Partial Autocorrelation Function
PACF: The Partial Autocorrelation at the given lag. The PACF will vary between -1 and +1, with values near ±1 indicating stronger correlation. The PACF removes the effect of shorter lag autocorrelation from the correlation estimate at longer lags. This estimate is only valid to one decimal place.
