Q

What is the standard deviation? How do you calculate it? what are the cons?

A

An approximation of the average distance of each item from the mean, with your HP!, need a computer or calc. With HP enter all data with Sigma +, calc gs on blue . key

Q

What is the Coefficient of Variation? How do you calculate it?

A

a measure of dispersion as a percentage. A lower COV has less risk & is more reliable, SD/Average

Q

Which axis has the independent variable?

Study These Flashcards
A

X axis (usually size, units etc.)

23
Q

What does the slope of the line represent?

Study These Flashcards
A

The per unit adjustment

24
Q

If the slope is -1 to 0 what does that tell you?

Study These Flashcards
A

Inverse relationship, negative slope, demand curve

25
If the slope is 0 to 1 what does that tell you
Direct relationship, positive slope, supply curve
26
What is it called when you extend the trend line past the last data point?
Extrapolation
27
Trendlines are placed so the sum of the squared residuals is the smallest possible, what is this called?
Least Squared Error
28
How do you calculate the least squared error
measure the distance between each data point and the trend line, square each distance, add all the squared distances, the best fit line has the leased squared differences
29
Regression model
used to precisely place a trendline.
30
Linear regression model
straight trend line, Y = mx +b
31
What does y=mx+b calculate? What do the letters stand for?
Linear regression model. Y - the answer on the Y axis (value). b - the y intercept (place the line crosses y), m - slope of the line calculated as the change in x / change in y (per unit adjustment), x any number on the x axis
32
How do you calculate m in a linear regression model?
m - slope of the line calculated as the change in x / change in y (per unit adjustment) (Y=mx+b)
33
How do you do regression w/ a 12C?
y enter x sigma plus for all variables then take an x variable g yhat - (blue2) - use another x variable to get a change per period or per unit calculate that change per period - to get the slope, x>
34
what is r in regression?
correlation coeffiecient
35
what is R2
Coefficient of determination
36
What is a correlation coefficient?
r, indicates the direction of the slope either plus or minus + direct, - indirect
37
What is the coefficient of determination?
R squared or multiple R, measures how well the whole model explains differences in the dependent variable
38
Should you eliminate an outlier in regression?
not unless you know what causes it to be inconsistent or if the subject doesn't have the same atypical characteristic
39
when should you use a short trend?
when one part of the data set is more relevent than the rest
40
What kind of trend lines do appraisers use? (4)
Straight line, polynomial (hills & valleys), power (curve that increases or decreases in an increasing or decreasing rate), exponential (%)
41
Do measures of central tendency depict trends?
no
42
When is regression a better predictive tool?
when the data does have a pattern
43
regression analysis is similar to what other quantitative appraisal technique?
paired sales data
44
a line with minimal slope indicates what?
a minimal adjustment
45
for a normal distribution what can be said about the measures of central tendency?
all 3 measures are the same
46
what is the model for a straight trend line?
y = mx+b
47
what do you know about the slope for a straight line
it is constant, doesn't change
48
How are r and Rsquared related and what are their proper names?
The Rsquared is the Coeffiecient of Determination and it is the square of r the correlation coefficient
49
As extrapolation increases what also increases
Risk
50
what do zero residuals mean in a trend line?
all the data points are on the line
51
what is the difference between the data points and the trend line called?
regression error or residual
52
how do you caluculate the volume of a silo?
pi x r squared x height divided by cubic yards in a bushel. (they seem to provide this) (4.7 bushels of corn in a cubic yard = 27 cu ft. a bushel of corn requires 2.5 cubic feet in examples)
53
how do you calculate the area of a spandral
area of the square - area of the circle / 4
54
how do you calculate the perimeter of a spandral?
perimeter of a square x 25% + circumference of a circle x 25%. (Circumference of a circle is pi * diameter)
