_____ makes use of the least-square method to estimate the value of future outcomes,yt₊K,if a leading factor xt can be found.
A)Exponential smoothing
B)Delphi method
C)Weighted moving average
D)Regression analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regression analysis is the statistical method that utilizes the least-square method to estimate the value of future outcomes, yt+K, based on the leading factor xt. Other methods such as exponential smoothing, Delphi method, and weighted moving average are not explicitly based on the least-square method for estimating future outcomes.
