"Angel, I would love to take a time series course with you ! Thanks again...one simple minded question.....you give the lag as Yt and Yt+1 in your write up obviously i can write this as between Yt and Yt-1 with no loss of rigor. C"
"Angel, Excellent thank you very much....one question how does one determine if the model is any good viz a viz the actual data? Thanks again Chuck"
"angel, 3 follow on questions: 1. in the first equation .2 Ybar=....where does the .2 come from and where does it go in subsequent equations? 2. do we assume that mu is a normal distribution and therefore the Var is 0 \3. why does n^2 not show up in the latewr equations .2"
