　　Which of the following statements about age-weighting is most accurate?
　　A.     The age-weighting procedure incorporates estimates from GARCH models.
　　B.     If the decay factor in the model is close to 1, there is persistence within the data set.
　　C.     When using this approach, the weight assigned on day I is equal to:
　　D.     The number of observations should at least exceed 250.
　　Answer: B
　　If the intensity parameter (i.e., decay factor) is close to 1, there will be persistence (i.e., slow decay) in the estimate. The * for the weight on day i has i in the exponent when it should be n. While a large sample size is generally preferred, some of the data may no longer be representative in a large sample.
