the null and directional (when warranted) alternative hypothesis for the model. Consider selecting

independent variable from among monetary, fiscal, economic, financial, political, demographic and/or another factor you believe relevant. Do
not
use another interest rate as an independent variable for the first regression model. If your variable increases with time, such as the Consumer Price Index or the Money Supply, change the metric to an annual percent change from the prior year. Is the variable tested significant and consistent with the alternative hypothesis or merely “noise” in the market?

Ensure you provide and assess simple or descriptive data for the dependent and independent variables used in the regressions to include the three-month T-bill and independent variable selected for the model Present your findings in a report of approximately five pages (excluding tables, statistical output and/or graphs). Briefly provide a context of the economic and financial environment for the variables tested. I. Abstract Write an executive summary that should include at least the following: · The purpose of this paper.  Homework ask to use 3-month (90days) T bill as dependent variable and choose an independent variable which I chose inflation (Core CPI) and to see what happens to the T- Bill rate if CPI has increased on the supply and demand curve. · Techniques used. Simple regression · Overall results. II. Keywords What do you think are the keywords for this paper? III. Introduction · An overview of the paper.  · Define the variables used in the regression models (3-month Treasury Bill and Core Consumer Index). · Business cycle used (2002 -2019). · Source of data (Fred). IV. Literature Reviews Include one or two empirical studies that support the notion that CPI has an impact on the T-bills.  V. Methodology Write the method that we used to develop the model (Simple regression) Model Y = B0 + B1(X) + U 3-month T-bill= Intercept + B1(CPI) + Residuals  · Specify the null and directional alternative hypothesis. H0: B0=B1=0 CPI has no effect on 90-Day T Bill. Ha: B1>0 “An increase in CPI should lead to an increase in 90-day T-Bill.” We proved that an increase in CPI will increase the 90 day t bills. · Run a simple regression and obtain the summary and descriptive statistics (check the reasonableness of the results, the significance of the independent variable, and the consistency of that independent variable with the alternative hypothesis). I already run the simple regression and the regression statistics is below VI. Results Present the graphs of the simple regressions and tables of statistics. VII. Discussion · Analyze and compare the results obtained from the model (T-statistics, R-square, and SER) . · Compare the MSE of regression to the standard deviation of the dependent variable to assess the variation that is reduced by the X variable. Model Use a loanable framework to explain how and why an increase in CPI would impact the supply and demand curve of treasury bills. VIII. Limitations What are the limitations of our model? What are your future recommendations to develop them? IX. Conclusion Summary of the paper. X. References APA style.

Develop a simple linear regression model using one independent variable to explain the short-term, “risk-free” rate or yield (i.e., 90-day U.S. Treasury bill) dependent variable. Use monthly data over a recent U.S. business cycle (e.g., 2002 to XXXXXXXXXXProvide an overview of the paper. Stat

Consider selecting one independent variable from among monetary, fiscal, economic, financial, political, demographic and/or another factor you believe relevant. Do not use another interest rate as an independent variable for the first regression model. If your variable increases with time, such as the Consumer Price Index or the Money Supply, change the metric to an annual percent change from the prior year.

I. Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to understand the linear relationship between two variables, to find correlation coefficient, to find out descriptive statistics of two variables, to find regression equation, to check significance of linear relation and to take steps to avoid the limitations of this estimation by way of regression.
Techniques used:
Excel data add ins to find out descriptive statistic
Regression table
Anova
Overall results:
We took dependent variable as 90 days treasury and X as inflation rate and found out regression equation, tested significance using hypothesis test for slopes, p values etc.
II. Key words:
Significance, linear relation, regression, Mean square error, std deviation, slope coefficient, predictions, variables.
III. Introduction:
Being asked to find out a regression equation for one variable the variables were selected as 90 days bills for Y and inflation rate (CPI) for X. No of entries were 216 and care was taken to have these independent of each other.
Business cycle used for the years 2002 – 2019 and source was Fred.
Regression Output:
Discussion about linear regression results:
The above table is one we got for finding out linear relationship between independent variable and dependent variable.
Dependent variable y is the 90 days (3 months) treasurybill noted as y
Independent variable is the inflation (Core CPI), noted as x.
The regression analysis was done to find out the relationship (linear) if any between y and x.
IV. Literature review:
The analysis consists of statistical processes for estimating the relationship between y and x. The results have first row R.
R is nothing but the correlation coefficient and it always lies between -1 and 1. When absolute value of R lies nearer to 1, we say there is a strong linear correlation, and if it lies near to 0 weak linear correlation. In our analysis, r = 0.5688, which shows a moderate positive linear correlation.
The assumptions for linear regression were:
i. The samples were randomly drawn
ii. N , the sample size is sufficiently large.
iii. Observations are independent of each...
