Supreme Being Group: Administrators Posts: 4.5K, Visits: 1.6K	TS Module 3: Trends HW (The attached PDF file has better formatting.) Homework assignment: MA(1) Process: Variance of mean Five MA(1) processes with 50 observations are listed below. The variance of å_t is 1. A. For each process, what is the variance of , the average of the Y observations? B. How does the pattern of the first time series differ from that of the last time series? C. Explain intuitively why oscillating patterns have lower variances of their means. 1. Y_t = ì + e_t + e_t-1 2. Y_t = ì + e_t + ½ e_t-1 3. Y_t = ì + e_t 4. Y_t = ì + e_t – ½ e_t-1 5. Y_t = ì + e_t – e_t-1 (See page 50 of the Cryer and Chan text, Exercise 3.2) Attachments TS Module 3 variance of mean HW.pdf (2.3K views, 32.00 KB) 0

Forum Newbie Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 1	Number 4 is giving me all kinds of trouble. I'm getting -.0046 too. I get Var(Yt) to be 3/4, p1 is then (-1/2)/(3/4), which is -2/3. Plugging this in to equation 3.2.3 gets me -.0046, what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to use equation 3.2.2 for all of these problems to by simplifying? I got it to work for number 3 and 5 but not 1,2,or 4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks you. 0
