To assess the impact of automobile design and performance
characteristics on fuel efficiency, measured in miles per gallon
(MPG
), we apply our data visualization tool to the
mtcars

It is imperative to acknowledge that variables such as engine
configuration (specifically, the straight engine vs1
) and
vehicle weight
influence fuel efficiency the most, with the
effect of vs
variable remaining consistent when examining
changes in coefficients of continuous variables occurring within
empirical data spanning from the first (Q1) to the third (Q3) quartiles
by default. Nonetheless, a paradigm shift is observed for several other
variables when the analysis transitions from a per-unit change
perspective (as depicted in the left plot) to an examination of
variations between the Q1 and Q3 quartiles (illustrated in the right
plot). Under this new analytical lens, displacement
and
horsepower
emerge as the third positive and first negative
most influential factors, respectively. This shift in variable
significance can be attributed to the fact that the differences in
displacement and horsepower among the majority of vehicles do not
typically equate to a mere 1 cubic inch or 1 horsepower. Consequently,
this phenomenon underscores the criticality of considering the
distribution of variables in the interpretation of regression outcomes,
as reliance on per-unit interpretations may lead to misconceptions.

Upon examination of the regression coefficients derived from the
empirical data distribution for a change between Q1 and Q3 for
continuous independent variables, it is evident that the
math
score variable exerts the highest impact on the odds
of selecting an academic program as shown on the right plot.
Concurrently, the variable gendermale
which predominates in
influence as depicted in the left plot, transitions to the position of
minimal positive impact within this context.

Note that on Lasso regression plots two values of regularization parameter λ are indicated: λmin and λ1se. What is the difference? The first, λminis the value that minimizes the cross-validated error, leading to a model that fits the data with the lowest prediction error, but with a potential risk of overfitting. Conversely,λ1se. is a more conservative choice, representing the largest λ within one standard error of the minimum error, resulting in a simpler, more robust model that is less likely to overfit while maintaining a prediction error close to the minimum. For our analysis we select λmin.
The LASSO regression has reduced the coefficient for the
weight
variable to zero, likely due to its high correlation
with other variables included in the analysis.

In the realm of our visualization tool, two primary inquiries emerge:
*How does the Odds Ratio (OR) change with a unit increment in the variables under scrutiny?
*How does the OR vary in response to alterations exceeding a single unit, such as the disparity between the first (Q1) and third (Q3) quartiles within the data distribution?
It is crucial to acknowledge that the data distribution may not
always support a per-unit interpretation, as exemplified by the
age
variable within our dataset. Consequently, when
engaging in calculations that encompass changes across quartiles, it is
advisable to employ rounding strategies (either floor or ceiling
functions) prior to data input. This approach facilitates the comparison
of ORs associated with unit age discrepancies (e.g., 1 year) against
those pertaining to more substantial differences (e.g., 10 years).
Absence of rounding can lead to nuanced interpretations. Consider,
for instance, the interquartile range for the age
variable,
which is calculated as Q3 - Q1 (52.08 - 42.50 = 9.58 years). In such
scenarios, the OR derived from the Q3 to Q1 variation in
age
essentially compares the odds of mortality among
individuals with an age gap of 9.58 years, a differential that may not
intuitively serve as the most illustrative measure. In the
vis_reg()
function, the round_func
parameter
allows for the specification of rounding the calculated differences
either upwards or downwards to the nearest integer, thus providing a
more instinctual explication.

Although the data input is centered and scaled, the coefficients and
CIs are presented on the original scale. The package includes a function
named detransform
that carries out the re-scaling and
de-centering process for effective size difference calculations.
Alternatively, consider rounding down or up before passing the data to
the function.

In the domain of Selective Inference, it is noteworthy that CIs may not encompass the estimated coefficients. To elucidate, scenarios may arise wherein both bounds of the confidence intervals are positioned beneath the estimated coefficients. The following example is reproduced without any changes from “Tools for Post-Selection Inference” (pp.9-10).

The vis_reg() function operates by extracting the
necessary information from the provided object. However, in the context
of generating CIS with penalty factors for fixedLassoInf
type objects, a dual transformation, as illustrated previously, is
necessary. Direct reconstruction from the passed object is not possible
in such instances. Therefore, to obtain CIs for
fixedLassoInf
objects that have been fitted using penalty
factors, it is essential to supply the original, non-transformed
data.
# note that case_penalty=T and x_data_orig must be specified
# effective change between Q1(2) and max(5)
grid.arrange(vis_reg(out_heart_res, CI=T, glmnet_fct_var=c("surgery1"),
case_penalty=T, x_data_orig=x_heart_orig,
eff_size_diff=c(2,5))$"SidebySide")
It is important to observe that when the computed effective size
difference is below 1, such would have been the case if we utilized
default Q3 - Q1 difference which is 7.217 - 6.519 = 0.698 ( see
summary(heart_df_filtered$sqrt.age)
), the OR on the right
plot would correspond to a change of less than one
unit. As a result, the numerical values presented on the right plot
would be lower than those on the left plot. This outcome may appear
counter intuitive at first glance.
