HOUSING DATA ANALYSIS

Graphic Analysis
Boxplot: It looks like there are seven outliers in the price set

Using the uvapairs code, I developed the following chart

It looks like the size and price of the house have a roughly linear relationship, with the highest pearson coeff amongst the variables

Principle Components Analysis

I first found the principal components for the variables Price, Rooms, Baths, and Size. We leave out the age variable since it is categorical.
house.pca <- princomp(house[,c("Rooms","Baths","Size","Price")],cor=T) > par(mfrow = c(1,1)) > biplot(house.pca)

Notably, Price is roughly othoganal with rooms, while price, size, and baths are all in the same general direction.

Size comprises .559 of the first component, followed by price at .51.
