To find: the accurate of DR.G’s forecasts and the number of tropical storms and the effect of the disastrous

Answer to Problem 69E
DR.G’s forecasts are not very accurate.
There are 16tropical storms
The effect of the disastrous has a little effect.
Explanation of Solution

year | forecast | actual | year | forecast | actual |
1984 | 10 | 12 | 1997 | 11 | 7 |
1985 | 11 | 11 | 1998 | 10 | 14 |

1987 | 8 | 7 | 2000 | 12 | 14 |
1988 | 11 | 12 | 2001 | 12 | 15 |
1989 | 7 | 11 | 2002 | 11 | 12 |
1990 | 11 | 14 | 2003 | 14 | 16 |
1991 | 8 | 8 | 2004 | 14 | 14 |
1992 | 8 | 6 | 2005 | 15 | 27 |
1993 | 11 | 8 | 2006 | 17 | 9 |
1994 | 9 | 7 | 2007 | 17 | 14 |
1995 | 12 | 19 | 2008 | 15 | 16 |
1996 | 10 | 13 |
Calculation:
Let's start by making a
The below figure shows a scatterplot of the data. The scatterplot shows a positive association That is, higher number of forecast tends to have higher number of actual storms. The overall pattern is moderately linear (a calculator gives r = 0.5478). There is one outlier on the scatterplot in the Y direction.
Using the MINITAB, the regression equation is shown below
The least-square equation is
Using the MINITAB, the residual plot is shown below:
The slope suggests that for every added forecast, actual forecast increased by 0.915. Y intercept is the value of Y when X = 0, here if forecast is O then number of actual storm will be 1. From the residual plot. The graph shows a fairly "random" scatter points around the "residual = 0" line with one very large positive residual (point for year 2005). Most of the prediction errors (residuals) are 10 points or fewer on the forecast scale. It is calculated the standard error of the residuals to be s = 3.9983. This is roughly the size of an average prediction error using the regression line. Since
Use the equation
Actual storm = 1.69+0.915(forecast)
To predict an actual number of storm from the forecast. Our predictions may not be very accurate, though. It is hesitated to use this model to make predictions. If Dr. Gray's preseason forecast call is 16 then;
Actual storm
Consider the below figure:
The above figure shows the result of removing 2005 season on the
Conclusion:
Therefore,
DR.G’s forecasts are not very accurate.
There are 16tropical storms
The effect of the disastrous has a little effect.

Pricing a multi-stock option the Margrabe formula The purpose of this problem is to price a swap option in a 2-stock model, similarly as what we did in the example in the lectures. We consider a two-dimensional Brownian motion given by W₁ = (W(¹), W(2)) on a probability space (Q, F,P). Two stock prices are modeled by the following equations: dX = dY₁ = X₁ (rdt+ rdt+0₁dW!) (²)), Y₁ (rdt+dW+0zdW!"), with Xo xo and Yo =yo. This corresponds to the multi-stock model studied in class, but with notation (X+, Y₁) instead of (S(1), S(2)). Given the model above, the measure P is already the risk-neutral measure (Both stocks have rate of return r). We write σ = 0₁+0%. We consider a swap option, which gives you the right, at time T, to exchange one share of X for one share of Y. That is, the option has payoff F=(Yr-XT). (a) We first assume that r = 0 (for questions (a)-(f)). Write an explicit expression for the process Xt. Reminder before proceeding to question (b): Girsanov's theorem…arrow_forwardProblem 1. Multi-stock model We consider a 2-stock model similar to the one studied in class. Namely, we consider = S(1) S(2) = S(¹) exp (σ1B(1) + (M1 - 0/1 ) S(²) exp (02B(2) + (H₂- M2 where (B(¹) ) +20 and (B(2) ) +≥o are two Brownian motions, with t≥0 Cov (B(¹), B(2)) = p min{t, s}. " The purpose of this problem is to prove that there indeed exists a 2-dimensional Brownian motion (W+)+20 (W(1), W(2))+20 such that = S(1) S(2) = = S(¹) exp (011W(¹) + (μ₁ - 01/1) t) 롱) S(²) exp (021W (1) + 022W(2) + (112 - 03/01/12) t). where σ11, 21, 22 are constants to be determined (as functions of σ1, σ2, p).
