This research aims to study the relationship between profitability which included gross margin operating margin net profit margin return on assets return on equity and earnings per share and price to earnings ratio and dividend yield. The data were collected from financial statements and the annual reports of the companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET100). The top three companies selected should yield a maximum registered capital of each business category from the 1st January to the 31st of December during 2012 and 2015. 20 companies were chosen. The statistics used in the data analysis were descriptive and analyzed by arithmetic mean maximum minimum Standard Deviation and Pearson Correlation Coefficients to describe the characteristics of the collected data. The results of the study revealed that profitability gained from the gross margin operating margin net profit margin return on assets and return on equity. The earnings per share ratio were related to the price to earnings ratio and dividend yield at the reliability level of 95% and 99%.

The objectives of this research are to propose a model for estimating and detecting rice yields in Thailand to investigate the factors related to the rice yields to find the trend and to construct the maps of rice yields in Thailand. A linear mixed model (LMM) including the spatial effects which follow the conditional autoregressive model (CAR) and the time effects which follow the first-order linear autoregressive (AR(1)) model is proposed. The estimated rice yields are used to construct the rice yield maps in Thailand. The dependent variables are the rice yield in each month of each province. The factors considered are rainfall average temperatures and regions. The results indicate that the factors enfluencing the rice yields are rainfall average temperatures and regions (North Northeast South East West Central region is a refrence region). The trend also effects the rice yields. The rice yeilds maps are easy for readers to identify which areas have high or low yields and easy to compare the yields among areas by looking at their different colors.

The objectives of this research were to create a model for time sereries data prices and yields of natural rubber to be more accurate prediction and to compare the proposed model with the classical time series models such as the Holt-Winters Additive Exponential smoothing model (Holt-Winters ES) and the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model (SARIMA). The proposed model was a linear mixed model (LMM) consisting with trend autoregression outliers and sesonal terms. Dummy varialbles and Fourier seasonal effects were studied. Bayesian estimation was used and the estimated prices and yields were used for prediction. The results show that the proposed model with a Fouries seasonal effect is the most appropriated comparing with the dummy seasonal effect the Holt-Winters ES and the SARIMA having the least mean absolute values (MAE) both fiting and validating parts. The proposed model with sesaonal dummy variables should be the first consideration for forecasting spatial time series with a seasonal component.

The objectives of this research are to propose an efficient and proper model that fits the cassava and rubber yields data. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) and a linear mixed model (LMM) with spatial correlation following the conditional autoregressive model (CAR) were adopted. The dependent variables are the cassava and rubber yields collected each month in every province of Thailand. The factors considered are rainfall averaged temperatures and regions. The results from GEE and LMM show that the factors influencing on the cassava and rubber yields are rainfall averaged temperature and region. Both GEE and LMM fit the correlated data. The GEE is used to explain the influence of factors on the yields in all provinces while the LMM is used to explain the influence of factors on the yields in each province.

The objectives of this research are to propose a linear mixed model (LMM) with spatial correlation for an analysis of rice yields in Thailand to estimate the rice yield in each month of all provinces in Thailand to investigate factors influencing on the rice yields and to construct the maps of rice yields. A linear mixed model (LMM) in which the spatial effects follow the conditional autoregressive model (CAR) is used. The estimated rice yields are used to construct the rice yield maps. The dependent variables are the rice yield in each month of each province. The data are secondary data at a provincial level. The factors considered are rainfall averaged temperatures and regions. The results show that the factors influencing on the rice yields are rainfall averaged temperature and region. The amount of regional effects ordering from largest to smallest values are northestern region southern region western region central region eastern region and northern region respectively. The top ten provinces and months with high yields ranking from largest to smallest values are Ubon Ratchathani in November (1328000 ton) Surin in Novermber (1070000 ton) Si Sa Ket in Novermber (1023000 ton) Buri Ram in November (939400 ton) Nakhon Ratchasima in November (907500 ton) Roi Et in Novermber (852800 ton) Chiang Rai in Novermber (769800 ton) Khon Kaen in Novermber (692800 ton) Maha Sarakham in Novermber (676200 ton) Udon Thani in Novermber (620600 ton) respectively. The rice yeilds maps are easy for readers to identify which areas have high or low yields. They are a useful tool for planning decision making and implementing plans to help rice famers to increase their rice production.
