This paper presents adjusted range-based self-normalized tests for the autocorrelation function (ACF) in time series, which is crucial for understanding the dependence structure and making reliable statistical inferences. Our approach offers improved performance, especially when testing for the presence of first-order ACF. We demonstrate the efficacy of these tests through simulations and apply them to analyze COVID-19 case counts in Beijing. The results confirm the robustness of our methods, promising significant advancements in the detection of temporal dependence in complex data settings.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
