ECON61001 (Semester 1): Computer assignment 2
THE TASK
You are assigned a simulation study setup based on the last digit of your student ID number. Submitting a report for a wrong setup results in the mark of zero for this assignment. This computer assignment corresponds to 10% of your final grade. The details about individual simulation studies and models are provided on the pages below.
Your answers have to be reported in the following table. STUDENT ID NUMBER: (insert here)
Answer with 3 digits after the decimal point
Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 Question 5 Question 6 Question 7
You have to submit a single pdf file which starts with the above table. Fill in your answers in the table. For all the numbers report the first 3 digits after the decimal point: 3.567 instead of 3.6. You then have to include your R or MATLAB code. Hint: in RStudio go to File – Knit Document and include the generated report. The code will compile if and only if it is written without mistakes. If your code does not compile you still have to include it (just copy and paste as a text after the table).
The submission deadline for this assignment is noon UK time on January 17, 2022. The report has to be submitted in the pdf format via Turnitin on Blackboard. Please use your student ID as the file name, e.g. 12345.pdf. The assignment will be marked in accordance with the general SoSS PG Marking Criteria (available on Blackboard). Please make sure you are familiar with the University’s rules and regulations regarding plagiarism.
In general your task is to produce an analysis of the Generalized Least Squares estimator for the case where the error term follows an autoregressive process.
STUDENT ID NUMBERS ENDING WITH 1 OR 2
