The answer will depend on the level of statistical knowledge that you have and, unfortunately, we do not know that. The regression model is based on the assumption that the residuals [or errors] are independent and this is not true if autocorrelation is present. A simple solution is to use moving averages (MA). Other models, such as the autoregressive model (AR) or autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) can be used. Statistical software packages will include tests for the existence of autocorrelation and also applying one or more of these models to the data.

Are autocorrelation and serial correlation the same?

Yes, they are the same.


What are the implications of autocorrelation?

Autocorrelation can lead to biased parameter estimates and inflated standard errors in statistical models. It violates the assumption of independence among residuals, potentially affecting the accuracy of model predictions and hypothesis testing. Detecting and addressing autocorrelation is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of statistical analyses.

Why for a random series the autocorrelation between two observation is close to zero?

A non-zero autocorrelation implies that any element in the sequence is affected by earlier values in the sequence. That, clearly violates the basic concept of randomness - where it is required that what went before has no effect WHATSOEVER in what comes next.

What is an autocorrelator?

An autocorrelator is a device which modifies a signal with a delayed copy of itself in order to detect any periodic signal hidden in the noise.


What is heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation of the error term?

A sequence of variables in which each variable has a different variance. Heteroscedastics may be used to measure the margin of the error between predicted and actual data.
