Derivation of the Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) for an AR(p) Process, demonstrating its Cut-off Property
Students often confuse PACF with ACF. While ACF measures total correlation, PACF isolates the *direct* effect, net of intermediate influences. Misinterpreting sample PACF values beyond as small but significant rather than statistically zero is a common pitfall.
