production on food price. We made a hypothesis that the increasing biofuels production is the primary and direct reason for food price inflation in the U.S. Then‚ based on effective data collected‚ we tested our hypothesis by running a simple regression analysis. In microeconomics‚ the best way to solve the price problem in an open market is to study the demand and supply. As show in table 1‚ we listed the probable factors that may influence the demand and supply of food price and tested their

Linear Programming Concept Paper There are two types of linear programming: 1. Linear Programming- involves no more than 2 variables‚ linear programming problems can be structured to minimize costs as well as maximize profits. Due to the increasing complexity of business organizations‚ the role of the management executive as a decision maker is becoming more and more difficult. Linear programming is a useful technique to solve such problems. The necessary condition is that the data must be

Multiple regression‚ a time-honored technique going back to Pearson’s 1908 use of it‚ is employed to account for (predict) the variance in an interval dependent‚ based on linear combinations of interval‚ dichotomous‚ or dummy independent variables. Multiple regression can establish that a set of independent variables explains a proportion of the variance in a dependent variable at a significant level (through a significance test of R2)‚ and can establish the relative predictive importance

l Regression Analysis Basic Concepts & Methodology 1. Introduction Regression analysis is by far the most popular technique in business and economics for seeking to explain variations in some quantity in terms of variations in other quantities‚ or to develop forecasts of the future based on data from the past. For example‚ suppose we are interested in the monthly sales of retail outlets across the UK. An initial data analysis would summarise the variability in terms of a mean and standard

Regression Analysis Abstract Quantile regression. The Journal of Economic Perspectives This paper is formulated towards that of regression analysis use in the business world. The article used for this paper was written in order to understand the meaning of regression as a measurement tool and how the tool uses past business data for the purpose of future business economics. The research mentioned in this article pertained to quantile regression‚ or how percentiles of specific data are used in
