Answer to Problem 1E

The operation performed on the Burger King items data is filtering.

Explanation of Solution

The Burger King items data is separated into items that contain meat, and that do not contain meat.

Aggregation:

Aggregation is the operation, in which, the grouping based on the values of an identifying variable is used to combine information for items.

Filtering:

Filtering is the operation, in which, a criterion is used to select a subset of all the items in the data set, on which, the analyses are performed.

Merging:

Merging is the operation, in which, an index variable is used to uniquely identify and match the data in two data files, which consist of the same items, but are recorded on different variables or a different order.

Appending:

Appending is the operation, in which, additional or new cases are added to the existing data set, where the variables recorded for the new items are the same as that in the existing data set.

Deduping:

Deduping is the operation, in which, duplicate records are removed from the data set, to ensure that the final data set consists only of unique items.

Feature extraction:

Feature extraction is the operation, in which, new variables are constructed by using mathematical functions to combine the existing variables in the data set.

The Burger King items data contains a variable that determines whether an item contains meat. The data set is divided into two subsets based on the meat-containing criterion and the analyses are performed separately on the two subsets. Evidently, filtering has been performed on the data set.

Thus, the operation performed on the Burger King items data is filtering.

Answer to Problem 1E

The operation performed on the McDonald’s menu items data is aggregation.

Explanation of Solution

The McDonald’s menu items data is combined for items that contain meat, and that do not contain meat.

The McDonald’s menu items data contains a variable that determines whether an item contains meat. The two subsets based on the meat-containing criterion are combined and the analyses are performed on the combined data set. Evidently, aggregation has been performed on the data set.

Thus, the operation performed on the McDonald’s menu items data is aggregation.

You have been hired as an intern to run analyses on the data and report the results back to Sarah; the five questions that Sarah needs you to address are given below.   Does there appear to be a positive or negative relationship between price and screen size? Use a scatter plot to examine the relationship. Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient between the two variables. In your interpretation, discuss the direction of the relationship (positive, negative, or zero relationship). Also discuss the strength of the relationship. Estimate the relationship between screen size and price using a simple linear regression model and interpret the estimated coefficients. (In your interpretation, tell the dollar amount by which price will change for each unit of increase in screen size). Include the manufacturer dummy variable (Samsung=1, 0 otherwise) and estimate the relationship between screen size, price and manufacturer dummy as a multiple linear regression model. Interpret the…

In this problem, we consider a Brownian motion (W+) t≥0. We consider a stock model (St)t>0 given (under the measure P) by d.St 0.03 St dt + 0.2 St dwt, with So 2. We assume that the interest rate is r = 0.06. The purpose of this problem is to price an option on this stock (which we name cubic put). This option is European-type, with maturity 3 months (i.e. T = 0.25 years), and payoff given by F = (8-5)+ (a) Write the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by (St) under the risk-neutral measure Q. (You don't need to prove it, simply give the answer.) (b) Give the price of a regular European put on (St) with maturity 3 months and strike K = 2. (c) Let X = S. Find the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by the process (Xt) under the measure Q. (d) Find an explicit expression for X₁ = S3 under measure Q. (e) Using the results above, find the price of the cubic put option mentioned above. (f) Is the price in (e) the same as in question (b)? (Explain why.)
