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 confidence
envelopes, or those plots where only Lags 1 and 2 are outside those
envelopes.
But how should I interpret my ACF plot, where Lags 1, 7, 8 and 9, are
those outside those envelopes?
Is there any correlation structure?
Which one might that be? AR1()?
Also, I have used the plot of the empirical ACF of the normalized
residuals, but it gives exactly the same results.
Could you please help me?
Best regards
