On March 10, the pool opened for business. The corporation operated with a profit over the next few months. In June, Martinez took a two-week vacation in Europe and used a check from the company bank account to purchase his airline ticket. In November, he decided to have the pool repainted. Because business had slowed and the corporation’s bank account did not have sufficient funds, Martinez wrote a personal check for this job.

Time Series Problem set page 40

/in /by

1. (a) Consider the quarterly earnings of Johnson & Johnson from 1960 to 1980 in the file q-earn-jnj.txt .

 

Perform a log transformation of the data, detrend and deseasonalize the data, and subtract the mean, in order to obtain a sequence of observations that appears to be stationary with zero mean. Plot the sample autocovariance or autocorrelation function of the obtained time series. Perform the Box-Ljung test for m=5 and m=10 and draw conclusions. Use some forecasting method built in in the software you are using to forecast 24 values and plot the original series together with the 24 predicted values. [Hint: This is fairly straightforward if you use the software ITSM – This will be demonstrated in class].

 
(b) Consider the accidental deaths between 1973 and 1978 in the file Deaths.txt . Repeat the tasks stated in (a) without the log transformation and forecast 36 values for the deaths time series. 
 
3. #1.8(a) see attachement p.40
 
and express the autocovariance function of the detrended and deseasonalized time series in terms of the stationary process {Y_t}. 
 
4. Suppose that {X_t} is a stationary time series with mean mu and ACF rho(.). Show that the best mean square predictor of X_{n+h} of the form  
a X_n + b is obtained by choosing a = rho(h) and b = mu (1-rho(h)), where the best mean square predictor minimizes the mean square error (MSE)  E(X_{n+h} – predictor)^2. 
 
5. Find the ACVF of the time series  
Y_t = Z_t – 1.2 Z_{t-1} – 1.6 Z_{t-2},  where {Z_t} ~ WN(0, 0.25).

Need help with 8 economic/money type questions. will tip and rate well if answered 🙂 1. Find the capitalized cost of a present cost of $330,273, annual costs of $41,182, and periodic costs every 5 years of $75,087. Use an interest rate of 10% per year. 2. Humana hospital corporation installed a new MRI machine at a cost of $750,000 this year in its medical professional clinic in cedar park. This state of art system is expected to be used for 5 years and then sold for $75,000. Humana uses a return requirement of 24% per year for all of its medical diagnostic equipment. As a bioengineering student currently serving a coop semester on the management staff of Humana corporation in Louisville, Kentucky, you are asked to determine the minimum revenue required each year to realize the expected recovery and return. 3. Nissan’s all electric car, the leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the united states, but it is eligible for $7,500 federal tax credit. Consulting engineering company wants to evaluate the purchase or lease of one of the vehicles for use by its employees traveling to job sites in the local area. The cost of leasing will be $4,200 per year (payable at the end of each year) after an initialization charge of $2,500 paid now. If the company purchases the vehicle, it will also purchase a home charging station for $2,200 that will be partially offset by 50% tax credit. If the company expects to be able to sell the car and the charging station for 40% of the base price of the car alone at the end of the 3 years. What is the present worth of purchasing the car, use an interest rate of 10% per year. 4.
