carry out regression analysis

The Excel file contains data for both untreated and treated waste samples. The data includes the following physical parameters:
  • pH
  • Turbidity (NTU)
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC) (us/cm)
  • Total Solids (TS)
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
Let's proceed with a regression analysis. We will perform regression analysis to understand the relationship between these parameters for both untreated and treated samples.
The cleaned data for both untreated and treated samples is as follows:
Untreated Samples:
PHTURBIDITY (NTU)EC (us/cm)TSTDSTSS
06.4718.361.652.31.860.44
18.449.481.974.281.682.6
28.878.341.312.061.10.96
36.529.732.862.020.51.52
45.135.930.171.260.30.96
Treated Samples:
PHTURBIDITY (NTU)EC (us/cm)TSTDSTSS
06.711.2410.398.842.36
16.940.8480.7695.244.68
26.420.5160.9273.941.04
36.370.5750.9233.361.84
47.540.4870.2021.440.92
Next, let's perform regression analysis to understand the relationships between these parameters.
It appears there is an issue with the treated data, specifically with non-numeric values in the 'PH' column. We need to clean the data further to ensure all values are numeric before performing regression analysis.
It seems that after converting the columns to numeric and dropping non-numeric values, the treated data is now empty. This indicates that the treated data might have significant non-numeric entries.
We can proceed with the regression analysis on the untreated data alone. Let's perform the regression analysis on the untreated data.
The regression analysis on the untreated data yielded the following results:

Continue the analysis

The scatter plots above show the regression results for the untreated data. Each plot compares the actual values to the predicted values for each physical parameter:
  1. Turbidity (NTU)
  2. EC (us/cm)
  3. TS
  4. TDS
  5. TSS
The perfect fit (R-squared score of 1.0) is evident from the linear relationship in each plot, where the actual values align perfectly with the predicted values.

What do the coefficients indicate about the relationships?

Interpretation of Coefficients

The coefficients in a regression model represent the relationship between each independent variable and the dependent variable. Specifically, they indicate the change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the independent variable, holding all other variables constant.
Let's interpret the coefficients for each parameter:
  1. Turbidity (NTU):
    • PH: -0.0144 (Negative relationship)
    • Turbidity (NTU): 0.9892 (Positive relationship)
    • EC (us/cm): 0.0238 (Positive relationship)
    • TS: -0.0292 (Negative relationship)
    • TDS: 0.0950 (Positive relationship)
    • Intercept: 0.142
    • Interpretation: Turbidity is most strongly influenced by its own previous values, with a nearly 1:1 relationship. Other variables have smaller impacts.
  2. EC (us/cm):
    • PH: 0.0319 (Positive relationship)
    • Turbidity (NTU): 0.0238 (Positive relationship)
    • EC (us/cm): 0.9473 (Positive relationship)
    • TS: 0.0646 (Positive relationship)
    • TDS: -0.2103 (Negative relationship)
    • Intercept: -0.314
    • Interpretation: EC is most strongly influenced by its own previous values, with a nearly 1:1 relationship. TDS has a negative impact on EC.
  3. TS:
    • PH: -0.0390 (Negative relationship)
    • Turbidity (NTU): -0.0292 (Negative relationship)
    • EC (us/cm): 0.0646 (Positive relationship)
    • TS: 0.9210 (Positive relationship)
    • TDS: 0.2573 (Positive relationship)
    • Intercept: 0.385
    • Interpretation: TS is most strongly influenced by its own previous values. TDS also has a positive impact on TS.
  4. TDS:
    • PH: 0.1271 (Positive relationship)
    • Turbidity (NTU): 0.0950 (Positive relationship)
    • EC (us/cm): -0.2103 (Negative relationship)
    • TS: 0.2573 (Positive relationship)
    • TDS: 0.1618 (Positive relationship)
    • Intercept: -1.253
    • Interpretation: TDS is influenced by multiple factors, with TS having the most significant positive impact. EC has a negative impact on TDS.
  5. TSS:
    • PH: -0.1662 (Negative relationship)
    • Turbidity (NTU): -0.1242 (Negative relationship)
    • EC (us/cm): 0.2748 (Positive relationship)
    • TS: 0.6636 (Positive relationship)
    • TDS: 0.0955 (Positive relationship)
    • Intercept: 1.637
    • Interpretation: TSS is most strongly influenced by TS, with a positive relationship. PH and Turbidity have negative impacts on TSS.

Summary

The coefficients provide insights into how each independent variable affects the dependent variables. In general, each parameter is most strongly influenced by its own previous values, with other variables having varying degrees of impact. Positive coefficients indicate a direct relationship, while negative coefficients indicate an inverse relationship.

compute the ANOVA of the treated and the untreated data

The ANOVA results for the treated and untreated data are as follows:
  • Turbidity (NTU):
    • F-value: NaN
    • p-value: NaN
  • EC (us/cm):
    • F-value: NaN
    • p-value: NaN
  • TS:
    • F-value: NaN
    • p-value: NaN
  • TDS:
    • F-value: NaN
    • p-value: NaN
  • TSS:
    • F-value: NaN
    • p-value: NaN
The NaN (Not a Number) values indicate that the ANOVA test could not be performed. This is likely due to the treated data being empty after converting columns to numeric values and dropping non-numeric entries.
To proceed with the ANOVA analysis, we need to ensure that both treated and untreated datasets have valid numeric entries. Please verify the treated data or provide additional information to correct the dataset.
If you have any further questions or need additional analysis, feel free to ask!

Continue the analysis

The treated data appears to be empty after the previous data cleaning steps. This is why the ANOVA test returned NaN values.
To proceed with the analysis, we need to ensure that the treated dataset contains valid numeric entries. Please verify the treated data or provide additional information to correct the dataset.
If you have any further questions or need additional analysis, feel free to ask!

Continue the analysis

It appears that there was an error loading the sheets from the Excel file. The sheet 'Untreated' was not found.
Could you please confirm the sheet names in the Excel file? This will help ensure that we load the correct data for analysis.
The Excel file contains only one sheet named "Sheet1". Let's proceed by loading the data from this sheet and inspecting it.
The dataset appears to contain both treated and untreated data, but it is not in a tidy format. The first two rows seem to be headers, and the actual data starts from the third row.
To proceed, we need to clean and separate the treated and untreated data. Let's perform the following steps:
  1. Skip the first two rows and read the data starting from the third row.
  2. Separate the treated and untreated data based on the sample labels.
  3. Perform ANOVA on the cleaned datasets.
Let's start by cleaning the data.
The error
The error indicates that the lengths of the variables in the untreated and treated datasets differ. This is likely because the treated dataset is empty or has fewer rows than the untreated dataset.
To proceed, we need to ensure that both datasets have valid numeric entries and are of the same length. Let's inspect the dimensions of both datasets to understand the issue better.

How can I balance the treated and untreated data?

To balance the treated and untreated data, we can either sample from the larger dataset to match the size of the smaller dataset or use all available data from the smaller dataset and randomly sample the same number of rows from the larger dataset.
Given that the treated dataset has only 1 row, we will randomly sample 1 row from the untreated dataset to match the size of the treated dataset.
Let's proceed with this approach.
The balanced data now contains 1 row from the untreated dataset and 1 row from the treated dataset. However, it seems there is an issue with the treated data, as it contains header information instead of actual data.
To proceed, we need to clean the treated data properly and ensure it contains valid numeric entries. Let's inspect the treated data again and clean it.
The treated data contains header information instead of actual data. This indicates that the treated data was not properly separated from the full dataset.
To correct this, we need to re-examine the full dataset and correctly identify the rows corresponding to the treated samples. Let's inspect the full dataset again to identify the treated samples.
The full dataset shows that the treated samples start from row 11 onwards. The first 5 rows correspond to untreated samples, and rows 11 to 15 correspond to treated samples.
Let's correctly separate the treated and untreated data based on these observations.
The treated and untreated datasets have been correctly separated and cleaned. Both datasets now contain valid numeric entries.
  • The untreated dataset has 5 rows and 7 columns.
  • The treated dataset has 5 rows and 7 columns.
You can now proceed with further analysis or visualization. If you have any specific questions or need further analysis, please let me know!

Can you compare the EC values between treated and untreated samples?

The boxplot above compares the EC values between treated and untreated samples. The untreated samples generally have higher EC values compared to the treated samples. The jitter points show the individual EC values for each sample.
