4. Methodology 4.1. Analytical Framework (Generalized Spatial Two-Stage Least Square: GS2SLS) Hedonic price model has been developed and widely used to identify the factors explaining housing prices (Malpezzi, 2003). In this study, we deal with additional two statistical issues such as endogeneity between land use and housing price and spatial autocorrelation between housing prices. First, endogeneity should be carefully accounted for when measuring the effect of land use on housing prices because
independent variables (IVs), also known as predictor variables, and a dependent variable (DV) (Sen & Srivastava, 2012). The purpose of the report is to summarize and analyze the Virginia Hospitals data from 2005 to determine run a multiple regression model against multiple predictor variables and determine statistical significance between the various hospital variables (i.e. independent variables) and the Total Operating Expense (TOE). A multiple linear regression was calculated to predict the DV (i
Business Decision Making Project, Part 2 The business problem at UnitedHealth Group is the high turnover of employees because of lack of recognition and management of manpower. In part one, it was determined that I use qualitative data. This methods chosen allows us to group the data into the necessary categories. I determined that the research variable is recognition and this would solve the issue of the high turnover rate. Identify the types of descriptive statistics that might be best for summarizing
underestimates the amounts in the peaks and troughs. On the other hand, the LSTM RNN is more adaptable(Figure 5.3). However it does not trace the original dataset perfectly, but still, it fits the peaks and troughs of the dataset better. 39 CHAPTER 5.

Ball 1 Missouri Counties Introduction: Does the size of a county’s population have any correlation to the number of individuals that are incarcerated within that county? Every year data is collected through the Annual Survey of Jails (AJS) that provides information on the characteristics and make-up of the Nation’s jails and inmates housed in these jails. The Offender Profile is another method of collection for the state of Missouri, reporting important statistics about the offenders supervised
Statistical Analysis of Campus Crime Reported by Xing Huang Abstract The report sets out two hypothesizes to examine whether the factors—acceptance rate, campus size, private and number of admin staff—have a influence on the number of both 2010 and 2011 burglaries. The purpose of this report is to provide evidence for city managers to deal with the campus crime. The analysis indicates that city managers should carry out a more effective program for private schools to protect students from campus
Effect of Levying Taxes on Sales and Customer Purchase Behavior Online (Difference-in-differences estimation) Section 1: Statement of Policy/Research Question The advent of the internet led to an alternative platform for buying and selling goods. If sales tax is applicable only to goods sold outside of the internet, it would be interesting to see if that means people inclined to making purchases online where they would not need to pay sales tax. We want to see if there is a causal relationship between
We go through life day by day listening to music on our favorite websites and apps without realizing what steps we took to reach the verdict of choosing one streaming service over another. To understand the consumer, their needs, and their basis for decision-making in a rapidly growing industry is to have a significant competitive advantage over the competition. That is why when the time came for our group to select research ideas for the Marketing Research Project this semester, we were intrigued
INTRODUCTION In March 2015, Japan’s Financial Markets Agency for the first time in its history set out Corporate Governance Code and a year earlier Stewardship Code. Even though some efforts towards corporate governance and transparency have been made in Japan previously, specifically introduction of dual system in 2003, they did not gain popularity. Only 40 out of 3,000 firms adopted this system immediately rising to 112 five years later. However, these codes were necessary due to the pressure
Furthermore, the relationship between age and confidence in God’s existence is positive. This is supported by the Pearson’s R value of .107, which is above 0 making it positive, found in Table 2. However, because a value of 1 represents a perfectly positive linear line, the low R value suggests that our line is nearly horizontal and will have a small slope. In order to find how confident we are this relationship exists we can run a t-test for R, which is included at the bottom of Table 1. The test
