A linear regression model, model.1a, is constructed to predict wages based on age, gender, education level, marital status, and geographical indicators.
The model is evaluated using the summary() function, providing statistical information and diagnostic measures.
The top predictors identified from the analysis are age, female, education level, marital status, metropolitan residence, South, and Midwest.
Model performance is assessed using the predict() function and calculating the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) to measure the deviation between observed and predicted wage values.
