Answer to Question 1

An autoregressive forecasting model incorporates correlations between consecutive values in a time series by using explanatory variables that are lagged values of the dependent variable. A first-order autocorrelation refers to the correlation among data values one period apart, a second-order autocorrelation refers to the correlation among data values two periods apart, and so on. Autoregressive models improve forecasting when autocorrelation is present in data. A first-order autoregressive model is:
Yi = a0 + a1Yi -1 + i
where Yi is the value of the time series in period i and i is a nonautocorrelated random error term having 0 mean and constant variance. A second-order autoregressive model is:
Yi = a0 + a1Yi -1 + a2Yi -2 + i
Additional terms may be added for higher-order models.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.
