Write a report on the statistical relationship that you find between the stock price of the company that you have been assigned and the following three variables: the S&P500, the US$/Euro exchange rate and the 10 year US Tresasury Bond interest rate. The study should be based upon daily data over a 2 year period and a comparison should be made between the results from a similar study based upon month end data. Your assigned company will appear in the excel file posted to moodle for this purpose in week 2 of the term.

Many times, people in the process of starting a business are asked who their customers are. The most common response is either “anybody” or “everybody.”
Discuss why this is the wrong answer particularly for a potential new business owner.

It is often suggested that Australia, and especially higher (i.e. university) education in Australia, is “meritocratic.” Using the statistics, identify a pattern relating to overall numbers of enrolments and low socio-economic status that seems to challenge this. Using academic sources, explain some theories and academic research that has sought to explain this pattern.

Assignment: Cox Proportional Hazard
Cox Proportional Hazard is a regression technique that incorporates the element of time-to-event into the computation of a hazard ratio. A censoring variable is one for which information is only partially known. A time-to-event variable is one that encapsulates the time between starting a treatment and onset of a new event.
For this Assignment, you identify a censoring variable and a time-to-event variable. You also identify an independent variable that represents exposure status (with exposure or without exposure). You then conduct Cox Proportional Hazard regression analysis using these variables to compare survival times for those with and without the exposure. Finally, you interpret the output of the regression, including the testing of the assumption of proportionality and the hazards ratio. Use the Week 9 Dataset (SPSS Document) located in the Learning Resources area to complete this assignment.
The Assignment
Dataset (20 Points)
Access the dataset in this week’s Learning Resources.
Identify the censoring variable, given that you wish to evaluate the event stroke.
Identify the time-to-event variable and produce a frequency table to determine the presence of ties. (10 Points)
Identify the independent variable for exposure status, given the following research question: Is there an association between hypertension and the time a person was followed before experiencing a stroke?
Create a table with the above variables and their role in this analysis. (10 Points)
Test the assumption of proportionality (30 Points)
Use Kaplan-Meier in SPSS. Create a Hazard plot with time = followed, status=stroke, and factor = hypertension. (20 Points)
Interpret the results: Are the baseline hazards proportional and what does this mean in terms of your planned methodology? (10 Points)
Use SPSS to run a Cox Proportional Hazards test (50 Points)
Use stroke as the event and hypertension as the factor. (be sure to identify hypertension as a categorical variable). Be sure to include the output in your submission. (20 Points)
Create a Hazard Plot for Hypertension (select separate lines) (10 Points)
Interpret the results. (10 Points)
Could the presence of ties in time followed (from the frequency table in 1c) affect the results? How might you accommodate ties in this analysis? (10 Points)
