similar to: Box.test reference correction (PR#13554)

After an RSiteSeach("Box.test") I found some discussion regarding the degrees of freedom in the computation of the Ljung-Box test using Box.test(), but did not find any posting about the proper degrees of freedom. Box.test() uses "lag=number" as the degrees of freedom. However, I believe the correct degrees of freedom should be "number-p-q" where p and q are

Dear colleagues, I am new to R and statistics so please keep that in mind. I have doubts on the df calculation of Ljung-Box test (Box.test). The function seems to use always the df=lag=m and not df=m-p-q like suggested in Ljung and Box (1978) paper (that is referenced). Do you agree with this? If so, is there an R package function that computes Ljung-Box test with the degrees of

Hello, I am using the Ljung Box test in R to compute if the resiudals of my fitted model is random or not. I am not sure though what the results mean, I have looked at various sources on the internet and have come up with contrasting explanations (mainly because these info deal with different program languages, like SAS, SPSS, etc). I know that my residuals should appropriate white noise( is

Hi all I'm using the Box-Ljung test (from within R) to test if a time-series in independently distributed. 2 questions: 1) p-value returned by Box-Ljung: IF I want to test if the time-series is independant at say 0.05 sig-level (it means that prob of erroneously accepting that the time-series is independent is 0.05 right?) --> then do I consider time-series as "independant"

Dear list members, I have 982 quotations of a given stock index and I want to run a Ljung-Box test on these data to test for autocorrelation. Later on I will estimate 8 coefficients. I do not know how many degrees of freedom should I assume in the formula for Ljung-Box test. Could anyone tell me please? Below the formula: Box.test(x, lag = ????, type = c("Ljung-Box"), fitdf = 0)

I fit a simple linear model y = bX to a data set today, and that produced 24 residuals (I have 24 data points, one for each year from 1984-2007). I would like to test the time-independence of the residuals of my model, and I was recommended by my supervisor to use the Ljung-Box test. The Box.test function in R takes 4 arguments:  x a numeric vector or univariate time series. lag the statistic

Hi All R Experts, I met with below mentioned statistics in paper "Stock Index Volatility Forecasting with High Frequency Data" by Eugenie Hol, Siem Jan Koopman http://ideas.repec.org/p/dgr/uvatin/20020068.html I would like to ask that what is "Box-Ljung portmantacau statistic based on N squared autocorrelation" ? Is it same as "Box-Ljung Statistics" of stats

two ARIMA models, both have several bars signicant in ACF and PACF plots of their residuals, but when run Ljung Box tests, both don't show any significant correlations... however, one model has p-value that is larger than the other model, based on the p-values, can I say the model with larger p-values should be better than the model with smaller p-values?

Hi! I know that there is function in fBasics package for univariate Jarque-Bera test and a funtion for univariate Ljung-Box test in stats package. But I am wondering if there is a function somewhere to do the tests for multivariate time series? Thanks, John [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I am modelling a time series with missing data. *Q1)* However, I am not sure if I should use the next *graphics* to understand my data: *a)* ACF & PACF (original series) *b)* ACF & PACF (residuals) * * *Q2)* I am using *tsdiag*, so I obtain a graphic with 3 plots: stand. residuals vs time; acf for residuals; Ljung-Box for residuals (it is wrong for residuals). I know that using

Dear All, I want to create a loop within a function r. The example follows: Box.test (lfut, lag = 1, type="Ljung") if i want to compute the Box.test for lag 1 to 10, I have to write manually change each time for different lag. So i wan to write a loop for the lag 1 to 10 and return the statistics for each lag. Is there any method to do this ? With regards, Upananda -- You may

Hi all, Can anyone clear my doubts about what conclusions to take with the following what puts of some time series tests: > adf.test(melbmax) Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test data: melbmax Dickey-Fuller = -5.4075, Lag order = 15, p-value = 0.01 alternative hypothesis: stationary Warning message: p-value smaller than printed p-value in: adf.test(melbmax)

Hi: I am trying to do a spurious regression in R but I can not find the function. Anybody used it before? The problem I have is try to do a regression with several time series. An alternative is to use the GLS function to fit the linear regression with the correlation structure AR(3) for the response (or residual). I hope the residuals after the GLS regression will be independent judged by

Hi everyone, I've got a question concerning the function Box.test for testing autocorrelation in my data. My data consist of (daily) returns of several stocks over time (first row=time, all other rows=stock returns). I intend to perform a Box-Ljung test for my returns (for each stock). Since I have about 3000 stocks in my list, I'm not able to perform the test individually for each

Dear all, I am not fluent in R and am struggling to 1) apply a lm to a weight-size dataset, thus the model has to run separately for each species, each year; 2) extract coefs, r-squared, n, etc. The data look like this: year sps cm w 2009 50 16 22 2009 50 17 42 2009 50 18 45 2009 51 15 45 2009 51 16 53 2009 51 17 73 2010 50 15 22 2010 50 16 41 2010 50 16 21 2010

I think you've badly misinterpreted the purpose of the R listserv with this request: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help says "The `main' R mailing list, for announcements about the development of R and the availability of new code, questions and answers about problems and solutions using R, enhancements and patches to the source code and documentation of R,

Ok I made Jarque-Bera test to the residuals (merv.reg$residual) library(tseries) jarque.bera.test(merv.reg$residual) X-squared = 1772.369, df = 2, p-value = < 2.2e-16 And I reject the null hypotesis (H0: merv.reg$residual are normally distributed) So I know that: 1 - merv.reg$residual aren't independently distributed (Box-Ljung test) 2 - merv.reg$residual aren't indentically
