Answer to Problem 8.26E

The confidence interval is (32.5530,35.4470) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sample size is 38.

The level of significance ( α ) is (1-0.98) i.e. 0.01.

The sample mean is 0.34.

The sample variance is 12.

Formulae used:

The 100(1α)% Confidence interval for the population mean is given by:-

  (ˉxs2nZα2,ˉx+s2nZα2)

Calculations:

The Z Critical value at 99% level of significance is 2.58 calculated from the standard normal table.

The 100(1α)% Confidence interval can be computed as:- (ˉxs2nZα2,ˉx+s2nZα2)=(342.581238,34+2.581238)=(32.5530,35.4470)

Therefore, the required confidence interval is (32.5530,35.4470) .

Answer to Problem 8.26E

The confidence interval is (1047.5429,1050.4751) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sample size is 65.

The level of significance ( α ) is (1-0.90) i.e. 0.1.

The sample mean is 1049.

The sample variance is 51.

Calculations:

The Z Critical value at 90% level of significance is 1.645 calculated from the standard normal table.

The 100(1α)% Confidence interval can be computed as:-

  (ˉxs2nZα2,ˉx+s2nZα2)=(10491.6455165,1049+1.6455165)=(1047.5429,1050.4751)

Therefore, the required confidence interval is (1047.5429,1050.4751) .

Answer to Problem 8.26E

The confidence interval is (65.9728,66.6272) .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sample size is 89.

The level of significance ( α ) is (1-0.90) i.e. 0.1.

The sample mean is 66.3.

The sample variance is 2.48.

Calculations:

The Z Critical value at 95% level of significance is 1.96 calculated from the standard normal table.

The 100(1α)% Confidence interval can be computed as:-

  (ˉxs2nZα2,ˉx+s2nZα2)=(66.31.962.4889,66.31.962.4889)=(65.9728,66.6272)

Therefore, the required confidence interval is (65.9728,66.6272) .

6 (Model Selection, Estimation and Prediction of GARCH) Consider the daily returns rt of General Electric Company stock (ticker: "GE") from "2021-01-01" to "2024-03-31", comprising a total of 813 daily returns. Using the "fGarch" package of R, outputs of fitting three GARCH models to the returns are given at the end of this question. Model 1 ARCH (1) with standard normal innovations; Model 2 Model 3 GARCH (1, 1) with Student-t innovations; GARCH (2, 2) with Student-t innovations; Based on the outputs, answer the following questions. (a) What can be inferred from the Standardized Residual Tests conducted on Model 1? (b) Which model do you recommend for prediction between Model 2 and Model 3? Why? (c) Write down the fitted model for the model that you recommended in Part (b). (d) Using the model recommended in Part (b), predict the conditional volatility in the next trading day, specifically trading day 814.
