CHAPTER 10. SIMPLE REGRESSION AND CORRELATION In agricultural research we are often interested in describing the change in one variable (Y, the dependent variable) in terms of a unit change in a second variable (X, the independent variable). Regression is commonly used to establish such a relationship. A simple linear regression takes the form of Y! = a + bx where is the predicted value of Y for a given value of X, a estimates the intercept of the regression line with the Y axis, and b estimates

Preview of the Data The data on the first chart, Nominal Price vs. CSD Sales, will not yield a meaningful linear or logarithmic equation, because the data curves over the Y-axis, which cannot be accurately approximated by either line (or any function of quantity). Therefore, the results from this chart will not be well explained by the line and the R2 value will be low. Further, the upward slope of the data does not conform to the law of demand and thus cannot accurately represent reality. However

paper is to test whether the technical analysis indicator MACD is effective in real trading. We will use the S&P 500 Index as our samples, and our main idea is to find the average return and VaR when we buy at the time MACD shows a “golden cross” and sell at the time when there is a “death cross”. MACD: Before we do the test, let’s start to define the MACD as well as its components. MACD is one of the most popular indicators used in the technical analysis. And it is mainly comprised of MACD line
