from the main menu select Module, and then Forecasting. 3. Next, select File, New, and Least Squares - Simple and Multiple regression. Problem 1. Use the forecasting module that you opened in the POM-QM for Windows software to solve the case study (Southwestern University). For this case study, you are required to build a forecasting model. Assume a linear regression forecasting model and build a model for each of the five games (five models in total) by using the forecasting module of the

TWO-VARIABLE REGRESSION MODEL: THE PROBLEM OF ESTIMATION * The PRF is an idealized concept, since in practice one rarely has access to the entire population of interest. Generally, one has a sample of observations from population and use the stochastic sample regression (SRF) to estimate the PRF. * Two generally used methods of estimation: 1) Ordinary least squares (OLS) and 2) Maximum likelihood (ML). We will focus on the OLS method. METHOD OF ORDINARY LEAST SQUARE (OLS) The statistical

Index/Trend Analysis II. The Delphi Technique III. Moving Average Method IV. Regression Analysis Method I. Index/Trend Analysis Examining the relationship over time between an operational business index, such as level of sales, and the demand for labour (as reflected by the number of employees in the workforce) is a relatively straightforward quantitative demand forecasting technique commonly employed by many organizations (see the following Table) Table: Index/Trend Analysis |Year

percentage of women rather than men, and percentage of people with a college education at least. In this modeling project, we will investigate into how these factors can play a part in the average income of the states. II. Model The population regression equation for this model is as follows: y= β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + β4x4 + β5x5 The dependent variable is the average income in each state. The independent variables are percentage of women, percentage with a college degree or higher, median value

independent variables to include in regression equations is a source of both strength and weakness in econometrics. The strength is that the equations can be formulated to fit individual needs, but the weakness is that researchers can estimate many different specifications until they find the one that “proves” their point, even if many other results disprove it. A major goal of this chapter is to help you understand how to choose variables for your regressions without falling prey to the various
