Phenomena-based models can be used in a predictive manner, but statistical modelling methods can also yield interesting findings and can serve as a tool for analysing the effects of different variables on the overall phenomenon. In addition, the generation of theoretical models can sometimes be limited due to the unideality of the studied system. Statistical modelling, in this case multiple-linear regression (MLR), was used to describe the effects of temperature and acid concentration on the dissolution of magnetite, Fe3O4 with oxalic acid. Whereas a linear model with an interaction term was sufficient in describing the dissolution of synthetic Fe3O4, a more complex full quadratic model had to be used to describe the dissolution of industrial Fe3O4 in the same conditions.

The purpose of this study is to derive a multiple linear regression model of the CAPM. More specifically, to test for other potential explanatory variables that can be added to the basic linear regression model for the expected returns on Apple Inc. The following explanatory variables were examined: share volume, outstanding shares, closing bid/ask spread, high/low spread and average spread. Using daily returns of Apple Inc. stock from 2007 till 2014 we were able to create a multiple linear regression model of CAPM that increase the R2 value from the basic linear regression model and enhances the amount of variability in the returns on an asset. This is an important modification that can help better forecast returns on assets.Keywords: CAPM; multiple linear regression model; average spread; variability in the returns

Spring breakup on northern rivers can result in ice jams that present severe flood risk to adjacent communities. Such events can occur extremely rapidly, leaving little or no advanced warning to residents. Fort McMurray, Alberta, is one such community, and at present no forecasting model exists for this site. Many of the previous studies regarding ice jam flood forecasting methods, in general, cite the lack of a comprehensive database as an obstacle to statistical modelling. This paper documents the development of an extensive database containing 106 variables, and covering the period from 1972 to 2004, that was created for ice jam forecasting on the Athabasca River. Through multiple linear regression analysis, equations were developed to model the maximum water level during spring breakup. The optimal model contained a combination of hydrological and meteorological data collected from early fall until the day before river ice breakup. The number of historical years of data, rather than the scope of variables, was found to be the major limitation in verifying the results presented in this study.Key words: river ice, breakup jam, multiple linear regression.

The relationship between flowering time and daylength and temperature is described for L. angustifolius using multiple linear regression. The main cultivar was Gungurru but cvv. Danja, Yorrel and the L. albus cv. Kiev Mutant were also studied. Regression analyses were performed on time to flowering observations for lupins grown with serial sowings at up to 12 sites over up to 5 years in Western Australia (there were 102 separate observations of time to flowering for Gungurru). Time to flowering in the L. angustifolius cultivars was best explained by a model incorporating terms for average temperature and daylength between sowing and flowering. Models of this form were not satisfactory for L. albus, probably because of vernalization requirements which the L. angustifolius cultivars do not have. Using data from the experiment with the widest range of sowings, 94.6% of the variation in time to flowering was explained by the above model and an additional 3.5% was explained by including an interaction term. The rate of progress through all stages of development to flowering, except for the period between appearance of the last leaf and flowering, was sensitive to temperature. The rate of leaf appearance responded to both temperature and daylength and the rate of progress through the period between appearance of the last leaf and flowering was sensitive only to daylength.

The study aims to analyze the influence of internal banking factors in the form of: Capital Adequency Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Total Assets (TA) to Non Performing Financing at Sharia Banks. This research method used multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS 16.00 software which is used to see the influence between the independent variables in the form of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Total Assets (TA) to Non Performing Financing. The sample of this study was 3 Islamic Commercial Banks, so there were 36 annual reports obtained through purposive sampling, then analyzed using multiple linear regression methods. The results showed that based on the F Test, the independent variable had an effect on the NPF, indicated by the F value of 17,016 and significance of 0,000, overall the independent variable was able to explain the effect of 69.60%. While based on the partial t test, showed that CAR has a significant negative effect, Total assets have a significant positive effect with a significance value below 0.05 (5%). Meanwhile FDR does not affect NPF.

This study aims to determine the effect of Inflation, Exchange Rate and Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) to Return of PT Nikko Securities Indonesia Stock Fund period 2014-2017. The study used secondary data obtained through documentation in the form of PT Nikko Securities Indonesia Monthly Net Asset (NAB) report. Data analysis is used with quantitative analysis, multiple linear regression analysis using eviews 9. Population and sample in this research are PT Nikko Securities Indonesia. The result of multiple linear regression analysis was the coefficient of determination (R2) showed the result of 0.123819 or 12%. This means that the Inflation, Exchange Rate and Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) variables can influence the return of PT Nikko Securities Indonesia's equity fund of 12% and 88% is influenced by other variables. Based on the result of the research, the variables of inflation and exchange rate have a negative and significant effect toward the return of PT Nikko Securities Indonesia's equity fund. While the variable of Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) has a negative but not significant effect toward Return of Equity Fund of PT Nikko Securities Indonesia
