8. DiscRim Innovations plc has launched 500 new products over the last two years. Most but not all of the products have been "successful" (by which DiscRim mean they are making a profit within 3 months), otherwise the launch is regarded as a "failure". In order to understand the likely success of new products, DiscRim have collected particulars (in the form of 4 key variables X1, X2, X3 and X4) about the 500 products they have already launched. From this information they have created a discriminant analysis model which gives a discriminant function of Y = 1.5X1 - 2.6X2 + 0.4X3 +2.0X4 The cut off score for Y is 2.0, above which a product is classified as a "success'. Of the 500 products, 400 of them were indeed a "success" and the model classified 350 of these "successes" correctly. Overall the model suggested that 420 of the products would be a "success". (a) Construct a confusion matrix to show the model's performance on this 'fitted' data. What is the apparent error rate (APER)? (4 marks) (b) Subsequent to formulating the discriminant model DiscRim launch 5 more products (A, B, C, D and E) and use the model to predict "success" or "failure". The variables associated with these 5 products (and whether they actually turn out to be a "success") are given below. They decided to launch these 5 products anyway. Product X1 X2 X3 X4 Actually a "Success"? A 3 5 4 1 YES B 6 2 5 1 YES C 5 3 1 0.5 NO D 2 3 NO m 4 2 2 3 0 YES What is the actual error rate (AER)? Why is this result surprising?
