Predict with the soybean model on test data

In this exercise, you will apply the soybean models from the previous exercise (model.lin and model.gam, already loaded) to new data: soybean_test.

Instruções do exercício

  • Create a column soybean_test$pred.lin with predictions from the linear model model.lin.
  • Create a column soybean_test$pred.gam with predictions from the gam model model.gam.
    • For GAM models, the predict() method returns a matrix, so use as.numeric() to convert the matrix to a vector.
  • Fill in the blanks to pivot_longer() the prediction columns into a single value column pred with key column modeltype. Call the long data frame soybean_long.
  • Calculate and compare the RMSE of both models.
    • Which model does better?
  • Run the code to compare the predictions of each model against the actual average leaf weights.
    • A scatter plot of weight as a function of Time.
    • Point-and-line plots of the predictions (pred) as a function of Time.
    • Notice that the linear model sometimes predicts negative weights! Does the gam model?

# Get predictions from linear model
soybean_test$pred.lin <- ___(___, newdata = ___)

# Get predictions from gam model
soybean_test$pred.gam <- ___(___(___, newdata = ___))

# Pivot the predictions into a "long" dataset
soybean_long <- soybean_test %>%
  pivot_longer(cols = c(___, ___), names_to = ___, values_to = ___)

# Calculate the rmse
soybean_long %>%
  mutate(residual = weight - pred) %>%     # residuals
  group_by(modeltype) %>%                  # group by modeltype
  summarize(rmse = ___(___(___))) # calculate the RMSE

# Compare the predictions against actual weights on the test data
soybean_long %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = Time)) +                          # the column for the x axis
  geom_point(aes(y = weight)) +                    # the y-column for the scatterplot
  geom_point(aes(y = pred, color = modeltype)) +   # the y-column for the point-and-line plot
  geom_line(aes(y = pred, color = modeltype, linetype = modeltype)) + # the y-column for the point-and-line plot
