Sample Statistics versus Population Statistics
Population Statistics– Observations include all possible outcome– Degree of freedom = N
Sample Statistics– Observations are a representation– Degree of freedom = N-1

Excel Statistical Functions
Population Statistics– Standard deviation, variance, and covariance– STDEVP(x), VARP(x), COVAR(x,y)
Sample Statistics– Sample size: COUNT(x)– Standard deviation and variance– STDEV(x), VAR(x)– There is no Excel function for sample covariance
• Correct COVAR(x,y) for degree of freedom• Sample covariance = COVAR() * N / (N-1)
– Where N is sample size
Arithmetic Average– AVERAGE()
Correlation coefficient– CORREL(x,y)

GEOMEAN Function
Using Excel to compute geometric average return\– A2:A100 contains monthly return, r.
GEOMEAN() returns the geometric mean Three strategies:1. Convert returns to 1+r -> B2:B100Y is 1+r.
Geometric average return = GEOMEAN(B2:B100)
2. Use the monthly return, r, and enter as an array. Geometric average return = {GEOMEAN(1+ A2:A100)-1}.
3. PRODUCT() is also a useful function. Geometric average return = (PRODUCT(B2:B100)^(1/N))-1
