The Past We all have a past and in that past we try to regain something significant to us. In the classic novel‚ The Great Gatsby‚ written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and set in the 1920s New York. The story centers on the mysterious protagonist whose life is fueled by his dream to reclaim the love of his life‚ Daisy. This mysterious protagonist has a “past” that he is trying to re-write to obtain his dream. His past influence his action and values leading to his demise. This mysterious protagonist

Why the past should not be glorified We should not preserve the past‚ we should look to the future. We are living in the modern era‚ where people are practical and realistic‚ optimistic that new inventions and discoveries will improve their lives. For most‚ it would be plain foolishness if one were to be so mindful about the past‚ when instead‚ one should invest his time and thought into building a better and more meaningful life in the future. Ironically‚ in the midst of their “pragmatic” judgement

today that dream is out of reach for an increasing number of Americans. Why? It is because there are not nearly enough jobs for everyone. Without a jobs recovery‚ there simply is not going to be a housing recovery. In this report‚ I will perform a regression analysis to determine the effect of the Unemployment Rate (UR) on Total New Houses Sold (TNHS). I expect that there will be a negative relationship between the two variables. In other words‚ as the unemployment rate increases‚ the total number of

union membership. We will use the technique of linear regression and correlation. Regression analysis in this case should predict the value of the dependent variable (annual wages)‚ using independent variables (gender‚ occupation‚ industry‚ years of education‚ race‚ and years of work experience‚ marital status‚ and union membership). Regression Analysis Based on our initial findings from MegaStat‚ we built the following model for regression (coefficient factors are rounded to the nearest hundredth):

The simple regression model (SRM) is model for association in the population between an explanatory variable X and response Y. The SRM states that these averages align on a line with intercept β0 and slope β1: µy|x = E(Y|X = x) = β0 + β1x Deviation from the Mean The deviation of observed responses around the conditional means µy|x are called errors (ε). The error’s equation: ε = y - µy|x Errors can be positive or negative‚ depending on whether data lie above (positive) or below the conditional

you cannot consult the regression R2 because (a) ln(Y) may be negative for 0 < Y < 1. (b) the TSS are not measured in the same units between the two models. (c) the slope no longer indicates the effect of a unit change of X on Y in the log-linear model. (d) the regression R2 can be greater than one in the second model. 1 (v) The exponential function (a) is the inverse of the natural logarithm function. (b) does not play an important role in modeling nonlinear regression functions in econometrics
