Use predict function to access predicted probabilities and print some sample probabilities

Logistic regression predicting direction, but direction a categorical variable! Use contrasts to check which category corresponds to 1 and 0.

contrasts(Smarket$Direction)
##      Up
## Down  0
## Up    1

Translate predictions back into Up/Down

glm.pred=rep("Down",1250)
glm.pred[glm.probs>.5]="Up"

Compare predictions to reality

table(glm.pred,Direction)
##         Direction
## glm.pred Down  Up
##     Down  145 141
##     Up    457 507
mean(glm.pred==Direction)
## [1] 0.5216

Lets try to split this up into training and testing data to better see how accuracy is.

train=(Year<2005)
Smarket.2005 = Smarket[!train,]
Direction.2005 = Direction[!train]
dim(Smarket.2005)
## [1] 252   9

Fit a model to just training data using subset command

glm.fits = glm(Direction~Lag1+Lag2+Lag3+Lag4+Lag5+Volume,
               data=Smarket,
               family=binomial,
               subset = train)
glm.probs = predict(glm.fits,Smarket.2005,type="response")
glm.pred=rep("Down",252)
glm.pred[glm.probs>.5]="Up"
table(glm.pred,Direction.2005)
##         Direction.2005
## glm.pred Down Up
##     Down   77 97
##     Up     34 44

Performance not so good, check the average accuracy

mean(glm.pred==Direction.2005)
## [1] 0.4801587

Maybe we can mprove our model by only including Lag1 and Lag2 which were the most statistically significant

glm.fits = glm(Direction~Lag1+Lag2,
               data=Smarket,
               family=binomial,
               subset = train)
glm.probs = predict(glm.fits,Smarket.2005,type="response")
glm.pred=rep("Down",252)
glm.pred[glm.probs>.5]="Up"
table(glm.pred,Direction.2005)
##         Direction.2005
## glm.pred Down  Up
##     Down   35  35
##     Up     76 106
mean(glm.pred==Direction.2005)
## [1] 0.5595238

A much better performance. Perhaps the more complex model was overfitting!
