE: => [( yi y) ] b ( yi y)( xi x) b ( xi x) i= i= i= = s bs + b s y xy x dsse ( ) = sxy + bs x = 0 db s xy xy xy = = sx x ( x) b 4

5 Example 4. 7 Example 4. 8 Number of disk I/O s ad processor times of 7 programs were measured as {(4,), (6,5), (7,7), (4,9), (39, 0), (50, 3), (83, 0)} Liear model to predict CPU time as a fuctio of disk I/O s, give = 7, xy = 3375, x = 7, x =3,855, y = 66, y = 88, =38.7, ad = 9.43 xy x y b = = = x x 3,855 7 (38.7) b = y bx = = The liear model: CPU time = (umber of disk I/O s) Example 4. 9 Allocatio of Variatio 0 The purpose of a model is to be able to predict the respose with miimum variability Without a regressio model, oe ca use the mea respose as the predicted value for all values of the predictor variables 5

6 Allocatio of Variatio The errors i this case would be larger tha those with the regressio model, i.e., the error variace = variace of the respose Error = ε i = observed respose predicted respose = yi y Variace of errors without regressio = εi i= = ( yi y) i= = variace of y Allocatio of Variatio yi Total sum of squares (SST): It is a measure of y s variability ad it is called the variatio of y SST = ( y y) = ( y ) y = SSY SS0 i i= i= SSR: sum of squares explaied by the regressio, it is the differece betwee SST ad SSE: SSR = SST SSE or SST = SSR + SSE i i= ( y) Allocatio of Variatio 3 Allocatio of Variatio 4 Coefficiet of determiatio R : the fractio of the variatio that is explaied determies the goodess of the regressio SSR SST SSE Coefficiet of determiatio = R = = SST SST The higher the value of R, the better the regressio R is also the square of the sample correlatio R xy betwee the two variables sxy Sample correlatio( xy, ) = Rxy = sxsy Coefficiet of determiatio = {correlatio coefficiet( xy, )} Shortcut formula for SSE: SSE = y b y b xy 0 Example 4.: for the disk I/O-CPU time data of ex 4.. Calculate the coefficiet of determiatio SSE = y b0 y b xy = = 5.97 SST = SSY SS0 = y ( y) = 88 7 (9.43) = 05.7 SSR = SST SSE = = SSR R = = = SST

7 Stadard Deviatio of Errors Mea squared error (MSE): a estimate of the variace of errors = SSE divided by its degree of freedom: SSE se = Degree of freedom for SSE is because errors are obtaied after calculatig two regressio parameters from the data Stad deviatio of errors: square root of MSE 5 Stadard Deviatio of Errors Degree of freedom for SSE for SSY sice it is obtaied from idepedet observatios without estimatig ay parameters for SS0 sice it ca be computed simply from y for SST sice oe parameter y must be calculated from the data before SST ca be computed for SSR Thus the degrees of freedom add just the way the sums of squares do: SST = SSY SS0 = SSR + SSE = = + ( ) 6 Example Cofidece Itervals for Regressio Parameters 8 For the disk I/O-CPU data of example 4., the degrees of freedom of the sums are: Sums of squares: SST = SSY SS0 = SSR + SSE 05.7 = = Degrees of freedom: 6 = 7 = + 5 The mea squared error is: SSE 5.87 MSE = = =.7 degree of freedom for errors 5 The stadard deviatio of errors is: s = MSE =.7 =.08 e The regressio coefficiets are radom i the same maer as the sample mea or ay other parameter computed from a sample Usig a sigle sample, oly probabilistic statemets ca be made about true parameters β 0 ad β of the populatio => true model is y = β0 + βx b 0 ad b are statistics (mea values) correspodig to the parameters β 0 ad β, respectively 7

8 Cofidece Itervals for Regressio Parameters 9 Cofidece Itervals for Regressio Parameters 30 The stadard deviatio of b 0 ad b s b0 s b x = se + x x s e = / x x / The 00(-α)% cofidece itervals for b 0 ad b ca be computed usig the -α/ quatile of a t variate with - degrees of freedom, i.e., t [-α/;-] The cofidece itervals are: b ts ad b ts 0 b 0 If cofidece iterval icludes 0, the the regressio parameter caot be cosidered differet from zero at the 00(-α)% cofidece level b Example Example s For the disk I/O-CPU data of example 4., we ca calculate the stadard deviatios of b 0 ad b : b0 s b / / x (38.7) = se + = = 0.83 x x 7 3,855 7 (38.7) se.0834 = = = / / x x 3,855 7 (38.7) From table A.4, the 0.95-quatile of a t-variate with 5 degrees of freedom is.05 => 90% cofidece iterval for b 0 is (.05)(0.83) = = (.6830,.6663) Cofidece iterval icludes 0 => b 0 is essetially 0 Similarly, 90% cofidece iterval for b is (.05)(0.087) = = (0.06,0.84) Cofidece iterval does ot iclude 0 => the slope b is sigificatly differet from 0 at this cofidece level 8

9 Case Study Case Study Performace compariso of RPC mechaism o UNIX ad ARGUS UNIX data ARGUS data The liear models are: Time o UNIX = (data size i bytes) + 4 Time o ARGUS = (data size i bytes) + 30 Case Study Cofidece Itervals for Predicatios 36 Cofidece itervals for itercepts overlap while those of the slopes do ot Setup times are ot sigificatly differet Per-byte times (slopes) are differet Developig regressio helps predict the value of the respose variable for those values of predictor variables beyod the curretly measured Give the regressio equatio, we ca predict the respose for ay give value of predictor variable: yˆ p = b0 + bx p This formula gives oly the mea value of the predicted respose based upo the sample 9

10 Cofidece Itervals for Predicatios Stadard deviatio of the mea of a future sample of m observatios is / ( xp x) syˆ = s mp e + + m x x Stadard deviatio of a sigle future observatio (m=) / ( xp x) syˆ = s mp e + + x x Stadard deviatio of the mea of a large umber of future observatios at x p (m= ): / ( xp x) syˆ = s mp e + x x 37 Cofidece Itervals for Predicatios Cofidece itervals for predicatios from regressio models Stadard deviatio of the predictio is miimal at the ceter of the measured rage 38 Example Example Agai, usig the disk I/O-CPU time data of example 4., estimate the CPU time for a program with 00 disk I/O s Regressio equatio: CPU time = (umber of disk I/O's) Therefore, for a program with 00 disk I/O s, the mea CPU time is: CPU time = (00)= Stadard deviatio of errors =.0834 s e Stadard deviatio of the predicted mea of a large umber of observatios is: ( ) = = ,855 7(38.7) s yp ˆ 90% cofidece iterval for predicted mea = ±(.05)(.59)=4.3674±.4500=(.974,6.874) / 0

11 Example Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 4 Stadard deviatio of the predicted CPU time of a sigle future program with 00 disk I/O s: / ( ) s y ˆ p = = ,855 7(38.7) 90% cofidece iterval for predicted mea = ±(.05)(.686)=4.3674±3.86=(.0858,7.6489) => cofidece iterval is wider tha that for the mea of a large umber of observatios The true relatioship betwee the respose variable y ad the predictor variable x is liear The predictor variable x is ostochastic ad it is measured without ay error The model errors are statistically idepedet The errors are ormally distributed with 0 mea ad a costat stadard deviatio Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 43 Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 44 Liear relatioship: prepare a scatter plot of y versus x Ay oliear relatioship ca be easily see from this plot Idepedet errors: after the regressio, compute errors ad prepare a scatter plot of ε i vs. the predicted respose ŷ i Ay visible treds i the plot would idicate a depedece of errors o the predictor variable

12 Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 45 Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 46 Idepedet errors: additioally, you ca plot the residuals as a fuctio of the experimet umber Ay tred up or dow idicate the presece of other factors, evirometal coditios, or side effects that varied i differet experimets Normally distributed errors: prepare a ormal quatilequatile plot of errors If the plot is approximately liear, the assumptio is satisfied Visual Tests for Verifyig the Regressio Assumptios 47 Example Costat stadard deviatio of errors: also kow as homoscedasticity. Observe the scatter plot of errors vs. predicted respose prepared for the idepedece test If the spread i oe part of the graph seems sigificatly differet tha that i other parts, the the assumptio is ot valid For the same data i example 4., check assumptios: Idepedece check: ok

13 49 50 Example 4.6 Example 4.6 Check for ormality assumptio: ok Check homoscedasticity: some tred towards lower values of ŷ. However, the magitude is small 5 5 Example 4.7 Example 4.7 For the RPC performace study i case study 4. The residual-vs-ŷ plot for the ARGUS data shows a higher spread o the rhs of the graph tha that o the left side => ca be a cocer The ormal quatile-quatile plot for the same residuals => departure from ormality is higher tha that i previous example 3
