  • Q1. What is autocorrelation?
  • Ans. 

    Autocorrelation is a statistical concept that measures the relationship between a variable's current value and its past values.

    • Autocorrelation is the correlation of a signal with a delayed copy of itself.

    • It is used to detect patterns or trends in time series data.

    • Positive autocorrelation indicates a positive relationship between current and past values, while negative autocorrelation indicates a negative relationship.

  • Q2. Linear Regression Assumptions
  • Ans. 

    Linear regression assumptions include linearity, independence, homoscedasticity, and normality.

    • Assumption of linearity: The relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear.

    • Assumption of independence: The residuals are independent of each other.

    • Assumption of homoscedasticity: The variance of the residuals is constant across all levels of the independent variables.

    • Assumption of normality: The resid...

  • Q3. P value in simple terms
  • Ans. 

    P value is a measure used in hypothesis testing to determine the significance of the results.

    • P value is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

    • A small P value (typically ≤ 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.

    • A large P value (> 0.05) suggests weak evidence against the null hypothesis, lead...
