I. residuals from the fitted model.
II. in-sample forecast errors.
III. out-of sample forecast errors.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.

Learning Outcome Statements

describe the structure of an autoregressive (AR) model of order p and calculate one- and two-period-ahead forecasts given the estimated coefficients;

explain how autocorrelations of the residuals can be used to test whether the autoregressive model fits the time series;

explain mean reversion and calculate a mean-reverting level;

contrast in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts and compare the forecasting accuracy of different time-series models based on the root mean squared error criterion;
