  2. Beta (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_(finance)

    In finance, the beta (β or market beta or beta coefficient) is a statistic that measures the expected increase or decrease of an individual stock price in proportion to movements of the stock market as a whole. Beta can be used to indicate the contribution of an individual asset to the market risk of a portfolio when it is

  3. Negative-Beta Stocks: Worth Buying? - AOL

    For individual stocks, though, negative betas are fairly rare. But out of curiosity, I turned up some of the few negative-beta stocks out there. Here's a quick look. Arena Pharmaceuticals , beta ...

  4. Standardized coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_coefficient

    In statistics, standardized (regression) coefficients, also called beta coefficients or beta weights, are the estimates resulting from a regression analysis where the underlying data have been standardized so that the variances of dependent and independent variables are equal to 1. [1]

  5. Alpha vs. beta in investing: What’s the difference? - AOL

    Beta, or the beta coefficient, measures volatility relative to the market and can be used as a risk measure. By definition, the market always has a beta of 1, so betas above 1 are considered more ...

  7. Negative binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution

    Different texts (and even different parts of this article) adopt slightly different definitions for the negative binomial distribution. They can be distinguished by whether the support starts at k = 0 or at k = r, whether p denotes the probability of a success or of a failure, and whether r represents success or failure, [1] so identifying the specific parametrization used is crucial in any ...

  8. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    Again, the optimum beta coefficients may be found by maximizing the log-likelihood function generally using numerical methods. A possible method of solution is to set the derivatives of the log-likelihood with respect to each beta coefficient equal to zero and solve for the beta coefficients:

    An estimation of the CAPM and the security market line (purple) for the Dow Jones Industrial Average over 3 years for monthly data.. In finance, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a model used to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset, to make decisions about adding assets to a well-diversified portfolio.
