Ask the Tutor ACCA PM

Paper PM

JJohn4y ago
Hello SIR. I have heard that we can be tested on time series analysis and also on regression and correlation? I could not find any lecture on this topic. How do I prepare for that? Secondly, can we be tested on the big data pyramid? Please explain what does it say?

Time series analysis and correlation and regression are examinable to the same level as was examined in Paper MA. There are full lecture Paper MA lectures on both. It is possible (but less likely) that you could be examined on the Big Data Pyramid. It is covered in full in the technical article on the ACCA website (https://www.accaglobal.com/sg/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f5/technical-articles/what-is-big-data.html )

Thanks for the link on big data. It was helpful. I only found one video on time series analysis (chapter 20) in F2 lectures but I am afraid I did not find anything like correlation and regression. Could you please send me the link to that lecture (please state which chapter of F2 notes has correlation and regression)? Please tell me whether the examples of the F2 notes would be enough for the preparation of time series and correlation and regression for paper PM?

Chapter 19 of the Paper MA notes and lectures covers correlation and regression. The lectures and examples cover everything needed for Paper PM. Obviously as with all the topics it is important to practice every question in your Revision Kit as well.
