Chapter 10: Re-expressing Data: Get it Straight Creating a model is a mechanical process; knowing when it is appropriate to use it is a thinking/analysis process. A useful model is the ultimate goal. Linear Models have tools that are relatively simple to understand and interpret: slope, yintercept. We can verify that a linear model is appropriate by checking the conditions and looking at the residual plot. Curved Models can be fit, but relatively speaking are more difficult to calculate. First

DISNEY A. A simple regression model over the 1980-2003 period where the Y-variable is the Disney year-end stock price and the X-variable is Disney=s earnings per share reads as follows (t-statistics in parentheses): Pt = -$1.661 + $31.388EPSt, R2 = 86.8% (-1.13) (12.03) Use this model to forecast Disney=s average stock price for the 2007-09 period using the Value Line estimate of Disney=s average earnings per share for 2007-09. Discuss this share-price forecast.

A) Below is the graph of the U.S car & trucks from 1970-2008 B) We predict that there will be 258.19 cars and trucks in the U.S in 2013. C) We double checked our prediction in part b extending the trend line we made in part b. D) We are confident that the prediction we made is correct because we followed the step to step direction in part b and the square value is close to one. We also double checked our prediction in part c by extending our trend line. E) The square value

Examples: Confirmatory Factor Analysis And Structural Equation Modeling CHAPTER 5 EXAMPLES: CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is used to study the relationships between a set of observed variables and a set of continuous latent variables. When the observed variables are categorical, CFA is also referred to as item response theory (IRT) analysis (Baker & Kim, 2004; du Toit, 2003). CFA with covariates (MIMIC) includes models where
