b describe factors that determine whether a linear or a log-linear trend should be used with a particular time series, and evaluate limitations of trend models;

c explain the requirement for a time series to be covariance stationary, and describe the significance of a series that is not stationary;

0  cards
d describe the structure of an autoregressive (AR) model of order p, and calculate one- and two-period- ahead forecasts given the estimated coefficients;

0  cards
e explain how autocorrelations of the residuals can be used to test whether the autoregressive model fits the time series;

f explain mean reversion, and calculate a mean-reverting level;

g contrast in-sample and out-of- sample forecasts, and compare the forecasting accuracy of different time-series models based on the root mean squared error criterion;

h explain the instability of coefficients of time-series models;

i describe characteristics of random walk processes, and contrast them to covariance stationary processes;

0  cards
j describe implications of unit roots for time-series analysis, explain when unit roots are likely to occur and how to test for them, and demonstrate how a time series with a unit root can be transformed so it can be analyzed with an AR model;

0  cards
k describe the steps of the unit root test for nonstationarity, and explain the relation of the test to autoregressive time-series models;

0  cards
l explain how to test and correct for seasonality in a time-series model, and calculate and interpret a forecasted value using an AR model with a seasonal lag;

0  cards
m explain autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH), and describe how ARCH models can be applied to predict the variance of a time series;

0  cards
n explain how time-series variables should be analyzed for nonstationarity and/or cointegration before use in a linear regression;
