then were given survey questionnaires. Sample size n was computed using the multiple regression sample size calculator. From that, the number of observations was also dependent on the sample size. The computed sample size was 103 however, a total of 45 respondents were acceptable by using multiple regression analysis because according to Hair, Anderson, Tatham, & Black (1995), in order to maximize the number of observations per variable, the minimum ratio of five observations per independent variable

Emerging Market Mutual Fund Performance and the State of the Economy∗ Ayelen Banegas November 2010 Abstract Following the financial liberalization of many Asian, European, and Latin American countries emerging markets have become a central player in the global economy. As a result the universe of equity funds investing in these developing economies has been in continuous expansion. In this paper we propose a set of asset class specific predictive variables for emerging markets and exploit

Rev Account Stud (2009) 14:534–558 DOI 10.1007/s11142-008-9080-5 Bankruptcy prediction: the case of Japanese listed companies Ming Xu Æ Chu Zhang Published online: 26 July 2008 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract This paper investigates if bankruptcy of Japanese listed companies can be predicted using data from 1992 to 2005. We find that the traditional measures, such as Altman’s (J Finance 23:589–609, 1968) Z-score, Ohlson’s (J Accounting Res 18:109–131, 1980) O-score and

Probability and statistics are two related but separate academic disciplines. Statistical analysis often uses probability distributions, and the two topics are often studied together. However, probability theory contains much that is of mostly of mathematical interest and not directly relevant to statistics. Moreover, many topics in statistics are independent of probability theory. Probability (or likelihood) is a measure or estimation of how likely it is that something will happen or that a statement

on nearly fifteen hundred hedge funds, we find that only 3.7% live and 10.9% dead funds are under-capitalized as of March 2003. Moreover, the undercapitalized funds are relatively small and constitute a tiny fraction of the total fund assets in our sample. Cross-sectionally, the variability in fund capitalization is related to size, investment

GC/MS Analysis of Gasoline Courtney Richardson Dr. Anne Gaquere Chemistry Department Abstract Three different octane levels of gasolines have been gathered from five different gas stations. In a previous experiment, their heat of combustion results have been determined. The goal of this project is to determine if there are any detectable similarities or patterns between these different types and suppliers of gasoline. Gas Chromatography accompanied by Mass Spectrometry
