摘要:
SummaryThe context and problems of election night forecasting are described. The linear models proposed attempt to reduce parameterization by splitting constituencies into three types—special, ″three‐party“ and ”two‐party“. The analysis is based on a modified ridge regression approach. The election night February 1974 performance of the method as implemented for the BBC is described. Some results concerning univariate and multivariate ridge regression are given.

摘要:
SummaryInformation from surveys of a sample of 386 households was used to investigate the extent to which information on the attitudes, expectations and socio‐economic status of those households could be used to predict their expenditures on consumer durables. Tests using difference of means, discriminant analysis and multiple regression were used. The discriminant analysis achieved high classificatory performance and it was argued that it may be more important to predict whether a household will decide to make a purchase of a consumer durable at all rather than to attempt to predict the actual level of expenditure once a purchase has been decided upon. A number of variables were found to have predictive significance across the different types of analysis carried out. Many of these were concerned with consumer attitudes and expectations and it was suggested that attention should be paid particularly to obtaining indications of expected household liquidity and the willingness to devote financial resources to the purchase of consumer durables.

摘要:
This note summarizes the material which is available from “Project on Factors Influencing Choice of Higher Education”, which was carried out during the period 1965‐70 from the Mathematics department of the University of Essex, in association with the Royal Statistical Society on a research grant from the Department of Education and Science. It is prompted by the completion of a major report in 1972 which became available around Easter 1973.

摘要:
SummaryThe usual form of retail price index implicitly gives each household a weight proportional to its total expenditure. An index of this form is appropriate, e.g. for deflating the total wage‐bill. But the retail price index is more frequently used as a measure of price changes applying on average to a group of families or a class of wage‐earners. For such purposes, it is appropriate to estimate the average change by using “democratic” weights, i.e. the same weight for every household, or weights proportional to equivalence scale values to reflect the needs of different‐sized families.
