AppliedMultiple choice
A series’ ACF decays geometrically while its PACF is significant at lags one and two and near zero beyond. Which model does that suggest?
- AMA(2), since two partial autocorrelations are significant
- BAR(2)
- CA random walk, because the ACF decays slowly
- DWhite noise, because the PACF is zero at most lags
