Answer to Question 1

An autoregressive forecasting model incorporates correlations between consecutive values in a time series by using explanatory variables that are lagged values of the dependent variable. A first-order autocorrelation refers to the correlation among data values one period apart, a second-order autocorrelation refers to the correlation among data values two periods apart, and so on. Autoregressive models improve forecasting when autocorrelation is present in data. A first-order autoregressive model is:
Yi = a0 + a1Yi -1 + i
where Yi is the value of the time series in period i and i is a nonautocorrelated random error term having 0 mean and constant variance. A second-order autoregressive model is:
Yi = a0 + a1Yi -1 + a2Yi -2 + i
Additional terms may be added for higher-order models.
