Session 3 - Reading 11 - Standard deviation of forecasts

Hey everybody,

Hope the revisions are going on schedule !

Just a quick question: I am currently reviewing the Quantitative Method section, and when we’re asked to compute confidence intervals for forecasts based on a regression (like EOC questions 9 and 10 in reading 11 for exemple), should we expect to get the standard error of forecasts at the exam ? Or do we have to learn the formula to compute it ourself ?

Because these two questions I used as an example require the formula to complete them, but they do not seem like the kind of formula that the CFA institute would define as compulsory !

Any thoughts ?

Thanks!

I’m learning it. It is required to be calculated in a blue box question. everything is fair game.
