  1. Econ 240A Power 7

  2. Last Week • Normal Distribution • Lab Three: Sampling Distributions • Interval Estimation and HypothesisTesting

  3. Outline • Distribution of the sample variance • The California Budget: Exploratory Data Analysis • Trend Models • Linear Regression Models • Ordinary Least Squares

  4. The Sample Variance, s2 Is distributed with n-1 degrees of freedom (text, 12.3 “inference about a population variance) (text, pp. 258-262, Chi-Squared distribution)

  5. Text Chi-Squared Distribution

  6. Text Chi-Squared Table

  7. Example: Lab Three • 50 replications of a sample of size 50 generated by a Uniform random number generator, range zero to one. • expected value of the mean: 0.5 • expected value of the variance: 1/12

  8. Histogram of 50 Sample Means, Uniform, U(0.5, 1/12) Average of the sample means: 0.4963

  9. Histogram of 50 sample variances, Uniform, U(0.5, 0.0833) Average sample variance: 0.08352

  10. Confidence Interval for the first sample variance of 0.07667 • A 95 % confidence interval Where taking the reciprocal reverses the signs of the inequality

  11. The UC Budget

  12. The UC Budget • The part of the UC Budget funded by the state from the general fund

  19. How to Forecast the UC Budget? • Linear Trendline?

  20. Trend Models

  21. Forecast increase $84 million

  22. Linear Regression Trend Models • A good fit over the years of the data sample may not give a good forecast

  23. How to Forecast the UC Budget? • Linear trendline? • Exponential trendline ?

  24. Forecast growth rate: 6.8%/yr

  25. Time Series Models • Linear • UCBUD(t) = a + b*t + e(t) • where the estimate of a is the intercept: $-10.56 million in 68-69 • where the estimate of b is the slope: $84 million/yr • where the estimate of e(t) is the the difference between the UC Budget at time t and the fitted line for that year • Exponential

  26. Error in 01-02 slope intercept

  27. Time Series Models • Exponential • UCBUD(t) = UCBUD(68-69)*eb*tee(t) • UCBUD(t) = UCBUD(68-69)*eb*t + e(t) • where the estimate of UCBUD(68-69) is the estimated budget for 1968-69 • where the estimate of b is the exponential rate of growth

  28. Estimated UCBUD in 68-69 Exponential rate of growth Forecast growth rate: 6.8%/yr 1 year forecast from 2003-04 1.068*3038.666 = 3245.295 M$

  29. Linear Regression Time Series Models • Linear: UCBUD(t) = a + b*t + e(t) • How do we get a linear form for the exponential model?

  30. Time Series Models • Linear transformation of the exponential • take natural logarithms of both sides • ln[UCBUD(t)] = ln[UCBUD(68-69)*eb*t + e(t)] • where the logarithm of a product is the sum of logarithms: • ln[UCBUD(t)] = ln[UCBUD(68-69)]+ln[eb*t + e(t)] • and the logarithm is the inverse function of the exponential: • ln[UCBUD(t)] = ln[UCBUD(68-69)] + b*t + e(t) • so ln[UCBUD(68-69)] is the intercept “a”

  31. 2003-04 1968-69

  32. Exponential rate of growth ln UCBUD at t=0 exp[5.932] = 376.9 observed = $291.3

  33. Estimated UCBUD in 68-69 Exponential rate of growth Forecast growth rate: 6.8%/yr

  34. Naïve Forecasts • Average • forecast next year to be the same as this year

  35. UC Budget Forecasts for 2004-05 * 1.068x$3,038,666,000; exponential trendline forecast ~$4.3 B

  36. Time Series Forecasts • The best forecast may not be a regression forecast • Time Series Concept: time series(t) = trend + cycle + seasonal + noise(random or error) • fitting just the trend ignores the cycle • UCBUD(t) = a + b*t + e(t)

  37. Ordinary Least Squares

  38. Error in 01-02 slope intercept

  39. Criterion for Fitting a Line • Minimize the sum of the absolute value of the errors? • Minimize the sum of the square of the errors • easier to use • error is the difference between the observed value and the fitted value • example UCBUD(observed) - UCBUD(fitted)

  40. The fitted value: • The fitted value is defined in terms of two parameters, a and b (with hats), that are determined from the data observations, such as to minimize the sum of squared errors

  41. Minimize the Sum of Squared Errors

  42. How to Find a-hat and b-hat? • Methodology • grid search • differential calculus • likelihood function

  43. Grid Search, a-hat=0, b-hat=80
