u Regression Analysis
A lasso regression model was used to establish a framework for predicting salaries for engineers and geoscientists working in different industries.
This process was used to:
• Identify how closely factors are associated with salaries
• Identify Boolean components (such as receipt of professional designation) influencing salary
• Create a linear formula that effectively predicts salaries while minimizing model overfitting
The model explains about 57 per cent (57.2%) of variance in salary. A formula was produced which members of APEGS can easily use to
estimate their salary.
