Can you use t test on time series?
While t-test could be used on time series data, we might get overoptimistic inferences since the residuals might still have autocorrelation each other, thus violates independence assumption. Alas, it is more suitable to use causal impact analysis.
What is null hypothesis in time series?
The Null-hypothesis for the test is that the time series is not stationary. So if the test statistic is less than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and say that the series is stationary.
What are the 5 steps of hypothesis testing in order?
Step 1: Specify the Null Hypothesis.
Why do we use one sample t-test?
The one-sample t-test is a statistical hypothesis test used to determine whether an unknown population mean is different from a specific value.
What is chi square test for trend?
The Chi Square for Trend function calculates the odds ratio, chi square for linear trend, and p-value statistics based on the response to an exposure score and whether the patient has become ill. The exposure score is a measured outcome from a study that states the level of exposure the patient received.
What is the formula for hypothesis testing?
Using the sample data and assuming the null hypothesis is true, calculate the value of the test statistic. Again, to conduct the hypothesis test for the population mean μ, we use the t-statistic t ∗ = x ¯ − μ s / n which follows a t-distribution with n – 1 degrees of freedom.
How can you tell if two sets are statistically different?
A t-test tells you whether the difference between two sample means is “statistically significant” – not whether the two means are statistically different. A t-score with a p-value larger than 0.05 just states that the difference found is not “statistically significant”.
When to reject the null hypothesis for a time series?
The Null-hypothesis for the test is that the time series is not stationary. So if the test statistic is less than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and say that the series is stationary. After performing the Dickey Fuller test, at a confidence level of 95%, we reject the null hypothesis.
Can you test hypothesis for trend and seasonality?
However, if you (1) do not have a hypothesis to begin with and (2) take a look at the data to identify the possible shape of the trend and/or the seasonal component and then (3) specify a model allowing for this particular shape, then you will quite likely reject the null of absence of the shape.
How to test hypothesis before seeing the data?
To get a fair result you would need to formulate a hypothesis before you see the data. For example, H 0: there is a linear trend. Then you would build a model for the data including a linear trend and test whether the corresponding coefficient is zero or not.
How to check if a time series is stationary?
Before we can find which Autoregressive (AR) and Moving Average (MA) parameter to choose, we have to test whether the data is stationary or not. We can use the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) t-statistic test to do this. ADF test is a test to check whether the series has a unit root or not. If it exists, the series has a linear trend.
