Different Tests

[Shreya Sinha]

Dear Neeraj Sir and other group members,

What is the difference between Ljung box, ADF , Durbin Watson , McNemar Test?

[Neeraj Kaushik]

Durbin-Watson test: A test used in regression analysis to detect the presence of first-order autocorrelation in the residuals.
McNemar's test: A non-parametric test for paired nominal data, often used to determine if there's a significant change in the proportion of responses between two related groups.

Hello,

Ljung box: This statistical test is applied to assess autocorrelations in time series data, particularly within the residuals. Its primary purpose is to determine whether a series can be classified as white noise. While it serves a role similar to the Durbin–Watson test, the key difference is that the Durbin–Watson test is mainly used in regression analysis, whereas this test is specifically designed for time series data.

ADF: This is Augmented Dickey-Fuller test which is used in time series data to determine if the time series is stationary or not.

Regards
