ABSTRACT
Purpose of economic processes forecasting in agriculture is more relevant and urgent in recent years with application of applied econometric methods. In represented research paper, these methods are used to forecast investment and the main agricultural industry indicators of Lvov region of Ukraine. The linear trend model, the parabolic trend model and the exponential trend model were elaborated from the period from 2000 to 2009 in this scientific study using applied statistical tool STATGRAFICS and EXCEL spreadsheets. And with assistance of these models forecast for investment on the basis of data of essential indicators of agrarian sector of the region for 2010 and 2011 was made. All models with probability р=0,95 are adequate experimental data for 2000-2009 years, that allow to make the forecast of investments and main agricultural indicators of the researched region by these models for 2010 and 2011 years. Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that, because of small amount of input data analysis of regression equations coefficients have more qualitative than quantitative influence upon resulting variable y6.

where yi (i=1,2,...,10) - regulatory or averaged values of the researched indicators; t - time.
Relevant predicted values and their estimates based on trends (1) - (15) were calculated, that are displayed in table (2). Here: ME - mean value of the error; MSE - mean square value of the error; MAE - mean absolute value of the error. It is necessary to notice that the closer the values of ME, MSE and MAE to zero, the better will be calculated forecasts value of the appropriate indicators.

Simple and multiple regression equations dependence of gross regional product (Lvov region) (y6) and financial result of general activity (agriculture) of Lvov region (y7) on influence of the studied indicators on the basis data tables (2) were elaborated.
y6= 14,64621+0,31309y8 , R2 = 0,56754; F = 10,4990; y6= 10,65241+0,06034y10 , R2 = 0,78208; F = 28,7107;
(16)
y6 = 10,74635+0,13442 y8+0,04638 yio , (18)
R2 = 0,84485; F = 19,0593;
y6 = 44,7041+0,12285 ^8-138,50257 ^9+0,02396 ^10 , (19)
R2 = 0,96301; F = 52,0693;
y6 = 26,43394+0,04147^7+0,19455 ^8-74,39491 ^9+0,02422 ^10 , (20)
R2 = 0,98242; F = 69,8539.
Value of the multiple determination coefficients R2 of the simple and multiple linear regression equations (16) - (19) give a reason to assert that all of them have a good probability or credibility, however, except equation (16), their value is greater than 0,7, and considerable part is rather close to one. Existence of the linear dependence between the resulting and factor variables also confirmed by obtained F - criteria, that with probability p = 0,95 is more greater than Ftable = 5,59, that was calculated with assistance of F - Fisher distribution.
Analysis of the simple linear regression equations (16) - (17) displays, that small positive influence on gross regional product of Lvov region y6 have foreign direct investment in agriculture of Lvov region y8 (3.46) (b8 = 0,313) and investments in capital assets (agriculture of Lvov region) y10 (3.47) (B10 = 0,06034).
Study of the regression model (18) shows slight positive influence on gross regional product of Lvov region y6 of foreign direct investment in agriculture of Lvov region y8 (b8 = 0,13442) and investments in capital assets (agriculture of Lvov region) y10 (b10 = 0,04638), in particular, while increase foreign direct investment inflow in agriculture of Lvov region at 1 mln. USD and some constant or mean investments in capital assets (agriculture of Lvov region) value y10 is expected to grow gross regional product of Lvov region y6 by an average of 0,13442 bln. UAH; moreover increase of investment in fixed assets (agriculture) of Lvov region y10 at 1 mln. UAH with an average or constant value of foreign direct investment in agriculture of Lvov region y8 will result in increment of gross regional product of Lvov region y6 in average at 0,04638 bln. UAH.
Analysis of the multiply linear regression equation (19) indicates moderate positive influence upon gross regional product of Lvov region y6 of foreign direct investment in agriculture of Lvov region y8 (b8 = 0,12285) and investments in capital assets (agriculture of Lvov region) y10 (b10 = 0,02396) and negative influence - employee quantity increase in agricultural industry of Lvov region y9 (b9 = -138,50257).
Regression coefficients' values of the multiply regression model (20) argue some slight positive impact on gross regional product of Lvov region y6 of foreign direct investment in agriculture of Lvov region y8 (b8 = 0,19455), financial results of general activity (agriculture) of Lvov region y7 (b7 = 0,04147) and investments in capital assets (agriculture) of Lvov region y10 (b10 = 0,02422), at the same time employees quantity grow in agriculture of Lvov region y9 will cause decrease of gross regional product of Lvov region (b9 = -74,3949).
Finally, one should notice, because of small amount of input sample table (2) analysis of regression equations coefficients (19) i (20) have more qualitative than quantitative influence upon resulting variable y6.
CONCLUSION
In this research linear, parabolic, and exponential trend models of investments and main agricultural indicators of Lvov region of Ukraine were presented. All the models with probability p=0,95 are adequate experimental data for 2000-2009, that permit to make the prediction of investments and main agricultural indicators of the researched region by these models for 2010 and 2011. However, it should be pointed out, because of small amount of input data analysis of regression equations coefficients have more qualitative than quantitative influence upon resulting variable y6.
