| Summary: | This dataset example introduces researchers to plotting an autocorrelation function (ACF) and a partial autocorrelation function (PACF) for a single time series variable. An ACF plots the average correlation between data points in a time series with lagged values of the same series. A PACF computes the average partial correlation between data points in a time series with lagged values of the same series, but controlling for the values of shorter lags. ACFs and PACFs help researchers understand the temporal dynamics of an individual time series. This example uses a subset of data from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate at a Glance website. Understanding trends in global temperature will help researchers and policy makers better understand potential climate change and plan for its impact. The sample dataset used for this example has been cleaned and organized to make this example easier to follow. Interested readers should read the full documentation for the dataset before using it for research (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/time-series/global). |
