I like this company, but should I add it to my portfolio3 &his article talks about diversification and balancing risk with your stock selections. &he $rbitrage %ricing &heory 4$%&5 was developed primarily by 6oss 41789a, 1789b5. It is a one:period model in which every investor believes that the stochastic properties of returns of capital assets are consistent with a factor structure. 6oss argues that if e-uilibrium prices offer no arbitrage opportunities over static portfolios of the assets, then the expected returns on the assets are approximately linearly related to the factor loadings. 4&he factor loadings, or betas, are proportional to the returns2 co variances with the factors.5 &he result is stated in ;ection 1. 6oss2 41789a5 heuristic argument for the theory is based on the preclusion of arbitrage. &his intuition is sketched out in ;ection 2.

<

6oss2 formal proof shows that the .inear pricing relation is a necessary condition for e-uilibrium in a market where agents maximi1e certain types of utility. &he subse-uent work, which is surveyed below, derives either from the assumption of the preclusion of arbitrage or the e-uilibrium futility:maximi1ation. $ linear relation between the expected returns and the betas is tantamount to an identification of the stochastic discount factor 4;D=5. ;ections " and #, respectively, review this literature. &he $%& is a substitute for the 'apital $sset %ricing !odel 4'$%!5 in that both assert a linear relation between assets2 expected returns and their covariance with other random variables. 4In the '$%!, the covariance is with the market portfolio2s return.5 &he covariance is interpreted as a measure of risk that investors cannot avoid by diversification. &he slope coefficient in the linear relation between the expected returns and the covariance is interpreted as a risk premium. ;uch a relation is closely tied to mean:variance efficiency, which is reviewed in ;ection <. ;ection < also points out that an empirical test of the $%& entails a procedure to identify at least some features of the underlying factor structure. !erely stating that some collection of portfolios 4or even a single portfolio5 is mean:variance efficient relative to the mean:variance frontier spanned by the existing assets does not constitute a test of the $%&, because one can always find a mean:variance efficient portfolio. 'onse-uently, as a test of the $%& it is not sufficient to merely show that a setoff factor portfolio satisfies the linear relation between the expected return and its covariance with the factors portfolios. $ sketch of the empirical approaches to the $%& is offered in ;ection 9, while ;ection 8 describes various procedures to identify the underlying factors. &he large number of factors proposed in the literature and the variety of statistical or ad hoc procedures to find them indicates that a definitive insight on the topic is still missing. =inally, ;ection > surveys the applications of the $%&, the most prominent being the evaluation of the performance of money managers who actively change their portfolios. 1 (nfortunately, the $%& does not necessarily preclude arbitrage opportunities over dynamic portfolios of the existing assets. &herefore, the applications of the $%& in the evaluation of managed portfolios contradict at least the spirit of the $%&, which obtains price restrictions by assuming the absence of arbitrage.

$rbitrage is an often:used term in share markets. &he arbitrager is an important intermediary that helps in price discovery mechanism in all markets be it e-uity, moneyforex or derivatives. &here are three important participants that are important in a cash market, the speculator, arbitrager and an investor. In futures market the investor is replaced by a hedger. $rbitrager and ;peculator are often confused and both are termed as ;peculators. In this article I wish to explain the difference between the two and show how arbitrage works in the market and its influence on market volatility. $rbitraging in India has been going on for several years. Initially arbitrage activity was between ;tock +xchange !umbai and all other regional exchanges. !r. agri the founder of . abulal ;ecurities and !r. !anubhai!aneklal were legendary

arbitragers of that era. &hey traded between !umbai, Delhi and 'alcutta markets. $rbitraging in those days was done manually and not on any online system. &he way the fingers of these brokers flew on telex machines giving trade instructions was an experience by itself. &hen it shifted to cashing on price difference between ?;+ and ;+ limited. &oday large amount of arbitrage happens between cash and derivative markets. $rbitrage is also possible between the current month and near or far month contracts. In case of 'ommodity exchanges also there is an arbitrage opportunity between the local cash markets or mandis and the future markets which are popularly known as ?ational 'ommodity +xchanges. ;peculator is one who gives li-uidity to the markets. &he buyers and sellers may not often decide at the same time to buy or sell a security. &here is a time gap as well as a difference in price and -uantity at which the buyer and seller intend to do a transaction. &he speculator fills this time gap and gives -uotes to buyers as well as sellers on a continuous basis. &his imparts li-uidity to the market since each order has a counter offer from a speculator even if there is no counter party to match the order. &he arbitrager is one who plays the role of balancing the price differences across the markets. &he markets may be two exchanges trading in the same product or two segments such as cash and derivatives or across international markets and local markets. &he arbitrager continuously tracks prices across the chosen segment. are momentary price differences in two markets due to difference in level of information as well as demand supply situation in the market. &hese price differences are an

@pportunity for the arbitrager. &he arbitrager has money power at his disposal. )e takes deliveries in a particular market segment and is able to give deliveries in another market segment. &here is a time gap between giving and taking deliveries. )e holds the stock for this time and earns an interest on the funds invested which comes by way of price differential between buy and sell rates. &he arbitrager has a particular interest return as his target. )e does not have any open positions and all his purchases or sells in a particular market segment have a counter position in another market segment. $t the net level his position is always 1ero. &his is how the arbitrager earns a risk free return. &he arbitrager does not always wait for the expiry of the contract or the settlement of the transaction. &hey may reverse the position before the actual settlement date even if they have to compromise on some percentage of the price difference earned by them. .esser return is acceptable if it is earned with smaller or no investment. $ll decisions are taken with reference to a benchmark:targeted return. &o give example of an arbitrage transaction, assume that the arbitrager has 6s.1A lacs available for doing arbitrage activity. )is targeted return is say 1>B p.a. which works to about 1.<B p.m. Ce will take a simplistic transaction where he does just one trade to earn the return. If some share is -uoting at 6s.1AAA in one cash market he will look for opportunity to buy at 6s.1AAA*: and sell at 6s.1A1<*: or more in another cash market simultaneously. &hese markets must have different settlement dates otherwise in current rolling settlement scenario it is not possible to give and receive delivery since both happen on the same day. ?ow the same example can be extended to cash and derivative segment. ;hares are purchased in cash marketD and sold in futures market. Delivery of the shares is received in the rolling settlement. ;ince deliveries are not permitted in futures market a reversal opportunity is looked for before the expiry of contract, otherwise the arbitrager will be left with the delivery of shares. )ence if he gained say 6s.2< per share on the first leg he will reverse the trades up to a loss of 6s.1A in order to achieve his benchmark return of 6s.1<.&he returns are not often as fantastic but opportunities are many. Ce also have to deduct from this the cost of brokerage, ;ecurities transaction tax, stock exchange

>

charges and stamp duty. )ence it becomes unviable for an investor unless the transaction costs are very low. &he price difference is only for a few minutes or seconds hence it must be captured instantly through a speedy trading system. It should not so happen that one transaction is done and the other one does not go through i.e. if the arbitrager buys and is unable to sell and the market falls then instead of making a profit he will end up with a loss. $utomated trading programs are used in order to release both orders so that both the prices are captured simultaneously. $rbitrage activity thus adds to li-uidity in the markets and also helps in balancing the prices of same shares across various markets. %rices continuously balance out once the differences are cash upon. $rbitrage )elps in reducing volatility in markets since continuous flow of orders reduces impact cost and more depth means less volatility. $ small investor may not always be able to capture small differences in prices. &hey are not constantly in front of the trading screen nor do they have sophisticated trading systems to execute the orders. &hey are often linked to Internet or a network connection that is not direct feed into the stock exchange system i.e. @.& or ?+$&. ;treaming est strategy is to -uotes on online trading is closest that is available for such trading.

look for difference in shares prices of stocks that you already have, hence delivery is not a problem. @therwise it is a volume game, small returns over thousands of transactions is the name of the game. It is advisable to study the opportunities. Eou may not act on all of them, but it prepares you to invest your money wisely when you are a illionaireF. +utu$% Fu"! Fe$ture &here have been many successful arbitrage schemes launched in the Indian !utual =und Industry, but G! =inancial !utual =und is the pioneer in this segment. It launched its first arbitrage scheme : G! +-uity H Derivative =und : and introduced the concept across the country in 2AA<. $fter an overwhelming response to this scheme, where the 'ompany collected around 6s >2" crores, it has now come up with a new fund offering called Arb tr$*e A!/$"t$*e Fu"!0 &he objective of this ;cheme is to generate income through arbitrage opportunities emerging out of mis:pricing between the cash and the derivatives markets and through deployment of surplus cash in fixed:income instruments. $rbitrage $dvantage =und is an extended version of the G! +-uity H Derivatives =und, which 7

$ccording to the new guidelines by ;+ I can hedge the entire position of its e-uity stock, opposed to earlier when a mutual fund scheme could buy*sell futures for only up to <AB of the corpus. &herefore in this new scheme, there is a mandate to deploy up to >AB of the corpus into e-uity shares and hedge e-uivalent futures by allocating the balance 2AB towards margins. &his will enhance the returns of an arbitrage scheme phenomenally, just as the 'ompany delivered 8B per annum returns in the pastD and with the new ;cheme, the returns to investors would be higher, at >.<:7B a year. ;cheme =eature Asset A%%oc$t o" Instruments 6isk %rofile !in:!ax +-uity H +-uity:linked instruments !edium:)igh 9<:>AB Derivatives, including stock futures and stock optionsI !edium:)igh 9<:>AB Debt ;ecurities, !oney !arket Instruments !edium:)igh 2A:"<B G! $rbitrage $dvantage =und 1#th Gune 2AA9 $ market:neutral strategy Arb tr$*e Str$te* es $rbitrage is a strategy involving a simultaneous purchase and sale of identical or e-uivalent instruments across two or more markets in order to benefit from a discrepancy in their price relationship. It is a risk:free transaction, as the long and short legs of the transaction offset each other exactly. &hus, arbitrage engages in a strategy in order to reduce risk of loss caused by price fluctuations of securities held in the portfolio. It involves buying and selling of e-ual -uantities of a security in two different markets, with the expectations that a future change in price will offset by an opposite change in the other. Daily turnover in the derivatives segment is around ".< times the cash market volumes and is to the tune of 6s "A,AAA crores. $rbitrage activity is largely concentrated in single stock futures, while index arbitrage is not very popular, although it contributes about 2<:"AB of the total stock futures volumes. In India, stock borrowing in the cash market is cumbersome, making the /;ell ;tock buy =utures0 strategy difficultD hence, almost the entire arbitrage activity is concentrated in / uy ;tock:;ell =utures0.#

lack:;chools theory, which is the main subject of this course and its se-uel, is

based on the +fficient !arket )ypothesis that arbitrages 4the term will be defined shortly5 do not exist in efficient markets. $lthough this is never completely true in practice, it is a useful basis for pricing theory, and we shall limit our attention 4at least for now5 to efficient 4that is, arbitrage:free5 markets. Ce shall see that absence of arbitrage sometimes leads to uni-ue determination of prices of various derivative securities, and gives clues about how these derivative securities may be hedged. In particular, we shall see that, in the absence of arbitrage, the market imposes a probability distribution, called a risk:neutral or e-uilibrium measure, on the set of possible market scenarios, and that this probability measure determines market prices via discounted expectation. &his is the =undamental &heorem of arbitrage pricing. efore we state the =undamental &heorem formally, or consider its ramifications, we shall consider several simple examples of derivative pricing in which the +fficient !arket )ypothesis allows one to directly determine the market price. E@$m#%e1 For)$r! Co"tr$cts In the simplest forward contract, there is a single underlying asset ;tock, whose share price 4in units of 'ash5 at time t K A is known but at time t K 1 is subject to uncertainty. It is also assumed that there is a riskless asset !oney!arket, that is, an asset whose ;hare price at t K 1 is not subject to uncertaintyD the share price of !oney!arket at t K A is 1 and at t K 1 is regardless of the market scenario. &he constant r is called the risk less rate of return. &he forward contract calls for one of the agents to pay the other an amount = 4the forward price5 in 'ash at time t K 1 in exchange for one share of ;tock. &he forward price = is written into the contract at time t K A. ?o money or assets change hands at time t K A. %roposition 1. In an arbitrage:free market, the forward price is = K ;Aer.Informally, an arbitrage is a way to make a guaranteed profit from nothing, by short:selling certain assets at time t K A, using the proceeds to buy other assets, and then settling accounts at time t K 1. Chen an investor sells an asset short, he*she must borrow shares of the asset to sell in return for a promise to return the shares at a pre:specified future time 4and, usually, an interest charge5. In real markets there are constraints on short:selling imposed by 12

brokers and market regulators to assure that the shares borrowed for short sales can be repaid. In the ideali1ed markets of the lack:;choles universe, such constraints do not exist, nor are there interest payments on borrowed shares, nor are there transaction costs 4brokerage fees5. =urthermore, it is assumed that investors may buy or sell shares 4as many as they like5 in any asset at the prevailing market price without affecting the share price.

Fu"!$me"t$%s1 Au$"t t$t /e $"! Au$% t$t /e Eou could define fundamental analysis as /researching the fundamentals0, but that doesn2t tell you a whole lot unless you know what fundamentals are. $s we mentioned in the introduction, the big problem with defining fundamentals is that it can include anything related to the economic well:being of a company. @bvious items include things like revenue and profit, but fundamentals also include everything from a company2s market share to the -uality of its management. &he various fundamental factors can be grouped into two categoriesL -uantitative and -ualitative. &he financial meaning of these terms isn2t all that different from their regular definitions. )ere is how the !;? +ncarta dictionary defines the termsL Muantitative N capable of being measured or expressed in numerical terms. Mualitative N related to or based on the -uality or character of something, often as opposed to its si1e or -uantity. In our context, -uantitative fundamentals are numeric, measurable characteristics about a business. It2s easy to see how the biggest source of -uantitative data is the financial statements. Eou can measure revenue, profit, assets and more with great precision. &urning to -ualitative fundamentals, these are the less tangible factors surrounding a business : things such as the -uality of a company2s board members and key executives, its brand:name recognition, patents or proprietary technology.

Au$"t t$t /e +eets Au$% t$t /e ?either -ualitative nor -uantitative analysis is inherently better than the other. Instead, many analysts consider -ualitative factors in conjunction with the hard, 1"

-uantitative factors. &ake the 'oca:'ola 'ompany, for example. Chen examining its stock, an analyst might look at the stock2s annual dividend payout, earnings per share, %*+ ratio and many other -uantitative factors. )owever, no analysis of 'oca:'ola would be complete without taking into account its brand recognition. $nybody can start a company that sells sugar and water, but few companies on earth are recogni1ed by billions of people. It2s tough to put your finger on exactly what the 'oke brand is worth, but you can be sure that it2s an essential ingredient contributing to the company2s ongoing success. T'e Co"ce#t o& I"tr "s c 7$%ue efore we get any further, we have to address the subject of intrinsic value. @ne of the primary assumptions of fundamental analysis is that the price on the stock market does not fully reflect a stock2s /real0 value. $fter all, why would you be doing price analysis if the stock market were always correct3 In financial jargon, this true value is known as the intrinsic value. =or example, let2s say that a company2s stock was trading at O2A. $fter doing extensive homework on the company, you determine that it really is worth O2<. In other words, you determine the intrinsic value of the firm to be O2<. &his is clearly relevant because an investor wants to buy stocks that are trading at prices significantly below their estimated intrinsic value. &his leads us to one of the second major assumptions of fundamental analysisL in the long run, the stock market will reflect the fundamentals. &here is no point in buying a stock based on intrinsic value if the price never reflected that value. ?obody knows how long /the long run0 really is. It could be days or years. &his is what fundamental analysis is all about. y focusing on a particular business, an investor can estimate the intrinsic value of a firm and thus find opportunities where he or she can buy at a discount. If all goes well, the investment will pay off over time as the market catches up to the fundamentals. &he big unknowns areL Eou don2t know if your estimate of intrinsic value is correctD and Eou don2t know how long it will take for the intrinsic value to be reflected in the marketplace. 1#

Cr t c sms o& Fu"!$me"t$% A"$%-s s &he biggest criticisms of fundamental analysis come primarily from two groupsL proponents of technical analysis and believers of the /efficient market hypothesis0. &echnical analysis is the other major form of security analysis. Ce2re not going to get into too much detail on the subject. 4!ore information is available in our Introduction to &echnical $nalysis tutorial.5 %ut simply, technical analysts base their investments 4or, more precisely, their trades5 solely on the price and volume movements of securities. (sing charts and a number of other tools, they trade on momentum, not caring about the fundamentals. Chile it is possible to use both techni-ues in combination, one of the basic tenets of technical analysis is that the market discounts everything. $ccordingly, all news about a company already is priced into a stock, and therefore a stock2s price movements give more insight than the underlying fundamental factors of the business itself. =ollowers of the efficient market hypothesis, however, are usually in disagreement with both fundamental and technical analysts. &he efficient market hypothesis contends that it is essentially impossible to produce market:beating returns in the long run, through either fundamental or technical analysis. &he rationale for this argument is that, since the market efficiently prices all stocks on an ongoing basis, any opportunities for excess returns derived from fundamental 4or technical5 analysis would be almost immediately whittled away by the market2s many participants, making it impossible for anyone to meaningfully outperform the market over the long term.

FUNDA+ENTAL ANALYSISL Au$% t$t /e F$ctors B T'e Com#$"efore diving into a companyPs financial statements, wePre going to take a look at some of the -ualitative aspects of a company. =undamental analysis seeks to determine the intrinsic value of a companyPs stock. ut since -ualitative factors, by definition, represent aspects of a companyPs business that are difficult or impossible to -uantify, incorporating that kind of information into a

1<

pricing evaluation can be -uite difficult. @n the flip side, as wePve demonstrated, you canPt ignore the less tangible characteristics of a company. In this section we are going to highlight some of the company:specific -ualitative factors that you should be aware of. Bus "ess +o!e% +ven before an investor looks at a companyPs financial statements or does any research, one of the most important -uestions that should be asked isL Chat exactly does the company do3 &his is referred to as a companyPs business model N itPs how a company makes money. Eou can get a good overview of a companyPs business model by checking out its website or reading the first part of its 1A:Q filing 4?oteL CePll get into more detail about the 1A:Q in the financial statements chapter. =or now, just bear with us5. ;ometimes business models are easy to understand. &ake !cDonalds, for instance, which sells hamburgers, fries, soft drinks, salads and whatever other new special they are promoting at the time. ItPs a simple model, easy enough for anybody to understand. @ther times, youPd be surprised how complicated it can get. oston 'hicken Inc. is a prime example of this. ack in the early P7As its stock was the darling of Call ;treet. $t one point the companyPs '+@ bragged that they were the Rfirst new fast:food restaurant to reach O1 billion in sales since 1797R. &he problem is, they didnPt make money by selling chicken. 6ather, they made their money from royalty fees and high:interest loans to franchisees. oston 'hicken was really nothing more than a big franchisor. @n top of this, management was aggressive with how it recogni1ed its revenue. $s soon as it was revealed that all the franchisees were losing money, the house of cards collapsed and the company went bankrupt. $t the very least, you should understand the business model of any company you invest in. &he R@racle of @mahaR, Carren uffett, rarely invests in tech stocks because most of the time he doesnPt understand them. &his is not to say the technology sector is bad, but itPs not uffettPs area of expertiseD he doesnPt feel comfortable investing in this area. ;imilarly, unless you understand a companyPs business model, you donPt know what the drivers are for future growth, and you leave yourself vulnerable to being blindsided like shareholders of oston 'hicken were. Com#et t /e A!/$"t$*e 19

$nother business consideration for investors is competitive advantage. $ companyPs long:term success is driven largely by its ability to maintain a competitive advantage : and keep it. %owerful competitive advantages, such as 'oca 'olaPs brand name and !icrosoftPs domination of the personal computer operating system, create a moat around a business allowing it to keep competitors at bay and enjoy growth and profits. Chen a company can achieve competitive advantage, its shareholders can be well rewarded for decades. )arvard usiness ;chool professor !ichael %orter, distinguishes between strategic positioning and operational effectiveness. @perational effectiveness means a company is better than rivals at similar activities while competitive advantage means a company is performing better than rivals by doing different activities or performing similar activities in different ways. Investors should know that few companies are able to compete successfully for long if they are doing the same things as their competitors. %rofessor %orter argues that, in general, sustainable competitive advantage gained byL $ uni-ue competitive position 'lear tradeoffs and choices vis:S:vis competitor $ctivities tailored to the companyPs strategy $ high degree of fit across activities 4it is the activity system, not the parts that ensure sustainability5 $ high degree of operational effectiveness +$"$*eme"t Gust as an army needs a general to lead it to victory, a company relies upon management to steer it towards financial success. ;ome believe that management is the most important aspect for investing in a company. It makes sense : even the best business model is doomed if the leaders of the company fail to properly execute the plan. ;o how does an average investor go about evaluating the management of a company3 &his is one of the areas in which individuals are truly at a disadvantage compared to professional investors. Eou canPt set up a meeting with management if you want to invest a few thousand dollars. @n the other hand, if you are a fund manager interested in investing millions of dollars, there is a good chance you can schedule a face:to:face meeting with the upper brass of the firm. +very public company has a corporate information section on its website. (sually there will be a -uick biography on each executive with their employment history,

DonPt expect to find anything useful here. .etPs be honestL CePre looking for dirt, and no company is going to put negative information on its corporate website.

Chat is really interesting is the -uestion:and:answer portion of the call. &his is when the line is open for analysts to call in and ask management direct -uestions. $nswers here can be revealing about the company, but more importantly, listen for candor.

$ method of evaluating securities by relying on the assumption that market data, such as charts of price, volume, and open interest, can help predict future 4usually short:term5 market trends. (nlike fundamental analysis, the intrinsic value of the security is not considered. &echnical analysts believe that they can accurately predict the future price of a stock by looking at its historical prices and other trading variables. &echnical analysis assumes that market psychology influences trading in a way that enables predicting when a stock will rise or fall. =or that reason, many technical analysts are also market timers, who believe that technical analysis can be applied just as easily to the market as a whole as to an individual stock.

&echnical analysis is the study of a stock, or the market as a whole, strictly by using the price and volume history of a stock. &echnical analysis uses little or no information about the actual business behind the stock. &he common belief is that a stock price represents all known information about a stock. &echnical analysis is an alternative to fundamental analysis. @ur service provides a very speciali1ed type of technical analysis, performing real:time statistical analysis on all relevant market data. .ike many people we believe that changes in the fundamentals will be visible through technical analysis. A%ert T-#es &he methods used to analy1e securities and make investment decisions fall into two very broad categoriesL fundamental analysis and technical analysis. =undamental 2A

analysis involves analy1ing the characteristics of a company in order to estimate its value. &echnical analysis takes a completely different approachD it doesnPt care one bit about the RvalueR of a company or a commodity. &echnicians 4sometimes called chartists5 are only interested in the price movements in the market. Despite all the fancy and exotic tools it employs, technical analysis really just studies supply and demand in a market in an attempt to determine what direction, or trend, will continue in the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand the emotions in the market by studying the market itself, as opposed to its components. If you understand the benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can give you a new set of tools or skills that will enable you to be a better trader or investor. <'$t Is Tec'" c$% A"$%-s sC &echnical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analy1ing the statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. &echnical analysts do not attempt to measure a securityPs intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity. Gust as there are many investment styles on the fundamental side, there are also many different types of technical traders. ;ome rely on chart patterns, others use technical indicators and oscillators, and most use some combination of the two. In any case, technical analystsP exclusive use of historical price and volume data is what separates them from their fundamental counterparts. (nlike fundamental analysts, technical analysts donPt care whether a stock is undervalued : the only thing that matters is a securityPs past trading data and what information this data can provide about where the security might move in the future.

&he arithmetic average measures the central tendency. &he purpose of computing an average value for a set of observations is to obtain a single value, which is representative of all the items. &he main objective of averaging is to arrive at a single value which is a representative of the characteristics of the entire mass of data and arithmetic average or mean of a series 4usually denoted by x5 is the value obtained by dividing the sum of the values of various items in a series 4sigma x5 divided by the number of items 4?5 constituting the series. &hus, if U1, U2FFFFF..Un are the given ? observations. &hen UK U1\U2\FFF.Un ?

STANDARD DE7IATION1
&he concept of standard deviation was first suggested by Qarl %earson in 17>".it may be defined as the positive s-uare root of the arithmetic mean of the s-uares of deviations of the given observations from their arithmetic mean. In short ;.D may be defined as /6oot !ean ;-uare Deviation from !ean0

It is by far the most important and widely used measure of studying dispersions. =or a set of ? observations U1, U2FF..Un with mean U, Deviations from !eanL 4U1:U5, 4U2:U5,F.4Un:U5 !ean:s-uare deviations from !eanL K 1*? 4U1:U5 2\4U2:U5 2\FFF. \ 4Un:U5 2

CORRELATION
'orrelation is a statistical techni-ue, which measures and analyses the degree or extent to which two or more variables fluctuate with reference to one another. 'orrelation thus denotes the inter:dependence amongst variables. &he degrees are expressed by a coefficient, which ranges between N1 and \1. &he direction of change is indicated by 4\5 or 4:5 signs. &he former refers to a sympathetic movement in a same direction and the later in the opposite direction. Qarl %earson2s method of calculating coefficient 4r5 is based on covariance of the concerned variables. It was devised by Qarl %earson a great ritish iometrician. &his measure known as %earson an correlation coefficient between two variables 4series5 U and E usually denoted by [r2 is a numerical measure of linear relationship and is defined as the ratio of the covariance between U and E 4written as 'ov4U,E5 to the product of standard deviation of U and E ;ymbolically r K 'ov 4U, E5 ;D of U, E
