1. Expectation, Covariance, and Correlation
Note: this problem introduces a simple form of factor analysis, which is a very important model.
Let Suppose a person is about to take three tests.
Let Yi be the score on the i
th test, i = 1, 2, 3.
Let Yi = A + Ti
The idea is the A is a general ability and the Ti are test specific abilities.
Let A and all the Ti be independent with, E(A) = μ, E(Ti) = 0
(a)What is E(Yi), i = 1, 2, 3
(b)What is the 3 × 3 variance matrix Σ for Y = (Y1, Y2, Y3)0.
(c)Supppse μ = 100, σ2
A = 100, and σ2
i = 25, i = 1, 2, 3.
What is the correlation matrix of Y ?
(d)Suppose we have the same setup as in (c).
What is the expected value and variance of S = a
0Y where a 0 = (1, 1, 1), so that S is the total score?
(e)Suppose we have the same setup as in (c).
and D = b
0Y where b
0 = (1, .5,.5) so that D is the difference between the score on the first test and the
average score on the other two tests.
What are the mean and variance of D?
(f)Suppose we have the same setup as in (c).
What is σS,D = cov(S, D)?
What is ρS,D?
(g)2
Suppose we have the same setup as in (c).
Note that in general
V ar(AY ) = A V ar(Y ) A0
Let A0 = (a, b) and check your previous results by computing A V ar(Y ) A0.
(h) Suppose
Y = μ + β A + T
where Y = (Y1, Y2, . . . , Yp)0, β = (β1, β2, . . . , βp), F is a single random variable with E(F) = 0, V ar(F) = σ2F,
and T = (T1, T2, . . . , Tp) with the Ti
iid, E(Ti) = 0, σ2i = V ar(Ti) = σ2.
Hence V ar(T) = σ2
Ip where Ip is the p × p identity matrix.
What is V ar(Y ) in terms of β and σ. Poisson MLE
Suppose yi
is a count then a very common model is to assume the Poisson disttribuion:
P(Y = y | λ) = eλ λyy!, y = 0, 1, 2, . . .Given Yi ~ P oisson(λ) iid, (that is, Yi = yi), what is the MLE of λ?
3. Minimum Variance Portfolio
Suppose we are considering investing in p stocks where the uncertain return on the i
th stock is denoted by Ri
, i = 1, 2, . . . , p.
Let R = (R1, R2, . . . , Rp)0.
A portfolio is a given by w = (w1, w2, . . . , wp)
0 where wi
is the fraction of wealth invested in asset i.
The {wi} must satisfy Pwi = 1.
The return on the portfolio is then
P = w 0R =XwiRi.
We want to find the global minimum variance portfolio:
min wV ar(P), subject toXwi = 1.
If we let ι = (1, 1, . . . , 1)0
, the vector of ones, and V ar(R) = Σ then our problem is
min 0Σw subject to wι = 1.
Find the global minimum variance portfolio in terms of Σ and ι.

We will use SLR (simple linear regression) to relate house price to house size.
ddf = data.frame(size = md$SqFt/1000,price=md$Price/1000)
plot(ddf$size,ddf$price)
1.6 1.8 2.0 2.2 2.4 2.6
80 120 160 200
ddf$size
ddf$price
As in the notes let
θ2 = (β0, β1, σ).
According the the usual regression ouput:

lmf = lm(price~size,ddf)
