Chapter 8 Index Models 163 Multiple Choice Questions 1. As diversification increases the total variance of a portfolio approaches ____________. A 0 B 1 C the variance of the market portfolio D infinity E none of the above Answer: C Difficulty: Easy Rationale: As more and more securities are added to the portfolio unsystematic risk decreases and most of the remaining risk is systematic as measured by the variance of the market portfolio. 2. The index model was first suggested by ____________. A Graham

Answers to Midterm Test No. 1 1. Consider a regression model of relating Y (the dependent variable) to X (the independent variable) Yi = (0 + (1Xi+ (i where (i is the stochastic or error term. Suppose that the estimated regression equation is stated as Yi = (0 + (1Xi and ei is the residual error term. A. What is ei and define it precisely. Explain how it is related to (i. ei is the residual error term in the sample regression function and is defined as eI hat = Y

The multiple nuclei model is also known as Harris and Ullman Multiple Nuclei Model. As shown in Figure 1‚ this model suggests that the land use pattern is built not around a single centre 13 but around several discrete nuclei. On that note‚ smaller business district acts as satellite nodes‚ or nuclei‚ of activity around which land use pattern formed. This model based on the notion that central business district (CBD) was losing its dominate and primacy as the nucleus of urban areas. However‚ it differed

linear regression In statistics‚ linear regression is an approach to model the relationship between a scalar dependent variable y and one or more explanatory variables denoted X. The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable‚ it is called multiple linear regression. (This term should be distinguished from multivariate linear regression‚ where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted‚[citation needed] rather than a single

Each attribute that theoretically identified as price determinant is priced and the perceived contribution of each is explicitly shown and statiscally defended. This paper demonstrates how the statistical analysis is capable of analyzing property investment by considering multiple determinants.

Limitations: Regression analysis is a commonly used tool for companies to make predictions based on certain variables. Even though it is very common there are still limitations that arise when producing the regression‚ which can skew the results. The Number of Variables: The first limitation that we noticed in our regression model is the number of variables that we used. The more companies that you have to compare the greater the chance your model will be significant. We have found that
