Hi all, I was running the adf test in R.
CODE 1: adf.test(data$LOSS) Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test data: data$LOSS Dickey-Fuller = -1.9864, Lag order = 2, p-value = 0.5775 alternative hypothesis: stationary CODE 2: adf.test(diff(diff(data$LOSS))) Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test data: diff(diff(data$LOSS)) Dickey-Fuller = -6.9287, Lag order = 2, p-value = 0.01 alternative hypothesis: stationary Is my interpretation correct: The original data( in code 1) is not stationary the twice differenced data (in code 2) is *stationary* and the order of the corresponding ARMA(p,q) model are *p=2* (as lag order in the output is 2) and *q=0*;.i.e. the *AR coefficients for X(t-1) and X(t-2) are significant*, while those of X(t-3) onwards are insignificant. Appreciate your help. Thanks, Preetam -- Preetam Pal (+91)-9432212774 M-Stat 2nd Year, Room No. N-114 Statistics Division, C.V.Raman Hall Indian Statistical Institute, B.H.O.S. Kolkata.
