How do you interpret an autocorrelation graph?
Autocorrelation measures the relationship between a variable's current value and its past values. > An autocorrelation of +1 represents a perfect positive correlation, while an autocorrelation of negative 1 represents a perfect negative correlation.
How to interpret ACF?
The ACF shows the correlation between the time series and its own lagged values. It represents a correlation coefficient between the series and its past values. For instance, ACF at lag 3 is calculated as the correlation between the series (Yt) and the same series lagged by 3 time periods (Yt-3).
What does the autocorrelation function tell you?
The autocorrelation function is a statistical representation used to analyze the degree of similarity between a time series and a lagged version of itself. This function allows the analyst to compare the current value of a data set to its past value.
