R help - Apr 2006 - What are the differences between ACF and PACF in time seriesanalysis?

Hello Michael,

see as an online resource:
http://www.statsoft.com/textbook/sttimser.html or get hold on a time
series analysis textbook, like one of the monographies written by
Hamilton; Luetkepohl; Brockwell & Davis; Harvey or Box & Jenkins, to
name but a few.

In a nutshell, PACF 'eliminates' intermediate autocorrelations compared
to ACF, e.g. an AR(1) process will ordinarily have a slowly decaying ACF
and a single spike in the PACF at lag 1. Both are utilised in the
process of order determination in the context of the Box-Jenkins
approach for time series modelling. 

Best,
Bernhard 

Hi all,

I am desperately looking for answer to my previous question: what are
the
differences between ACF and PACF in time series and their applications?
I
got confused a lot by these two functions in R... Already having ACF,
why do
people decide to create PACF?

Thanks a lot
