Regression Equation
Regression Equation
A mathematical formula used to model the relationship between a dependent variable (e.g., 5-year average return) and one or more independent variables (e.g., fund type, expense ratio).
Independent Variable
Independent Variable
A variable that is thought to influence or predict a dependent variable.
Dependent Variable
Dependent Variable
A variable that is being measured or tested and is thought to be influenced by the independent variables.

Study Notes
Mutual Fund Returns Analysis
- Data set includes 45 mutual funds with variables like fund type, net asset value, 5-year average return, expense ratio, and Morningstar rank.
Regression Analysis for 5-Year Average Return (Part a)
- Aims to predict 5-year average return based on fund type.
- Statistical significance will be tested at 0.05 level.
Goodness of Fit (Part b)
- Evaluation of how well the estimated regression equation from part (a) fits the data will be performed.
- Justification for the fit will be provided.
Multiple Regression Analysis for 5-Year Average Return (Part c)
- Aims to predict 5-year average return considering fund type, net asset value, and expense ratio.
- Significance at a 0.05 level will be tested. Variable removal will be considered if appropriate. Reasoning for variable deletion/retention will be provided.
Regression Analysis with Categorical Variable (Part d)
- Uses Morningstar Rank (2-Star to 5-Star) as a categorical variable using dummy variables (3StarRank, 4StarRank, 5StarRank).
- Predicts 5-year average return based on fund type, expense ratio, and Morningstar Rank.
- Non-significant independent variables will be removed at a 0.05 significance level.
Prediction (Part e)
- Predicts 5-year average return for a specific domestic equity fund with a given expense ratio and Morningstar rank.
