Using R for Introductory Statistics : John Verzani

Using R for introductory statistics 342What is the estimated weight for the patient if he stays on this program for the longrun? Suppose the model held for 365 days. How much would the patient be expected toweigh?12.9 The reddrum (UsingR) data set contains length-at-age data for the red drum fish.Try to fit both the models(These are the von Bertalanffy and “linear” von Bertalanffy curves.) Use the AIC todetermine which is preferred.Good starting values for the “linear” curve are 32, 1/4, 1/2, and 0.12.10 The data set midsize (UsingR) contains values of three popular midsize cars forthe years 1990 to 2004. The 2004 price is the new-car price, the others values of usedcars. For each car, fit the exponential model with decay. Compare the decay rates to seewhich car depreciates faster. (Use the variable year=2004-Year and the model for themean µ y|x =Ne −rt .)
