Assignment on linear regression for MSc.

Year I 2008 Students

Consider the SBP (systolic blood pressure) data, where the outcome variable of
interest is SBP (Systolic blood Pressure). There are information’s on nine
covariates assumed to predict Systolic blood pressure. Using this data:

1. Develop a linear regression model following the steps of model building

strategies which will help you to identify factors associated with Systolic
blood pressure.
2. Write as a report the interpretation of the final linear regression model
As well as all the necessary assumptions required by the model and the
methods you used to test whether these assumptions are satisfied or not for
each covariates

NB: the file named SBP_Group_1 is for group one, SBP_Group_2 is for group 2
and so on. The file “Data_description” contains description about the variables in
the dataset.
