return and its covariance with the factors. The APT, however, does not preclude arbitrage over dynamic portfolios. Consequently, applying the model to evaluate managed portfolios contradicts the no-arbitrage spirit of the model. An empirical test of the APT entails a procedure to identify features Of the underlying factor structure rather than merely a collection of mean-variance efficient factor portfolios that satisfies the linear relation. An asset pricing model based on the idea that an asset's returns

Applying these criteria on the number of principal components to be extracted suggests that seven (7) components should be extracted.

1 .How may applying several control charts simultaneously to a set of related characteristics be unsatisfactory for monitoring? There are instance where by we monitor two related quality characteristics is necessary in multivariate control chart. It is recommended to use a multivariate analysis, monitoring two quality characteristic can be misleading. For instance monitoring a frequency of two radio X1 and X2 respectively the control chart can indicate being under the expected control limit ,when
