Abstract: Estimating the Standard Deviation in Quality-Control Application
Purpose:
The standard deviation is normally distributing random variable, and a multiple sample
range is often used instead of the sample standard deviation. The purpose of the Estimating the Standard Deviation in Quality-Control Application study is to show the loss efficiency when using the sample range to estimate the process standard deviation is very small with relatively small sample size.
Research Question:
The research question of estimating the Standard Deviation in Quality-Control Application is the use of sample standard deviation is more efficient if the sample size exceeds two.
Hypothesis:
The hypothesis of estimating the Standard Deviation in Quality-Control Application is to see if the efficiency of standard deviation is affected by the sample size. The sample size need to more than two.
Main Finding:
The main finding of estimating the Standard Deviation in Quality-Control Application found that some previously published tables of relative efficiencies were either mislabel or inaccurate.
Abstract: Standard Deviations Implied in Option Prices as Predictors of Future Stock Price Variability.
Purpose:
Having knowledge or being able to predict accurately when a stock is going to hit the highest point or when this stock hits the lowest is a science. Many corporations and mathematicians use all type of research to gather enough evidence to get even close to the infamous swings.
“An analysis is made of a variance measure which could improve the predictive validity of a classical historical variance estimate. Latane and Rendleman derived standard deviations implied in actual call option prices (ISDs) after assuming that...
