Question
To test for covariance-stationarity in the data, Johnson would most likely use a:
Answer Choices:
A. Durbin-Watson test
B. t-test
C. Dickey-Fuller test
Explanation
The Dickey-Fuller test for unit roots could be used to test whether the data is covariance
non-stationarity. The Durbin-Watson test is used for detecting serial correlation in the
residuals of trend models but cannot be used in AR models. A t-test is used to test for
residual autocorrelation in AR models.
