What is Network?
When one computer linking with another computer or more than one computer and purpose of sharing data then we can say its
called Network. For network we need minimum two computers.
Types of Network:
We have three types of Network:
1.
LAN
2.
MAN
3.
WAN
Local Area Network (LAN): A LAN connects network devices over a
relatively short distance.
Example: lab, school, or
building.
Data
Transfer Speed: 10 Mbps
Uses devices: Repeater, Hub,
Network Interface
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): MAN,
consists of a computer network across an entire city, college campus or small
region. A MAN is larger than a LAN, which is typically limited to a single building
or site.
Data Transfer Speed: Gigabit per
second
Uses devices: Router, switch,
Microwave Antenna
WAN (Wide Area Network): WAN,
occupies a very large area, such as an entire country or the entire world. A
WAN can contain multiple smaller networks, such as LANs or MANs. The Internet
is the best-known example of a public WAN.
Data Transfer Speed: 56 Kbps to 1.5444 Mbps
Uses devices: Router, WAN switch,
Modem
What is topology?
A topology is the physical configuration of a network that determines how the network's computers are connected.
Physical Topology
- Classification of physical Topology
- Point-to-point
- Bus
- Star
- Ring
- Mesh
- Tree

Introduction to Linux for Beginners (Part 2)
Linux Distributions
Linux distribution is a collection of
(usually open source) software on top of a Linux kernel. A distribution (or
short, distro) can bundle server software, system management tools,
documentation and many desktop applications in a central secure software repository. A distribution aims to provide a common look and feel, secure and
easy software management and
often a specific operational purpose. Here
some popular distributions:
Red Hat
Ubuntu
Debian
Other
CentOS, Oracle Enterprise Linux and Scientific Linux are based on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and share many of the same principles, directories and system
administration technique. There are more than hundreds of other Linux
distributions.
Which one you choose?
If you only would like to practice
the Linux command line then install one CentOS server and/or one Ubuntu server (without
graphical interface).
How
to get Linux OS:
Maximum Linux distributions are
free. So you can easily get Linux distribution from internet.
If you do not have access to a
Linux computer at the moment, and if you are unable or unsure
about installing Linux on your
computer, then you first install virtual machine (Virtualbox) is easy
and safe or you can also use VMWare.

“Favorite Fast Food Prediction with Live Data”
……………………………………………………………………………
Introduction:
A regression with two or more
explanatory variables is called a multiple regression. Rather than modeling the
mean response as a straight line, as in simple regression, it is now modeled as
a function of several explanatory variables. The function lm can be used to
perform multiple linear regression in R and much of the syntax is the same as
that used for fitting simple linear regression models. To perform multiple
linear regression with p explanatory variables use the command:
>lm(response ~ explanatory_1 +
explanatory_2 + … + explanatory_p)
Here the terms response and explanatory_i
in the function should be replaced by the names of the response and
explanatory variables, respectively, used in the analysis.
Ex. Data was collected on 50 guest
recently sold in the Frankfurt city. It consisted of the "Age" ,
"Gender", "Occupation", "Fav_FastFood",
"Price", "Q_Service", "Taste_Food", "Monthly_Visit",
"Reasons_Visit" &
"Satisfaction".
The
following program reads in the data.
>data1<-read.csv(file.choose(),header=T) # Read data
from Guest Feedback Excel CSV File
>data1
Suppose we are only interested in
working with a subset of the variables (e.g. “Fav_FastFood” , “Price”, and
“Age”). It is possible (but not necessary) to construct a new data frame
consisting solely of these values using the commands:
>
myvars=c('Fav_FastFood','Age', 'Price')
> Guestdata=data1[myvars]
> names(Guestdata)
[1] "Fav_FastFood" "Age" "Price"
> Guestdata

Before
fitting our regression model we want to investigate how the variables are
related to one another. We can do this graphically by constructing scatter
plots of all pair-wise combinations of variables in the data frame. This can be
done by typing:
Guestdata=c(”Fav_FastFood”,”Age”,”Price”)
>plot(Guestdata)
To fit a multiple linear regression
model with “Fav_FastFood” as the response / dependent variable and “Age” and “Price” as the explanatory / independent variables, use the
command:
> Guestdata=(lm(Fav_FastFood~Age+Price))
> Guestdata
Call:
lm(formula = Fav_FastFood ~
Age + Price)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) Age Price
4.5163 -0.9469 0.2334
This output indicates that the fitted
value is given by, Y^=4.5163 + -0.9469x1 + 0.2334x2
Inference in the multiple regression setting is typically performed in a number of steps. We begin by testing whether the explanatory variables collectively have an effect on the response variable, i.e.
H0:
β1=β2=….βp=0
If we can reject this hypothesis, we continue by testing whether the individual regression coefficients are significant while controlling for the other variables in the model.
We can access
the results of each test by typing:
>
Guestdata=(lm(Fav_FastFood~Age+Price)) # Reduced Model
>
summary(Guestdata)
Call:
lm(formula
= Fav_FastFood ~ Age + Price)

The output shows that F = 4.075 (p < 0.02333), indicating that we should clearly accept the null hypothesis that the variable Age collectively have effect on Fav_FastFood. But Price has no effect on Fav_FastFood (response variable).In addition, the output also shows that R2= 0.1478 and R2 adjusted = 0.1115.
Testing a subset of variables using a partial F-test
Sometimes we are
interested in simultaneously testing whether a certain subset of the
coefficients are equal to 0 (e.g. 3 = 4 = 0). We can do this using a partial F-test. This test involves comparing
the SSE from a reduced model
(excluding the parameters we hypothesis are equal to zero) with the SSE from
the full model (including all of the
parameters).
In R we can perform partial F-tests by
fitting both the reduced and full models separately and thereafter comparing
them using the anova function.
Ex. Suppose we include the variables
“Age”, “Price”"Gender", "Occupation",
"Q_Service", "Taste_Food",
"Monthly_Visit", "Reasons_Visit" &
"Satisfaction" in our model and are interested in testing whether the
"Gender", "Occupation", "Q_Service",
"Taste_Food", "Monthly_Visit", “Price”,
"Reasons_Visit" & "Satisfaction" are not significant
after taking “Age” into consideration.

The output shows
the results of the partial F-test. Since F=
0.4142 (p-value=0.8878) we can
reject the null hypothesis (3 = 4 = 0) at the 5% level of significance. It
appears that the variables "Gender", "Occupation",”Price”
"Q_Service", "Taste_Food",
"Monthly_Visit", "Reasons_Visit" & "Satisfaction"
do contribute significant information to the “Favorite Fast Food” once the
variable “Age” has not taken into consideration.
Confidence
and Prediction Intervals
We often use our
regression models to estimate the mean response or predict future values of the
response variable for certain values of the response variables. The function
predict() can be used to make both confidence intervals for the mean response
and prediction intervals. To make confidence intervals for the mean response
use the option interval=”confidence”. To make a prediction interval use the
option interval=”prediction”. By default this makes 95% confidence and
prediction intervals. If you instead want to make a 99% confidence or
prediction interval use the option level=0.99.
Ex. Obtain a 95% confidence interval
for the mean Fav_FastFood of Age whose level is 2 and Price level is 2).

A 95% prediction interval is given by
(0.287413, 5.891067).
Note
that
this is quite a bit wider than the
confidence interval, indicating that the variation about the mean is fairly
large.
Conclusion:
After consideration of all scenarios we
formulate our multiple regression model equation and we observed that only “Age” (independent variable) has the significant
impact on choosing the Favorite Fast
Food (response variable).
