Xt = α + βt + t ,
mt = α + βt
I Filtering
Having estimated the trend, we can look at the local
fluctuations by examing
Res(xt ) = residual from
P smoothed value
= xt − yt = sr =−q br xt+r .
P+∞
I Convolution: ck = r =−∞ ar bk−r
ck = ar ? bj
P
i −x̄)(yi −ȳ )
I Sample autocorrelation coefficients r = √(xP 2 2 (yi −ȳ )
I Autocorrelation coefficient or serial correlation coefficient
PN−k
(xt − x̄)(xt+k − x̄)
rk = t=1PN

t=1 (xt − x̄)
1 PN−k
I Autocovariance ck = N t=1 (xt − x̄)(xt+k − x̄). Then,
rk = ck /c0
I Correlogram: The plot of sample autocorrelation coefficients
rk against k for k = 0, 1, ..., M.

y <- sin(x)
plot(y)
plot(y,type=’l’)
