Hi all, I am trying to fit an AR(p) model to my variable res
ar=ar(res, method="yule-walker") The output is : Order selected 0 sigma^2 estimated as 5.87e-06 Does this mean that the optimum value of p is 0? But when I go for summary(ar), I get the following: order 1 -none- numeric ar 0 -none- numeric var.pred 1 -none- numeric x.mean 1 -none- numeric aic 13 -none- numeric n.used 1 -none- numeric order.max 1 -none- numeric partialacf 12 -none- numeric resid 17 -none- numeric method 1 -none- character series 1 -none- character frequency 1 -none- numeric call 2 -none- call The confusion is : in the 1st line, order=1 is being shown, and ar is being shown as 0 in the 2nd line. This means that the variable res is AR with order 1 , but coefficient of the lag variable is 0. I am confused! In this context, how do I interpret the initial output which said "order selected 0". Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Preetam -- Preetam Pal (+91)-9432212774 M-Stat 2nd Year, Room No. N-114 Statistics Division, C.V.Raman Hall Indian Statistical Institute, B.H.O.S. Kolkata.
