INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND In this study we would learn that set theories is not just a mathematical concept or a lesson that is just taught in school but a theory that is helpful in other fields. This study would also find ways in order to help our community in a way that we can use these theories to help and to maximize the use of this in other fields. Theoretically set theories has different applications.Here are few of some examples that set theories would be helpful in‚ like formulating

Chapter 2 Regression Analysis and Forecasting Models A forecast is merely a prediction about the future values of data. However‚ most extrapolative model forecasts assume that the past is a proxy for the future. That is‚ the economic data for the 2012–2020 period will be driven by the same variables as was the case for the 2000–2011 period‚ or the 2007–2011 period. There are many traditional models for forecasting: exponential smoothing‚ regression‚ time series‚ and composite model forecasts
