What is the correct order of autoregressive modeling steps? Test the significance of the autoregressive model with order p (Ap). If the null hypothesis is rejected, this model is selected; if the null hypothesis is NOT rejected, decrease p by 1 and repeat. Test the significance of the autoregressive model with order p (Ap). If the null hypothesis is NOT rejected, this model is selected; if the null hypothesis is rejected, decrease p by 1 and repeat. Form a series of “lagged predictor” variables Yi-1 , Yi-2, … ,Yi-p Use Excel to run regression model using all p variables. Choose p.
