问题如下:
Consider the following linear regression model: Y=a+bX+e. Suppose a=0.05, b=1.2, SD(Y) = 0.26, and SD(e) = 0.1. What is the correlation between X and Y?
选项:
A.0.923
B.0.852
C.0.701
D.0.462
解释:
We can find the volatility of X from the variance decomposition, Equation: . This gives . Then SD(X) = 0.2, and .
第一步:求SD(x)
V(y)=0.26^2 = 1.2^2 x SD(x)^2 + 0.1^2
SD(x) = 0.2
第二:利用Beta公式求correlation
Beta = correlation x SD(y)/SD(x)
b = Beta = 1.2
1.2 = correlation x 0.26/0.2
correlation = 0.923
