Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.207 Interpreting Sinusoidal Residual Patterns skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A line, a quadratic, and a sinusoidal model are fit to the same time series. The line residuals are wavy, the quadratic residuals are wavy with smaller size, and the sinusoidal residuals are random with similar small size. Which judgment is best?

AThe quadratic model is best because it is curved.

BThe line is best because its residuals are easiest to describe.

CAll three are equally supported because each has residuals.

DThe sinusoidal model is best supported because it leaves no systematic residual pattern.

Solution & Explanation:Residual pattern matters. The sinusoidal model explains the repeating structure that remains in the line and quadratic residuals.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which workflow best matches good practice for deciding whether a sinusoidal model is appropriate?

AFit a sinusoidal model to every data set and ignore residuals.

BUse only the largest observed value and smallest observed value.

CLook for periodic behavior, fit a sinusoidal model, and check that residuals are randomly scattered around 0.

DChoose the model whose residuals form the smoothest wave.

Solution & Explanation:A sinusoidal model should be motivated by periodic behavior and then checked with residuals. A remaining residual wave means more work is needed.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A researcher fits a sinusoidal model to temperature but forgets the units and uses a period of 365 months instead of 365 days. The residual plot over several years shows a strong yearly wave. What does the plot reveal?

AThe amplitude is definitely too large and nothing else is wrong.

BThe model period is badly mismatched to the data's yearly cycle.

CThe model is correct because 365 appears in both units.

DThe residuals prove temperature is not periodic.

Solution & Explanation:The yearly wave left in the residuals shows the model did not use the correct cycle length for the data's time units.
