240 Chapter 7 Multivariate Time Series<br />

Figure 7-9<br />

The sample correlations<br />

of the whitened series<br />

ˆWt+h,1 and ˆWt2 of<br />

Example 7.3.2, showing<br />

the bounds ±1.96n −1/2 .<br />

<br />

ˆWt1 and ˆWt2 with sample variances .0779 and 1.754, respectively. This bivariate<br />

series is contained in the file E732.TSM.<br />

The sample auto- and cross-correlations of {Dt1} and {Dt2} were shown in Figure<br />

7.6. Without taking into account the autocorrelations, it is not possible to draw any<br />

conclusions about the dependence between the two component series from the crosscorrelations.<br />

<br />

Examination<br />

<br />

of the sample cross-correlation function of the whitened series<br />

ˆWt1 and ˆWt2 , on the other hand, is much more informative. From Figure 7.9<br />

it is apparent that there is one large-sample cross-correlation (between ˆWt+3,2 and<br />

ˆWt,1), while the others are all between ±1.96n−1/2 .<br />

If <br />

ˆWt1 and ˆWt2 are assumed to be jointly Gaussian, Corollary 7.3.1 indicates<br />

the compatibility of the cross-correlations with a model for which<br />

and<br />

ρ12(h) 0, h −3.<br />

The value ˆρ12(−3) .969 suggests the model<br />

ˆWt2 4.74 ˆWt−3,1 + Nt, (7.3.2)<br />

<br />

and ˆWt1 <br />

,<br />

where the stationary noise {Nt} has small variance compared with ˆWt2<br />

and the coefficient 4.74 is the square root of the ratio of sample variances of ˆWt2
