Financial data
• The data can be high frequency, i.e. daily or even every minute. i.e. Stock market prices are measured every time there is a trade or somebody posts a new quote.
• The data is usually good qualityRecorded asset prices are usually those at which the transaction took place. Little possibility for measurement error.

Financial Data
• Financial Data is affected by risk.
Most financial data is affected by not just return but also risk, which requires specialist modelling.
• Financial data is ‘noisy’
It is often difficult to pick up patterns in the data due to the variable nature of financial data.

Time Series data
• Examples of Problems that Could be Tackled Using a Time Series Regression
- How the value of a country’s stock index has varied with that country’s macroeconomic fundamentals.
- How the value of a company’s stock price has varied when it announced the value of its dividend payment.
- The effect on a country’s currency of an increase in its interest rate

Cross-Sectional data
• Cross-sectional data are data on one or more variables collected at a single point in time, e.g.
- A poll of usage of internet stock broking services
- Cross-section of stock returns on the New York Stock Exchange
- A sample of bond credit ratings for UK banks

The Residual Term
• (Also called the error term and disturbance term)• It describes the random component of the
regression. It is caused by:
- Omission of explanatory variables
- The aggregation of the variables
- Mis-specification of the model
- Incorrect functional form of the model
- Measurement error

Least Squares Approach
• The aim of this approach is to minimize the residual for all residuals
• We square the residual before minimizing
• We can then derive our intercept and slope parameter using basic calculus
![Page 14: Ordinary least Squares. Introduction Describe the nature of financial data. Assess the concepts underlying regressions analysis Describe some examples](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5515dff5550346cf6f8b4c92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Regression
• Regression is the degree of dependency of the dependent variable on the explanatory variables
• Correlation measures the strength of a linear association between two variables
• Causation suggests the dependent variable depends on previous values of the explanatory variable
• Regression does not imply causaltion
![Page 15: Ordinary least Squares. Introduction Describe the nature of financial data. Assess the concepts underlying regressions analysis Describe some examples](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5515dff5550346cf6f8b4c92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
R-Squared Statistic
• This statistic explains the proportion of total variation in the dependent variable which is explained by the regression
• The statistic explains the explanatory power of the regression and measures how good a fit the data is.
• The value of this statistic lies between 0 and 1(when all the scatter plots lie on the regression line.)

Interpretation of Results
• Consider the type of model being estimated• What are the units of measurement of the
variables (unless all the variables are in logarithmic form)
• The range of observations• The signs of the variables, does it accord with
the theoretical model• Are the magnitudes of the parameters plausible• We need to remember it is only a model, the
parameters are estimates, so it describes average values, individual cases may vary

Hypothesis Testing
• Test the significance of the constant term in the same way as the slope parameter
• Although the conventional test for significance is at the 5% level, we also test at the 1% and 10% levels
• Use of the t-distribution tells us what to expect ‘by chance’
• For finite samples, when applying the t-test, we need to allow for degrees of freedom
• The t-test can be applied to either one or two tailed tests• The t-test is an absolute value, so we can ignore the sign
![Page 20: Ordinary least Squares. Introduction Describe the nature of financial data. Assess the concepts underlying regressions analysis Describe some examples](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5515dff5550346cf6f8b4c92/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The T-test
• If the t-test statistic exceeds the critical value, reject the null hypothesis, if we are testing if the coefficient equals zero, this means it is significant
• If the test statistic is below the critical value accept the null hypothesis.
• To find the critical value, you need to know the degrees of freedom, which equal n-k-1.

Conclusion
• Financial data tends to be more plentiful and of better quality than other data.
• Regression analysis involves fitting a line to a scatter diagram
• The error term describes the random component of the regression
• Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) involves minimizing the sum of the square of the residuals
