This paper discusses the development of a multiple regression model to predict the final examination marks of students in an undergraduate business statistics course. The marks of a sample of 366 students in the Winter 2017 semester were used to fit the regression model. The final model contained three predictor variables namely two test marks and the homework assignment mark. The marks of another 194 students from Winter 2018 were used to validate the model. The model validation showed that it can be used for future cohorts of students for prediction. The two main objectives of the study were to use the model as a teaching tool in class and to use the model to predict final examination marks of future students.

The aim of this study was to verify the precision and accuracy of 5 models for leaf area prediction using length and width of leaf blades of Megathyrsus maximus cv. BRS Zuri and to reparametrize models. Data for the predictor variables, length (L) and width (W) of leaf blades of BRS Zuri grass tillers, were collected in May 2018 in the experimental area of Embrapa Gado de Corte, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The predictor variables had high correlation values (P<0.001). In the analysis of adequacy of the models, the first-degree models that use leaf blade length (Model A), leaf width × leaf length (Model B) and linear multiple regression (Model C) promoted estimated values similar to the leaf area values observed (P>0.05), with high values for determination coefficient (>80%) and correlation concordance coefficient (>90%). Among the 5 models evaluated, the linear multiple regression (Model C: β0 = -5.97, β1 = 0.489, β2 = 1.11 and β3 = 0.351; R² = 89.64; P<0.001) and as predictor variables, width, length and length × width of the leaf blade, are the most adequate to generate precise and exact estimates of the leaf area of BRS Zuri grass.

Training Success

An already developed multiple-regression model for predicting success of Medex trainees in their training program was cross-validated using a new group of Medex trainees. Six psychological test predictor variables (2 on the MMPI and 4 on the Strong) “held up” upon cross-validation. The results lent credence to the use of multidimensional judgment scaling for establishment of a personnel evaluation-grading criterion measure.

Realistic Data

The recent and continuing phenomenal growth in the numbers undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca is considered against the backcloth of the host region's finite resources. A multiple-regression model is developed which seeks to explain the present pattern of pilgrim movement and to predict future numbers. Insights are provided into the actual stage-by-stage development towards the final model. The assumptions implicit within our evaluations are clearly and unequivocably indicated and discussed. Improved levels of explanation result from more-realistic data inputs. Future pilgrim numbers are predicted for 1983 and 1993. The problem of the ever increasing numbers of pilgrims is briefly alluded to and interim measures are suggested.

Do So

A multiple regression model for predicting trainee success in a Medex training program is reported. This model employs selected MMPI and Strong scales as predictor variables. Although the model has not yet been cross-validated (plans to do so are underway), elements of it seem consistent with evaluations based on clinical judgment.

Bank Specific Factors

Banking sector is the backbone of any economy, so it is necessary to focus on its performance which is largely affected by its non-performing assets (NPAs). In the year 2018–2019, NPA of scheduled banks was Rs 355,076 Crore which is 3.7% of net advances. The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants based on analysis from previous literatures, and majorly macroeconomic and bank specific factors which are affecting NPAs using the relative weight analysis and to frame a model to predict future NPAs using multiple regression model using SPSS. The study also attempts to focus on actions and remedies that banks should make to control future NPAs. Findings of the study will act as a scaffolding for financial analysts and policymakers to prevent the conversion of its performing assets into NPAs and also help in proper management of banks and also in the recovery of economy.
