[R] regression and dw

[Erin Hodgess]

Dear R People:

Suppose we have a regression model that we will call
y.lm

We run the Durbin Watson test for autocorrelation
and we find that there is positive autocorrelation,
and phi = 0.72, say.

What is our next step, please?  

Do we calculate the following
yprime_t = y_t - 0.72y_t-1,
x1prime_t = x1_t - 0.72x1_t-1,

and so on, and re-fit the linear mode?

I haven't done this in a while.  Just wanted to double check.

Thanks so much!
