Which of the following is a correct interpretation of βiK ?
选项：
A.
It is a coefficient measuring the effect of changes in the rate of return of security k on the expected value of factor I.
B.
It measures the difference between the observed and expected values of factor k.
C.
It measures the idiosyncratic random shock to the price of security i which has a mean of zero
D.
It measures how the changes in the surprise factor k will affect the rate of return of security i.
解释：
Explanation
D is correct. βik is a coefficient measuring the effect of changes in Ik (the observed value of factor k) on the rate of return of security i.
A is incorrect. It is a is a coefficient measuring the changes in factor Ik on the rate of return of security i.
B is in correct. [IK - E(IK)] is the difference between the observed and expected values in factor k.
C is in correct. This is the noise factor ei.
