4. Martinez’s Conclusion 1 is:
选项:
A.
correct.
B.
incorrect because the mean and variance of WTI oil prices are not constant over time.
C.
incorrect because the Durbin–Watson statistic of the AR(2) model is greater than 1.75.
解释:
B is correct. There are three requirements for a time series to be covariance stationary. First, the expected value of the time series must be constant and finite in all periods. Second, the variance of the time series must be constant and finite in all periods. Third, the covariance of the time series with itself for a fixed number of periods in the past or future must be constant and finite in all periods. Martinez concludes that the mean and variance of the time series of WTI oil prices are not constant over time. Therefore, the time series is not covariance stationary.
麻烦解释一下C选项,不太懂为啥不选它
