What does the author need to do if the residuals are not white noise?
Change the parameters until the residuals become white noise
What does the author do after seeing that the residuals are correlated?
They go back to the PACF to adjust the parameter p
What is the author's conclusion about the residuals after trying p=8?
The residuals are white noise
What does the author state about the PACF compared to the ACF for the seasonal data?
The PACF is simpler than the ACF

(3,2,0)*(1,0,0)s=4
What is the goal of improving the prediction of electricity consumption?
To reduce the penalty paid for larger deviations
What is the main purpose of the Box Jenkins methodology?
To identify ARIMA models in time series data
How can you identify a pure autoregressive model?
By considering only one PACF lag out of bounds
What does the constant term in the model represent?
A statistically significant value different from zero
What is the most appropriate way to create 95% confidence intervals for 1 step ahead point predictions?
Multiplying the standard error by 1.96
What does AR(p) stand for in the context of time series modeling?
Auto-Regressive model with p lags
Why is it important to start with a simple model in time series analysis?
To avoid overfitting and understand the data better
What is the main focus of working with time series data in operations management?
Predicting the future values of a random variable
In time series data, why is it important to give more weight to recent observations?
Patterns may fluctuate and evolve with time
What does the stationarity condition in time series data assume?
Mean and variance are constant
What is the purpose of the lag operator in transforming time series data?
To obtain the value at time t
What does strict white noise imply?
Independent data with no relationships
Why is it important to visualize time series data before applying models?
To identify trends that may not be visible in numerical data
What does a kurtosis value close to zero indicate about a dataset?
It is close to a normal distribution
What does a Shapiro test for in data analysis?
Normality of data distribution
What does a Rank test examine in data?
Independence of data points
What does having skewness and kurtosis close to zero suggest about a dataset?
The dataset is symmetric and close to normal distribution
What is the relationship between the residuals e(t) and the mean?
The residuals e(t) can be either stationary or non-stationary in the mean
If the residuals e(t) are stationary in the mean, what can be said about them?
They can be either White Noise (WN) or not White Noise (WN)
What is the meaning of a 'consistent estimator'?
The estimated parameter value gets closer to the true value as the sample size increases
What is the implication if a model is not consistent?
The model parameters are not good and cannot be trusted
What should be checked for the residuals of an OLS model?
The residuals should be independent and identically distributed (IID)
What is the purpose of accounting for temperature/weather in the regression model?
To improve the accuracy of electricity price forecasts
What is the purpose of the regression model $P(t) = a + B d(t) + e(t)$?
To model the relationship between electricity price and demand
What is the purpose of the model $e(t) = 0 + 1 e(t-1) + q(t)$?
To model the relationship between the residuals and the past residuals
What is the purpose of the combined model $P(t) = a + B d(t) + 1 (P(t-1) - a - B d(t-1)] + q(t)$?
To model the relationship between electricity price and demand, including the effect of past prices
What is the purpose of the first step mentioned in the text?
To estimate the best regression model for electricity price as a function of demand, wind production, and gas price
What is the key advantage of using the regression model with time series errors over the SARIMA model?
The regression model can incorporate the effects of temperature/weather, while the SARIMA model cannot
