Stock Market Prices Do Not Follow Random Walks: Evidence from a Simple Specification Test Andrew W. Lo A. Craig MacKinlay University of Pennsylvania In this article we test the random walk hypothesis for weekly stock market returns by comparing variance estimators derived from data sampled at different frequencies. The random walk model is strongly rejected for the entire sample period (19621985) and for all subperiod for a variety of aggregate returns indexes and size-sorted portofolios. Although

Efficient Propeller Design | AbstractHow does a helicopter generate enough lift to fly? How does a speedboat get moving fast enough to pull someone on water skis? Here ’s a project on designing propellers to do the job. ObjectiveThe goal of this project is to investigate how changes in chord length affect the efficiency of propellers.IntroductionA propeller‚ like an airplane wing‚ is an airfoil: a curved surface that can generate lift when air moves over it. When air moves over the surface of

The definition of the efficient frontier says that “the efficient frontier represents the set of portfolios that has the maximum rate of return for every given level of risk‚ or the minimum risk for every level of return.” I plotted standard deviation on x axes and Returns on y axes to interpret efficient frontier. Exhibits also include these and the graphs you asked for as graph2: In our study‚ we concentrated on the optimal portfolios‚ the one which has the lowest volatility or risk‚ for given

such as red cod‚ spotty and kahawai challenge them. There are predators such as dolphins‚ sharks and also people. Their gas exchange system has to be efficient for them to be able to compete with those fish and escape from predators. Fish live in an acquatic environment. Water contains a less % 02 than the air so fish mush have a very efficient gas exchange system. This has prompted the development of the gill system. Air has 20% 02‚ water has much less. The gills are supported by the gill arch
