Plot the logarithm of arrivals for each transportation mode against time, all on the same graph. Which now appears to be growing the fastest?
Suppose you have an extra six months of data on demands and prices, in addition to the data in the example. These extra data points are (350,84), (385,72), (410,67), (400,62), (330,92), and (480,53). (The price is shown first and then the demand at that price.) After adding these points to the original data, use Excel’s Trendline tool to find the best-fitting linear, power, and exponential trend lines. Then calculate the MAPE for each of these, based on all 18 months of data. Does the power curve still have the smallest MAPE?
Choose one of the following forecasting methods discussed in this chapter: last-value, averaging, moving-average, or exponential smoothing. Identify the conditions when the method is most appropriate to use and give an example of an application of this method.
A researcher has a sample of 6 annual observations {94, 104, 102, 99, 111 and 107} for the CPI in country Z for the period 2015 to 2020, and wants to forecast CPI for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. The researcher uses 3 different forecasting models: A, B and C. Model A is an AR(1) model with no drift and with an estimated autoregressive coefficient = 0.7. Model B is a MA(1) model with no constant and with an estimated MA coefficient = -0.4 (note the minus !). Model C is a random walk model with no drift. The error terms over the 2015-2020 period were estimated to have the values: {3, -1, 2, 4, -3, 1}. a. Compute the 2021, 2022 and 2023 forecasted values for the consumer price index based on the three models. Show the formulas and the details of your calculations, and explain all the related symbols. b. Suppose that the actual values of the CPI over the 2021, 2022 and 2023 were {108, 114, 105}. Calculate the Root mean square error of the three model forecasts over the 2021-2023…
Ypsilanti Market Research conducted a survey to find out whether people who earn more money purchase more expensive goods. The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the car that they purchased. The variable shown on the vertical axis is __________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are _________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $50,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to…
The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula c=5.2/0.1+0.3t Here C is measured in thousands and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006 when the magazine was started. Find when the circulation of the magazines will reach 34.83 thousand. Write the equation you are solving.
Suppose that in the country of Sudland, when the yearly rate of economic growth fell from 3.0% to 1.5%, the yearly rate of increase in airborne pollutants fell from 6% to 5%. What is the average slope of a nonlinear curve between these points using the arc method? The average slope is
Estimate the double-log (log linear) time trend model for log cruise ship arrivals against log time. Estimate a linear time trend model of cruise ship arrivals against time. Calculate the root mean square error between the predicted and actual value of cruise ship arrivals. Is the root mean square error greater for the double log non-linear time trend model or for the linear time trend model?
The forecasting staff for the Prizer Corporation has developed a model to predict sales of its air-cushioned-ride snowmobiles. The model specifies that sales S vary jointly with disposable personal income Y and the population between ages 15 and 40, Z, and inversely with the price of the snowmobiles P. Based on past data, the best estimate of this relationship is S=kYZP where k has been estimated (with past data) to equal 100. If Y=11,000,Z=1,200, and P=20,000, what value would you predict for S? What happens if P is reduced to $17,500? How would you go about developing a value for k? What are the potential weaknesses of this model?
Q2B. Which of the following are limitations of using Impulse Response Functions(IRFs) in time series analysis?i. IRFs are only valid for linear time series models.ii. IRFs assume that the underlying time series is stationary.iii. IRFs can provide information about the short-term dynamics of the relationshipbetween variables, but they do not capture longer-term effects or otherimportant aspects of the relationship.iv. IRFs depend on the specification of the model used to estimate the relationshipbetween variables.
