Finding relations between variables in time series (edit)
Revision as of 03:11, 17 December 2023
, 03:11, 17 December 2023→What to expect from the complete analysis tool
[http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations Spurious Correlations] mostly shows that if two things are trending in one direction and are checked for correlation they will show a very significant correlation. Practice effect is a subset. Another is one instance of an event increases the chances of the same event happening soon after. Economists suggest unit root.

Effects on target variable from outside known variables. In non time series this is compensated for with RCT

Types of data. [Exercised] is an event with specific occurrence moment and length while [tired] is a vaguer value user could use to try to describe feelings past 4 hours.

User without experience in statistical analysis will not be able to tell the difference between correctly computed correlations and poorly computed ones. However, a genuinely complete analysis produces graphs which should include most of the following:
