13. A pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug for
depression. There is a concern, however, that the drug also
raises the blood pressure of its users. A researcher wants to
conduct a test to validate this claim. Would the manager of the
pharmaceutical company be more concerned about a Type I
error or a Type II error? Explain.

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.arrow_forward

Inflation is hitting everything else, so why not the humble nugget too, right? But your sibling thinks you’re just being dramatic—maybe you’re just extra hungry today. Determined to prove them wrong, you take matters (and nuggets) into your own hands. You march into McDonald’s, get two 20-piece boxes, and head home like a scientist on a mission. Now, before you start weighing each nugget like they’re precious gold nuggets, let’s talk hypotheses. The average weight of nuggets as mentioned on the box is 16 g each. Develop your null and alternative hypotheses separately. Next, you weigh each nugget with the precision of a jeweler and find they average out to 15.5 grams. You also conduct a statistical analysis, and the p-value turns out to be 0.01. Based on this information, answer the following questions. (Remember,…arrow_forward
