Exercise 4 | Operations Management homework help

Multiple Linear RegressionFor Exercise 4, you are going to undertake data analysis using the multiple linear regression analytical tool. You can use the tool in any Analysis ToolPak or R (RStudio). In this instance, the analysis you are going to undertake will be slightly different depending on whether you are using an Analysis ToolPak or R. But irrespective of which tool you use you will start by setting up your data and preparing it for Regression Analysis.Please set up your data set for regression analysis this way:Select the columns (variables) of data that you need for all your regression runs. Create new columns (variables) of data by calculating and copying the cells. Copy all the columns (variables) of data that you need for all your regression runs to a new worksheet. Please clean up your data set for regression analysis by eliminating any data rows with missing values (or imputing the missing values) before you run the Regression to avoid errors. (The Medicare and Medicaid Discharge ratio variables have a few Division by Zero values. Any data rows with these and any other missing values need to be deleted. Save the data as a CSV file in an appropriate folder.I have sent everyone an email message with 2 attachments with additional guidance on how to set up the data and do the regression analysis to estimate Model 1. The other models may be done in a similar fashion.Using an Analysis ToolPak: Model 1:Run a multiple linear regression model to explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits (Net Revenue). The dependent variable is Net Hospital Benefits and the independent or predictor variables are Total Hospital Beds and whether the hospital is a Teaching Hospital or not. Complete Table 1.Table 1-Model 1-To explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits – 2011, 2012(using an Analysis Tool Pak)Coef.ST.

In the 2nd model, the dependent variable is Net Hospital Benefits and the independent or predictor variables are Total Hospital Beds and whether the hospital is a Non-Teaching Hospital or not. (Note: You may convert the Teaching Hospital column into a Non-Teaching Hospital column by subtracting 1 and changing the sign of the data.)

In the 3rd model, the dependent variable is Net Hospital Benefits and the independent or predictor variables are Total Hospital Beds, whether the hospital is a Teaching Hospital or not, Ratio of Medicare Discharges, and Ratio of Medicaid Discharges. Complete Table 3.Table 3-Model 3-To explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits – 2011, 2012(using an Analysis Tool Pak)Coef.ST.

In the 4th model, the dependent variable is Net Hospital Benefits and the independent or predictor variables are Total Hospital Beds, whether the hospital is a Non-Teaching Hospital or not, Ratio of Medicare Discharges, and Ratio of Medicaid Discharges. Complete Table 4.Table 4-Model 4-To explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits – 2011, 2012(using an Analysis Tool Pak)Coef.ST.

Please make sure to use the final model for your recommendation.Make sure to include or attach any plotted graphs that help you make your points.Using R through RStudio:Model 1:Run a multiple linear regression model to explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits (Net Revenue). The dependent variable is Net Hospital Benefits and the independent or predictor variables are Total Hospital Beds, Whether Hospital is for-profit or not (dummy variable), Whether Hospital is not-for-profit or not (dummy variable), Whether Hospital is some other ownership status or not (dummy variable). Note: This is Model 1A in the R script.

The model that uses the newly created bed categorical variable.Model 2:Now, run a multiple linear regression model to explain/predict Net Hospital Benefits (Net Revenue) as you did in Model 1, but this time add whether the hospital is a member of a system as an additional independent variable.
