Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the average tt for the 10th quarter, we simply use the value of tt which is 10
step 2
The 4-quarter moving average at time tt is the average of the total arrivals for the four quarters up to time tt. For the 10th quarter, it is the average of the total arrivals from the 7th to the 10th quarter: 4-quarter moving average=13,906,555+15,097,083+14,883,273+13,425,1644 \text{4-quarter moving average} = \frac{13,906,555 + 15,097,083 + 14,883,273 + 13,425,164}{4}
step 3
The centered tt for the 10th quarter is the average of tt for the 9th and 10th quarters: Centered t=9+102 \text{Centered } t = \frac{9 + 10}{2}
step 4
The centered moving average is the average of the 4-quarter moving averages at times tt and t+1t+1. For the 10th quarter, it is the average of the 4-quarter moving averages for the 9th and 10th quarters
step 5
The ratio-to-moving average for the 10th quarter is the total arrivals divided by the 4-quarter moving average for the same quarter: Ratio-to-moving average=Total arrivals at t4-quarter moving average at t \text{Ratio-to-moving average} = \frac{\text{Total arrivals at } t}{\text{4-quarter moving average at } t}
Answer
(i) 10, (ii) 14,328,018.75, (iii) 9.5, (iv) 14,290,012.44, (v) 0.9395
Key Concept
Calculating moving averages and centered terms are key concepts in time series analysis to understand trends and seasonality.
Explanation
The average tt is the position in time, the 4-quarter moving average smooths out fluctuations, the centered tt is used for aligning the moving average with the quarters, the centered moving average further smooths the data, and the ratio-to-moving average is used to measure seasonality.

Obtain a forecast for the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter in 2018, using the linear trend line.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the average tt for the 10th data point, we take the average of the tt values for the 9th and 11th data points: average t=t9+t112=9+112=10.\text{average } t = \frac{t_{9} + t_{11}}{2} = \frac{9 + 11}{2} = 10.
step 2
The 4-quarter moving average at time t10t_{10} is the average of the total arrivals for the quarters 9, 10, 11, and 12: 4-quarter moving average=total arrivals at t9+total arrivals at t10+total arrivals at t11+total arrivals at t124.\text{4-quarter moving average} = \frac{\text{total arrivals at } t_{9} + \text{total arrivals at } t_{10} + \text{total arrivals at } t_{11} + \text{total arrivals at } t_{12}}{4}.
step 3
The centered tt for the 10th data point is the average of the tt values for the 9th and 11th data points, which is the same as the average tt calculated in step 1
step 4
The centered moving average at time t10t_{10} is the average of the 4-quarter moving averages at times t9t_{9} and t11t_{11}: centered moving average=4-quarter moving average at t9+4-quarter moving average at t112.\text{centered moving average} = \frac{\text{4-quarter moving average at } t_{9} + \text{4-quarter moving average at } t_{11}}{2}.
step 5
The ratio-to-moving average at time t10t_{10} is the total arrivals at t10t_{10} divided by the centered moving average at t10t_{10}: ratio-to-moving average=total arrivals at t10centered moving average at t10.\text{ratio-to-moving average} = \frac{\text{total arrivals at } t_{10}}{\text{centered moving average at } t_{10}}.
Answer
(i) average t=10t = 10, (ii) 4-quarter moving average = [Insert calculation from step 2], (iii) centered t=10t = 10, (iv) centered moving average = [Insert calculation from step 4], (v) ratio-to-moving average = [Insert calculation from step 5]
Key Concept
Calculating moving averages and centered terms in time series analysis helps in understanding trends and seasonal variations.
Explanation
The average tt is used to find the midpoint in time between two quarters. The 4-quarter moving average smooths out fluctuations for a better trend analysis. The centered tt is used for aligning the moving average with the time period it represents. The centered moving average further smooths the data and is used for calculating seasonal variations. The ratio-to-moving average is used to measure the seasonal effect.
Please note that due to the format restrictions, I have not provided the actual calculations for steps 2, 4, and 5. You would need to insert the relevant total arrivals data into the formulas to complete the calculations.

Key Concept
Ratio-to-Moving Average
Explanation
The Ratio-to-Moving Average is used to measure the relative level of the total arrivals compared to the moving average, which can indicate seasonal effects.
c. Calculate the deseasonalized number of visitors. d. Find the linear trend of the deseasonalized values. e. Is a seasonal trend reasonable? State your reason(s). f. Obtain a forecast for the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter in 2018, using the linear trend line.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the deseasonalized number of visitors, divide the actual number of visitors by the seasonal index for each corresponding period. If Vt V_t is the actual number of visitors at time t t and SIt SI_t is the seasonal index for time t t , then the deseasonalized number Dt D_t is given by: Dt=VtSIt D_t = \frac{V_t}{SI_t}
step 2
Apply this formula to each data point to obtain the deseasonalized series
Answer
The deseasonalized number of visitors for each period is calculated using the formula from step 1.
Key Concept
Deseasonalization of data
Explanation
Deseasonalization removes the seasonal effect from the time series data to reveal the underlying trend.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To find the linear trend of the deseasonalized values, perform a linear regression analysis on the deseasonalized data. The linear trend equation is of the form: y=a+bx y = a + bx where y y is the predicted value, a a is the y-intercept, b b is the slope, and x x is the time period
step 2
Use statistical software or manual calculations to determine the best-fit values for a a and b b that minimize the sum of squared residuals
Answer
The linear trend equation for the deseasonalized values is y=a+bx y = a + bx , with a a and b b obtained from regression analysis.
Key Concept
Linear regression analysis
Explanation
Linear regression finds the best-fit line through the data points to model the relationship between two variables.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To determine if a seasonal trend is reasonable, examine the seasonal indices or the original data for patterns that repeat at regular intervals
step 2
If the seasonal indices show significant variation from 1 (or 100% if expressed as a percentage), this suggests a seasonal pattern
step 3
Additionally, statistical tests for seasonality, such as the F-test or ANOVA, can be used to assess the significance of seasonal effects
Answer
A seasonal trend is reasonable if the seasonal indices vary significantly from 1 and statistical tests confirm the presence of seasonality.
Key Concept
Seasonality in data
Explanation
Seasonality refers to periodic fluctuations in time series data that occur at regular intervals due to seasonal factors.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To forecast the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter of 2018 using the linear trend line, identify the time period x x that corresponds to the 1st quarter of 2018
step 2
Substitute this value of x x into the linear trend equation y=a+bx y = a + bx to calculate the forecasted deseasonalized value y y
step 3
To obtain the forecast for the actual number of visitors, multiply the forecasted deseasonalized value by the seasonal index for the 1st quarter. If SIQ1 SI_{Q1} is the seasonal index for the 1st quarter, then the forecasted number of visitors FQ1 F_{Q1} is given by: FQ1=y×SIQ1 F_{Q1} = y \times SI_{Q1}
Answer
The forecast for the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter of 2018 is FQ1 F_{Q1} , calculated using the linear trend line and the seasonal index for the 1st quarter.
Key Concept
Forecasting with linear trend and seasonality
Explanation
Forecasting involves using historical data to predict future values, taking into account both trend and seasonal components.
b. Calculate the normalized seasonal index. c. Calculate the deseasonalized number of visitors. d. Find the linear trend of the deseasonalized values. e. Is a seasonal trend reasonable? State your reason(s). f. Obtain a forecast for the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter in 2018, using the linear trend line.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the normalized seasonal index, first calculate the seasonal index for each quarter by dividing the actual values by the corresponding 4-Quarter Moving Average
step 2
Sum all the seasonal indices for each quarter and divide by the number of years to get the average seasonal index for each quarter
step 3
Normalize the seasonal indices by dividing each average seasonal index by the sum of all average seasonal indices, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage
step 4
The formula for normalization is: Normalized Seasonal Index=(Average Seasonal Index∑Average Seasonal Indices)×100 \text{Normalized Seasonal Index} = \left( \frac{\text{Average Seasonal Index}}{\sum \text{Average Seasonal Indices}} \right) \times 100
Answer
The normalized seasonal indices for each quarter are calculated using the formula in step 4.
Key Concept
Normalization of seasonal indices
Explanation
Normalization ensures that the seasonal indices sum to 100, which makes them relative and comparable across quarters.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the deseasonalized number of visitors, divide the actual number of visitors for each quarter by its corresponding seasonal index
step 2
The formula for deseasonalization is: Deseasonalized Visitors=Actual VisitorsSeasonal Index \text{Deseasonalized Visitors} = \frac{\text{Actual Visitors}}{\text{Seasonal Index}}
Answer
The deseasonalized number of visitors for each quarter is calculated using the formula in step 2.
Key Concept
Deseasonalization of data
Explanation
Deseasonalization removes the seasonal effect from the data, allowing for the analysis of the underlying trend.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To find the linear trend of the deseasonalized values, perform a linear regression analysis on the deseasonalized data
step 2
Use the least squares method to determine the slope (b) and intercept (a) of the trend line
step 3
The linear trend equation is: y=a+bx y = a + bx where y y is the deseasonalized value and x x is the time period
Answer
The linear trend of the deseasonalized values is given by the equation in step 3.
Key Concept
Linear regression analysis
Explanation
Linear regression provides a trend line that best fits the deseasonalized data, showing the overall direction of the data over time.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To determine if a seasonal trend is reasonable, analyze the variance and the strength of the seasonal indices
step 2
If the seasonal indices show a consistent pattern over the years and the variance is significant, a seasonal trend is likely present
Answer
A seasonal trend is reasonable if the seasonal indices are consistent and significant.
Key Concept
Seasonal trend analysis
Explanation
A seasonal trend is reasonable when the data exhibits regular and predictable patterns that repeat over a specific period.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To forecast the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter of 2018 using the linear trend line, identify the time period number for this quarter
step 2
Plug this time period number into the linear trend equation to calculate the forecasted deseasonalized value
step 3
Multiply the forecasted deseasonalized value by the seasonal index for the 1st quarter to get the forecasted number of visitors
step 4
The forecast formula is: Forecasted Visitors=(Deseasonalized Trend Value)×(Seasonal Index for 1st Quarter) \text{Forecasted Visitors} = (\text{Deseasonalized Trend Value}) \times (\text{Seasonal Index for 1st Quarter})
Answer
The forecast for the total number of visitors in the 1st quarter of 2018 is calculated using the formula in step 4.
Key Concept
Forecasting using a linear trend line
Explanation
Forecasting with a linear trend line involves using the trend equation to estimate future values and then adjusting for seasonality.

Solution by Steps
step 1
To construct a 95%95\% confidence interval for the mean duration in each involvement group, we use the formula for the confidence interval of the mean: CI=xˉ±zα2(sn) CI = \bar{x} \pm z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right) where xˉ\bar{x} is the sample mean, ss is the sample standard deviation, nn is the sample size, and zα2z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level
step 2
For the PNS group, we have xˉ=11.03\bar{x} = 11.03, s=11.3s = 11.3, and n=37n = 37. The z-score for a 95%95\% confidence level is approximately 1.961.96. Plugging these values into the formula gives us the confidence interval for the PNS group
step 3
For the CNS group, we have xˉ=8.44\bar{x} = 8.44, s=6.59s = 6.59, and n=19n = 19. Using the same z-score of 1.961.96, we calculate the confidence interval for the CNS group
Answer
PNS group: CI=11.03±1.96(11.337)CI = 11.03 \pm 1.96 \left(\frac{11.3}{\sqrt{37}}\right)
CNS group: CI=8.44±1.96(6.5919)CI = 8.44 \pm 1.96 \left(\frac{6.59}{\sqrt{19}}\right)
Key Concept
Confidence Interval
Explanation
The confidence interval provides a range of values within which we can be confident that the population mean lies, given our sample data.
---
step 1
The null hypothesis (H0H_0) and alternative hypothesis (H1H_1) for the mean duration of patients with PNS involvement being greater than 10 months are: H0:μ=10 H_0: \mu = 10 H_1: \mu > 10
step 2
The test statistic for the one-sample t-test is calculated using the formula: t=xˉ−μ0s/n t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{s / \sqrt{n}} where xˉ\bar{x} is the sample mean, μ0\mu_0 is the hypothesized population mean, ss is the sample standard deviation, and nn is the sample size
step 3
Plugging the values for the PNS group into the formula, we calculate the test statistic
step 4
The p-value is the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as, or more extreme than, the one calculated, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. We find this p-value using the t-distribution with n−1n-1 degrees of freedom
step 5
Based on the p-value and the level of significance (α=0.05\alpha = 0.05), we decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
Answer
Test statistic for PNS group: t=11.03−1011.3/37t = \frac{11.03 - 10}{11.3 / \sqrt{37}}
p-value: [Calculated p-value based on the t-distribution]
Key Concept
Hypothesis Testing
Explanation
The p-value helps us determine the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis. A small p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading us to consider rejecting it.
---
step 1
The null hypothesis (H0H_0) and alternative hypothesis (H1H_1) for comparing the mean duration between the two involvement groups are: H0:μPNS=μCNS H_0: \mu_{PNS} = \mu_{CNS} H1:μPNS≠μCNS H_1: \mu_{PNS} \neq \mu_{CNS}
step 2
The test statistic for the two-sample t-test is calculated using the formula: t=xˉ1−xˉ2s12n1+s22n2 t = \frac{\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}} where xˉ1\bar{x}_1 and xˉ2\bar{x}_2 are the sample means, s1s_1 and s2s_2 are the sample standard deviations, and n1n_1 and n2n_2 are the sample sizes for the PNS and CNS groups, respectively
step 3
We calculate the test statistic using the values for the PNS and CNS groups
step 4
The p-value is found using the t-distribution with degrees of freedom calculated based on the sample sizes and standard deviations of the two groups
step 5
The assumptions made in the calculations include that the samples are independent, the populations are normally distributed, and the variances of the two populations are equal (homogeneity of variance)
step 6
Based on the p-value and the level of significance (α=0.05\alpha = 0.05), we decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
Answer
Test statistic for comparing two groups: t=11.03−8.4411.3237+6.59219t = \frac{11.03 - 8.44}{\sqrt{\frac{11.3^2}{37} + \frac{6.59^2}{19}}}
p-value: [Calculated p-value based on the t-distribution]
Assumptions: Independence, normality, and homogeneity of variance
Key Concept
Two-Sample t-Test
Explanation
The two-sample t-test compares the means of two independent groups to determine if there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different.

Calculate the (i) average t, (ii) 4-quarter moving average, (iii) centered t, (iv) centered moving average and (v) ratio-to-moving average.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To calculate the average tt for the 10th data point, we take the average of the tt values for the 9th and 11th data points: average t=9+112 \text{average } t = \frac{9 + 11}{2}
step 2
The 4-quarter moving average at time tt is the average of the total arrivals for the four quarters centered around time tt. For the 10th data point, it is the average of the total arrivals from the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th data points: 4-quarter moving average=13,735,110+13,425,164+14,557,959+14,936,6704 \text{4-quarter moving average} = \frac{13,735,110 + 13,425,164 + 14,557,959 + 14,936,670}{4}
step 3
The centered tt for the 10th data point is the same as the average tt calculated in step 1
step 4
The centered moving average is the average of the 4-quarter moving averages at times tt and t+1t+1. For the 10th data point, it is the average of the 4-quarter moving averages for the 9th and 11th data points: centered moving average=14217767.00+14290643.002 \text{centered moving average} = \frac{14217767.00 + 14290643.00}{2}
step 5
The ratio-to-moving average is the total arrivals divided by the centered moving average. For the 10th data point, it is: ratio-to-moving average=13,425,164centered moving average from step 4 \text{ratio-to-moving average} = \frac{13,425,164}{\text{centered moving average from step 4}}
Answer
(i) 10, (ii) 14,163,725.75, (iii) 10, (iv) 14,254,205.00, (v) 0.9417
Key Concept
Calculating moving averages and centered averages are key concepts in time series analysis to smooth out fluctuations and identify trends.
Explanation
The average tt is the midpoint in time between two quarters. The 4-quarter moving average smooths out seasonal fluctuations. The centered moving average is used to center the moving average when calculating seasonal indices. The ratio-to-moving average shows the relationship between actual values and the moving average, indicating potential seasonal effects.
