Modelling U.S News and World Report Liberal Arts Colleges Rankings

Description

Amy created a multiple regression model to predict a school's ranking on U.S. News' list of top liberal arts colleges for 2014. An initial model was created using best subset regression. An extra sum of squares test was then used to determine the impact of the 75th percentile SAT score that admitted students of a particular college received. This study emphasizes issues with multicollinearity in multivariable regression.
