Although detailed statistical analyses are beyond the scope of this book, there are some important general principles about organizing and analyzing data. Hypotheses have to be phrased in such a way that they can be tested and a level of ‘significance’ set for the outcome. This chapter presents a brief review of the most frequently used statistical tests that are available, including a discussion of parametric and non-parametric tests. The presentation of results and writing the project report or paper is an important part of any project.Less

Methods of testing for a unit root in an observed series are described in this chapter. Both parametric regression tests and non‐parametric adjustments to these test statistics are considered, and tables of critical values for commonly used tests are given. The chapter also uses functionals of Wiener processes to describe the asymptotic distributions of important test statistics.Less
