Abstract

In the present study, non-parametric and parametric tests have been proposed for autocorrelation by using studentized residuals. These two tests have been developed respectively based on Geary (1970) and Durbin – Watson (1950) test statistics. Further, a simple remedial method has been suggested to solve the problem of autocorrelation with regard to the linear regression model with first order autoregressive scheme for errors.
