Mathematical modeling

Problem: We all hate seeing spam in our inbox, but what we hate even more is when real emails wind up in the spam folder. Suppose that each time we see a spam email in our inbox, we get 1 happiness unit more sad each time a real email winds up in the spam folder, we get 5 happiness units more sad. Our happiness is unaffected by correct classifications.

##### How much happiness do we lose using the Additive Model? How much happiness do we lose using the Logistic model? Report your answers as happiness loss-per-email-received. (Use the test data for your calculations)

Data description
The test data has 58 columns 57 are independent variables (wordcount and character count for example) is.spam is the dependent variable. 1= is spam. 0= no spam there is a total of 1536 entries. 0= 941 and 1= 595

Column names are as follows ( I did not find any information relevant in the test data that can help with the problem)

[1] "word_freq_make" "word_freq_address" "word_freq_all" "word_freq_3d" [5] "word_freq_our" "word_freq_over" "word_freq_remove" "word_freq_internet" [9] "word_freq_order" "word_freq_mail" "word_freq_receive" "word_freq_will" [13] "word_freq_people" "word_freq_report" "word_freq_addresses" "word_freq_free" [17] "word_freq_business" "word_freq_email" "word_freq_you" "word_freq_credit" [21] "word_freq_your" "word_freq_font" "word_freq_000" "word_freq_money" [25] "word_freq_hp" "word_freq_hpl" "word_freq_george" "word_freq_650" [29] "word_freq_lab" "word_freq_labs" "word_freq_telnet" "word_freq_857" [33] "word_freq_data" "word_freq_415" "word_freq_85" "word_freq_technology" [37] "word_freq_1999" "word_freq_parts" "word_freq_pm" "word_freq_direct" [41] "word_freq_cs" "word_freq_meeting" "word_freq_original" "word_freq_project" [45] "word_freq_re" "word_freq_edu" "word_freq_table" "word_freq_conference" [49] "char_freq_semicolon" "char_freq_parens" "char_freq_bracket" "char_freq_exclamation" [53] "char_freq_dollar" "char_freq_pound" "capital_run_length_average" "capital_run_length_longest" [57] "capital_run_length_total" "is.spam"

I need to use functions gam() and glm() in R programming 

  • Bounty is too low

  • Sorry I can't increase it more..Please help me. it is the only question left out of 35. I have tried everything

    I agree with Schwartstack, the bouty is low. This may take more than an hour to answer.

    Could you rewrite this please: "Suppose that each time we see a spam email in our inbox, we get 1 happiness unit more sad each time a real email winds up in the spam folder, we get 5 happiness units more sad."

    Also, should we aim to train the 'best' possible models or just use the default ones? Should we do feature selection or cross validation or just train a simple model with all observations?
