问题如下:
We regressed daily returns of a stock (dependent variable) against a market index (independent variable). The regression produced a beta for the stock, with respect to the market index, of 1.050. The stock's volatility was 30.0% and the market's volatility was 20.0%. If the regression's total sum of squares (TSS) is 0.300, what is the regression's explained sum of squares (ESS)?
选项:
A.
0.0960
B.
0.1470
C.
0.4900
D.
1.2500
解释:
As β = Cov(stock, index) / σ2(index) = ρ * σ(stock) / σ(index), it follows that:
ρ = β * σ(index) / σ(stock).
in this case, ρ = 1.050*20%/30% = 0.70, and R2 = correlation2 = 0.702 = 0.49.
Since R2 = ESS/TSS, ESS = R2 * TSS. In this case, ESS = 0.49*0.30 = 0.1470.
volatility是代表方差还是标准差?用不用开根号。
