“…However, common cycles and trends that inflate correlations can be dealt with by describing the time behavior with autoregressive (AR) and moving average (MA) terms (Simms, Engebretson et al., 2022, Simms, Ganushkina, et al., 2022). Using these ARMA terms (as well as differencing: subtracting previous observations) methods, we have previously found correlations, while statistically significant, much lower than those seen in uncorrected lagged correlations.…”
