This is confusing me: In AR model what determines the order; the lags or the number of independant variables?
i guess both as the lags are the independent variables
I think its just the number of independent variables. AR(1) will have one independent variable and AR§ will have p number of independent variables please correct me
a lag acts as an independent variable x (t) = b0 + b1x(t-1) + e The lagged variable x(t-1) is an independent variable
Lags are only independent if no serial correlation

Can someone explain!!!
This is great my friend. This is exacly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot

Can someone explain!!! Seasonal Lags are an exception to the AR(#) convention. Do not include them if you are counting how many lags an AR model has. For example if a monthly model is xt-1 + xt-2 +xt-12 it is an AR(2) model. Excuse the poor notation.
So are we saying that the actual lags needs to be sequential. That is xt-1 + xt-2 + xt-5 + xt-12 would actually be an AR(2) model with 2 seasonal lags?

Can someone explain!!! I know someone can word this better… the AR(number) is the number of consecutive periods going back in time …t minus 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 the number stops “counting” when you skip a period going back so t minus 1,2,3, 5,6,7,9… would be AR(3)
I think this statement is correct, rest are all BS I think its just the number of independent variables. AR(1) will have one independent variable and AR§ will have p number of independent variables please correct me
This reminds me: Do you lose an observation for each lag you add? Like if you have 25 observations, and an AR(1) with a 4th quarter lag, do you now have 23 observations?
