serial correlation  

Definición

  • Serial correlation exists when successive values of a time-series process exhibit nonzero covariances. The term serial correlation is often used synonymously with autocorrelation, which refers to the more general case of correlation with self and may be either over time, as when the president's approval rating today is correlated with his approval rating yesterday (serial correlation), or across space, as when gang membership is correlated with physical distance of residence from an inner city (spatial correlation).
