smc.acfTest {mvdalab}

Test of the Residual Significant Multivariate Correlation Matrix for the presence of Autocorrelation

Description

This function peforms a 1st order test of the Residual Significant Multivariate Correlation Matrix in order to help determine if the smc should be performed correcting for 1st order autocorrelation.

Usage

smc.acfTest(object, ncomp = object$ncomp)

Arguments

object

an object of class mvdareg, i.e. plsFit.

ncomp

the number of components to include in the acf assessment

Details

This function computes a test for 1st order auto correlation in the smc residual matrix.

Value

The output of smc.acfTest is a list detailing the following:

variable

variable for whom the test is being performed

ACF

value of the 1st lag of the ACF

Significant

Assessment of the statistical significance of the 1st order lag
