I have been reading about autocorrelation in linear models over the last couple of days, and I have to say the more I read, the more confused I get. Beyond confusion lies enlightenment, so I'm tempted to ask R-Help for guidance. Most authors are mainly worried about autocorrelation in the residuals, but some authors are also...

Hello folks, I have some data where spatial autocorrelation seems to be a serious problem, and I'm unclear on how to deal with it in R. I've tried to do my homework - read through 'The R Book,' use the online help in R, search the internet, etc. - and I still have some unanswered questions. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could...

...US states over about 25 years, and I would like to test a simple model via OLS, using this data. I know how to run OLS in R, and I think I can see how to create Panel Corrected Standard Errors using http://jackman.stanford.edu/classes/350C/pcse.r What I can't figure out is how to correct for autocorrelation over time. I have found a lot of R stuff on time series models but they all seem focused on predicting a single variable from its previous values. Can anyone explain to me how to detect and get round autocorrelation? Is there a package for panel data that I have missed? I appreciate that this...

Hi, I have collected data on trees from 5 forest plots located within the same landscape. Data within the plots are spatially autocorrelated (calculated using Moran's I). I would like to do a ANCOVA type of analysis combining these five plots, but the assumption that there is no autocorrelation in the residuals is obviously violated. Does anyone have any ideas how to incorporate these spatial effects in my analysis? I have been...

Hello, I have a matrix with the distances among sites. And I have another matrix with the presence and absence of each species in each site. I would like to test the spatial autocorrelation among sites. I have tried to use the function gearymoran of the ade4 package, but error messages keep popping up. Do you know any function for me to test the spatial autocorrelation of my data? Thanks, Paulo Branco -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Spatial-Autocorrelat...

Dear All, Would like to ask the inconsistency in the autocorrelation from R with SPSS/Minitab. I have tried a dataset x with 20 data (1-20) and ask R to give the autocorrelation of different lags using the command < acf(x, lag.max=100, type = "correlation"), However while SPSS and Minitab give the same answers (0.85 for lag1), R gives 0.3688 which...

Howdy All, I am looking for some good tutorials (books, websites, whatever) for calculating/testing for Spatial Autocorrelation using R. Specifically, I am wanting to test for autocorrelation of a number of variables measured at a set of discrete locations. Up to this point I have been exploring the "spdep" package and I can get "moran.test" to work, but I am concerned that somewhere along the lin...

.... I want to see if the two variables are correlated but need to take into account the fact that they are a time series. I have been following an example from 'The R Book' where you plot the ACF: par(mfrow=c(1,1) acf(cbind(x,y)) and this appeared to work fine, producing four graphs for the autocorrelation of x,x y,y x,y and y,x. Then the next step in the example was to plot the partial autocorrelation: acf(cbind(x,y),type="p") When i do this however three of my graphs x,x y,y and y,x contain no data, the x,y graph contains data but has no lines of significance and all four of the gr...

Hi R users, where can I find the equations used by acf function to calculate autocorrelation? I think I misunderstand acf. Doesn't acf use following equation to calculate autocorrelation? [image: R(\tau) = \frac{\operatorname{E}[(X_t - \mu)(X_{t+\tau} - \mu)]}{\sigma^2}\, ,] If it does, then the autocorrelation of a sine function should give a cosine; however, the following code g...

Hi, I am attempting to correct my models p-values due to temporal autocorrelations. It is not possible to model the correlation, so I have to make do with the p-value correction. I am feeling a bit thick here....I cannot get the autocorrelation values. What is the argument? My aim is to multiply the dependent variable autocorrelation with the independent variable autoco...

Hi R helpers, Is there a function (package?) in R available which tests "spatial autocorrelation" between points (e.g. vector layer of weather stations)? (e.g. Moran's I...) Via the archives we found out that there is a package 'spdep' which uses grid data for testing spatial autocorrelation. Thanks a lot, Jan __________________________________________________________...

Hi R-fellows, I am trying to simulate a multivariate correlated sample via the Gaussian copula method. One variable is a binary variable, that should be autocorrelated. The autocorrelation should be rho = 0.2. Furthermore, the overall probability to get either outcome of the binary variable should be 0.5. Below you can see the R code (I use for simplicity a diagonal matrix in rmvnorm even if it produces no correlated sample): "sampleCop" <- fu...

Dear all, I am currently facing a problem related to the spatial autocorrelation of a sample of stations; these stations supply weekly data for a fixed time-window during the year (namely, 4-6 months per year). For this reason I'm trying to use the R package 'spdep' (specifically Moran's I) in order to get rid of it. Does anyone know how is it possible...

Could anyone tell me whether there is an R function for removing autocorrelations from a series of observations before performing a linear or nonlinear regression analysis on them? Many thanks, Andrew Wilson

Hello everyone, I'm working on a current linear model Y = a0 + a1* X1 + ... + a7*X7 + residuals. And I know that this model presents both heteroskedasticity (tried Breusch-Pagan test and White test) and residuals autocorrelation (using Durbin Watson test). Ultimately, this model being meant to be used for predictions, I would like to be able to remove this heteroskedasticity and residuals autocorrelation. What I've done until now : - I've used the sandwich package (function vcovHAC) with the coeftest functio...

Hi, I have two sets of data for a given set of (non-lattice) locations. I would like to know whether the two are significantly different. This would be simple enough if it wasn't for the fact that the data is spatially autocorrelated. I have come across several possible solutions (including Cliff & Ord which however appears to be for gridded data), or using gls. However, they don't quite fit the bill (I think). Ideally it would simply be a modified t-test which somehow 'takes care' of the spatial autocorrela...

Hi, I have a binary (o/1 - coded) data set and want to test it's autocorrelation structure. Is that function implemented in R? Can I use the ACF - funtion with binary data? Thanks for your help, Daniel

Hi everyone, I've got a question concerning the function acf(.) in R for calculating the autocorrelation in my data. I have a table with daily returns of several stocks over time and I would like to calculate the autocorrelation for all the series (not only for one time series). How can I do this? After that I want to apply an autoregressive model based on the estimated lag in the data and f...

Hi, I am looking at the effects of two explanatory variables on chlorophyll. The data are an annual time-series (so are autocorrelated) and the relationships are non-linear. I want to account for autocorrelation in my model. The model I am trying to use is this: Library(mgcv) gam1 <-gam(Chl~s(wintersecchi)+s(SST),family=gaussian, na.action=na.omit, correlation=corAR1(form =~ Year)) the result I get is this...

Hello, I am attending a course in Computational Statistics at ETH and in one of the assignments I am asked to prove that a time series is not autocorrelated using the R function "acf". I tried out the acf function with the given data, according to what I found here: http://landshape.org/enm/options-for-acf-in-r/ this test data does not look IID but rather shows some trends so how can I then prove that it is not autocorrelated? maybe the...
