匯率預測方法甚多，從簡易的方法論到神經網絡預測法，乃至於基因演算法、、無一不自成格局。然而，由於影響匯率變動的因素太多，精確的預測模型往往趕不上匯率的變動速度。一本交易員對匯率預測的快速趨勢要求，採用EViews直線迴歸分析，簡易的將數據整理後載入預測模型，實證匯率可以快速測得準確的趨勢，藉此以規避市場匯率風險。 文中並記述三次預測時所輸入的經濟數據的整理方式不同，卻不影響匯率趨勢預測的結果。 簡單快速的在眾多經濟數據中找出具影響力的因子並對匯率趨勢預測做出結果為市場所需；當匯率趨勢確立，則需借重市場技術分析對於支撐點及壓力點的共同看法以確立避險點。 此論文一本EMBA對理論及實務的並重，將線性迴歸理論配合Eviews模型的簡易運用，在變異詭譎的外匯市場中，快速探誘市場的方向。

Vzhledem k existenci obrovského množství statistických programů vzniká docela logická otázka: který z nich je lepší. Samozřejmě tady záleží na konkrétní zkoumané úloze. V této práci se budu věnovat analýze časových řad. Vzhledem k tomu, že na trhu jsou jak placené tak i neplacené programy bude třeba se podívat na několik představitelů obou skupin. Závěrem své práce ohodnotím tyto softwary podle několika kritérii. Posuzovat budu z hlediska potřeb studenta Vysoké Školy Ekonomické. Studenti VŠE tady mají možnost pracovat především se Statgraphicsem a GiveWinem, další dva softwary Matrixer a Gretl jsou zprostředkovány jako freeware a jsou dostupné zdarma na internetu, dále budu porovnávat i placené programy EViews a Time Series Modelling, s cílem posoudit jestli se vyplatí koupit licenci na tyto softwary nebo je lepší použít školní program anebo bude lepší stáhnout freeware. Rozbor programu provedu pomocí tři aspektů: obecný popis programů, příkladu ARIMA a příkladu SARIMA.

The aim of my master thesis is to analyze the issue of insurance frauds. Theoretical part of the thesis familiarizes readers with the term insurance fraud, legislative in the Czech Republic, types of insurance frauds as well as with the ways to fight against insurance frauds. Practical part mainly covers the statistical and econometrical analysis of the size of detected insurance frauds in 2007-2014. Using econometrical analysis program Eviews is chosen the most suitable model for a time series and designed forecasts for years 2015 and 2016. The end of the thesis itself concludes economical interpretation of empirically measured and forecasted values.

All over the world, the level of poverty is increasing. In South Africa it is mainly concentrated in rural areas and differs significantly from whether considering race, sex, provinces or community areas. This dissertation studies the relationship between poverty and inflation in Sharpeville by determining the impact of rising prices on the poor households in Sharpeville. The study focuses on three areas, namely the theoretical background of poverty and inflation, the impact of rising prices in expenditure patterns and the relationship to poverty. There are different approaches in defining poverty. Poverty can either be absolute or relative. For the purpose of this study, poverty is defined as absolute. Thus the study defines individuals as poor due to their inability to attain a minimum material standard of living. This minimal standard of living is normally referred to as the poverty line. Inflation may be defined in different ways. For the purpose of this dissertation, inflation is defined as the rise in the general price levels over a specific period of time. Changes in expenditure patterns are caused by an increase in inflation. This study uses the regression model to determine the impact of inflation on poverty in Sharpeville. According to the macroeconomic theory’s implication, the same level of inflation on the same basket of commodities has a different level of effect on each household. Accordingly, in this study, all households are assumed to be faced with the same inflation rate. Household size is positively related to poverty gap squared. This means that the more members there were in a household in Sharpeville the poorer they were. Households with the highest number of members were poorer than those with few members. Statistically, the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between household size and poverty gap is rejected, even at the 1% level of significance. EXPINFL is negatively related to poverty gap. The correlation matrix confirms the results in the regression analysis. The correlation coefficient between The relationship between poverty and inflation in Sharpeville Page EXPINFL and PGAP is -0.34467. Although it is relatively weak, the fact that there is a negative correlation confirms that inflation negatively affects poverty. Finally, the study recommends that government provides more job opportunities for the individuals without any source of income in Sharpeville. The government could also provide business funding to the unemployed individuals to enable them to start their own businesses. This would enable those individuals to create additional employment. In addition, measures should be introduced to determine the effect of inflation on those households who are not employed (that is, not receiving any form of income, not even through any form of grant), but do benefit from some form of feeding scheme administered by either government or non-profit organisations. / MCom, Economics, North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2012
