Dear all, I have one Model (M3) fitted using the lme package, and I have checked the correlation structure of within-group errors using plot(ACF (M3,maxLag=10),alpha=0.05) But now I am not sure how to interpret this plot for the empirical autocorrelation function. The problem is that I am used to see/interpret diagrams in which all the autocorrelation Lags, except lag-1, are inside the

Hi R-sters, Just wondering what I might be doing wrong. I'm trying to fit a multiple linear regression model, and being ever mindful about the possibilities of autocorrelation in the errors (it's a time series), the errors appear to follow an AR1 process (ar(ts(glsfit$residuals)) selected order 1). So, when I go back and try to do the simultaneous regression and error fit with gls,

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 gives a

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

R: Is there an easy way to get the acf and pacf for an irregular times series? That is, the acf and pacf with lag lengths that are in units of time, not observation number.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the acf() function to calculate the autocorrelation of each column in a matrix. The trouble is that I can only seem to get the function to work if I extract the data in the column into a separate matrix and then apply the acf() function to this column. I have something like this: acf(mat,lag.max=10,na.action=na.pass) ...but I would really like to apply the

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

Dear R list As suggested by Prof Brian Ripley, I have tried to read acf literature. The main problem is I am not the statistician and hence have some problem in understanding the concepts immediately. I came across one literature (http://www.stat.nus.edu.sg/~staxyc/REG32.pdf) on auto-correlation giving the methodology. As per that literature, the auto-correlation is arrived at as per following.

Hi List, I'm trying to calculate the autocorrelation coefficients for a time series using acf at various lags. This is working well, and I can get the coefficients without any trouble. However, I don't seem to be able to obtain the significance of these coefficients from the returned acf object, largely because I don't know where I might find them. It's clear that the acf

When I run the "acf()" function using the "acf(ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths))" example, the "acf()" function calls the "acf.plot()" function to generate this plot... http://members.cox.net/ddebarr/images/acf_example.png The plot in the lower right-hand corner is labeled "fdeaths & mdeaths", but the negative lags appear to belong to "mdeaths

Hi, I noticed that whenever I ran acf or pacf, the plot generated by R always includes two horizontal blue doted lines. Furthermore, these two lines are not documented in the acf documentation. I don't know what they are for, but it seems that they are important. Could someone tell me what they are and how are they calculated? Thanks, -- Tom [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, I have R 0.64.2.

Hello r-help, I have a couple of time-series of different length and I would like to produce a simple overview plot showing the autocorrelation functions of the series. The time-series are stored in a dataframe like this: > test.data item year value 1 xxx 1961 -1.09 2 xxx 1962 0.21 3 xxx 1963 -0.81 [trimmed] 8

Hi R, I have doubt. >x= c(4,5,6,3,2,4,5) >acf(x,plot=F,lag.max=1) Autocorrelations of series 'x', by lag 0 1 1.000 0.182 But if I actually calculate the autocorrelation at lag1 I get, >cor(x[-1],x[-length(x)]) [1] 0.1921538 Even in excel I get 0.1921538 value. So, I want to know what the 'acf' function is calculating here....

Hi helpers, can you help me in plotting acf and pacf functions in R. I am using the code acf(variable name) but it is not working. Expecting your reply.

Hi, I'm plotting 5 autocorrelation plots on one page. Using par(mfrow=c(3,2)) everything comes out fine. However, for each plot, it prints a title on top of each plot that says Series followed by the variable name used in the plot. I want to suppress those titles, but I also want a general figure title on the bottom of the page. I've looked at the Murrell book as well as the acf

I need to modify the graph of the autocorrelation. I tried to do it through plot.acf but with no success. 1. I would like to get rid of the lag zero 2.
