• Viewed data from annual wage surveys conducted in 1994 and 1995 by Medical Economics Research Group, at the direction of Veterinary Economics and guessed what variables would be highly significant on affecting the outcome variable - earnings

• Coded the dummy variables for non-numerical variables, constructed the potential interaction variables, Explored the potential higher order term variables and remove the variables that has high collinearity

• Run the multiple regression by using step-wise method to find out the best model in SPSS. The most significant variable is “1994 personal compensation”. And the adjusted R square shows there are 89% of variation of earning income explained by the model The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 08/2015-12/2015 R Applied Time Series Project

• Collected and cleaned Facebook stock price data from Yahoo Finance in last 3-4 months by using python. Transformed the data by taking log and difference to make data stationary

• Constructed possible ARIMA models by using ACF, PACF and EACF diagram. Choose the best model by comparing AIC and BIC. Diagnosed the models by checking residuals, ACF of residuals, p-values and normality of residuals

• Built the model with seasonality and diagnosed model again. Predict the stock price for the next quarter. ADDITIONAL
