1 Problem Set #3 Key Sonoma State University Business 581E Dr. Cuellar The data set bus581e_ps3.dta is a Stata data set containing annual sales (cases) and revenue from December 18, 2004 to April Use Stata and Excel to answer following questions. Your typed answers are due at the beginning of the next class. Answers must be presented in a professional manner for full credit. You may want to export your data into Excel to generate graphs for aesthetic purposes. Forecasting 1. Sales a. Show graphically sales for the entire time span. b. Construct a regression model of sales that accounts for a time trend in sales and seasonal variations. Show and explain your results. Cases = β 0 + β 1time 12 + DMonth k +u i k=2 β k c. Show graphically your predicted results along with your actual sales. Total Cases Sold jan jul jan jul jan2011 Date Actual Predicted
2 d. Re-run your regression on a sub-sample (hold-out sample) of your data. Hold out the last 13 periods. Show and explain your results. Compare with your regression results from the full sample. Full Sample Hold-Out Sample Cases Cases Time [28.66]** [21.39]** February -11, , [8.53]** [7.53]** March -11, , [8.88]** [7.46]** April -11, , [8.46]** [7.12]** May -14, , [11.30]** [9.47]** June -13, , [10.53]** [9.22]** July -14, , [11.68]** [9.99]** August -15, , [11.14]** [9.60]** September -13, , [10.19]** [9.13]** October -12, , [8.89]** [8.00]** November -7, , [5.42]** [4.58]** December [0.35] [0.59] Constant 35, , [34.45]** [31.27]** Observations Adjusted R Absolute value of t-statistics in brackets * significant at 5% level; ** significant at 1% level
3 e. Compare the predictions from your full sample regression with those of the hold-out sample regression. Specifically, compare the difference between actual and predicted results in units and percentage terms. Construct a table as follows: Full Sample Hold-Out Sample Forecast Difference %Difference Forecast Difference %Difference 1-May % % 29-May % % 26-Jun % % 24-Jul % % 21-Aug % % 18-Sep % % 16-Oct % % 13-Nov % % 11-Dec % % 8-Jan % % 5-Feb % % 5-Mar % % 2-Apr % % How well does the hold-out sample compare with the full sample results?
4 f. Use the full sample of data to forecast sales for 13 periods beyond the end of the data. g. Construct a margin of error for your forecast and a 95% confidence interval. Show your results for f & g in a table as follows: Period Forecasted Sales Margin of Error Lower CI Upper CI h. Show your results graphically. Be sure your graph clearly distinguishes between actual and predicted values. You may want to use Excel. Total Cases Sold Date Actual Lower 95% CI Predicted Upper 95% CI

Show and explain your results. Revenue = β 0 + β 1time 12 + DMonth k +u i k=2 β k c. Show graphically your predicted results along with your actual revenue. Revenue 2.0e e e e+06 01jan jul jan jul jan2011 Date Actual Predicted

Full Sample Hold-Out Sample Revenue Revenue Time 41, , [31.11]** [24.08]** February [8.55]** [7.48]** March [8.91]** [7.47]** April [8.85]** [7.40]** May [11.58]** [9.59]** June [11.01]** [9.45]** July [12.22]** [10.33]** August [11.52]** [9.82]** September [10.18]** [8.97]** October [8.66]** [7.68]** November -873, , [5.38]** [4.47]** December 2, , [0.02] [0.35] Constant [33.78]** [30.16]** Observations Adjusted R Absolute value of t-statistics in brackets * significant at 5% level; ** significant at 1% level
8 e. Compare the predictions from your full sample regression with those of the hold-out sample regression. Specifically, compare the difference between actual and predicted results in units and percentage terms. Construct a table as above. Full Sample Hold-Out Sample Forecast Difference %Diff Forecast Difference %Diff 1-May-10 $5,433,779 -$345, % $5,498,867 -$410, % 29-May-10 $5,475,671 -$2, % $5,541,220 -$68, % 26-Jun-10 $5,504,585 -$148, % $5,547,628 -$191, % 24-Jul-10 $5,415,987 -$463, % $5,502,856 -$550, % 21-Aug-10 $5,435,953 -$169, % $5,487,857 -$221, % 18-Sep-10 $5,694,820 $154, % $5,681,823 $167, % 16-Oct-10 $5,983,692 $239, % $5,953,824 $269, % 13-Nov-10 $6,556,705 $25, % $6,569,579 $12, % 11-Dec-10 $7,474,368 $157, % $7,469,108 $162, % 8-Jan-11 $7,513,829 $492, % $7,452,746 $553, % 5-Feb-11 $6,223,874 $135, % $6,222,239 $137, % 5-Mar-11 $6,209,375 -$214, % $6,266,118 -$271, % 2-Apr-11 $6,259,975 -$230, % $6,319,460 -$290, %
