So, I am doing my project on temperature. I have the autocorrelations for 60 lags, and 5459 data points. My problem is when I calculate Q I am getting a value of (5459)*sum(autocorrelations^2) = 4700. From what I can tell, 95% confidence would be < 79.08. Obviously well out of my range.
My autocorrelations are taken from the stationary process of the deseasonalized data. No single one is over 2/sqrt(T). I just need help with what I'm doing wrong. I don't know if my calculated Q is wrong (my guess) or am I reading the chi-square table wrong? Both? Is T not the # of points but rather the number of lags? Thanks!
