Is Autocorrelation of White Noise Zero?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The autocorrelation of univariate white noise is definitively zero. This conclusion is established in statistical theory, confirming that white noise exhibits no correlation between its values at different time points. Understanding this concept is crucial for analyzing time series data and ensuring accurate statistical modeling.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of time series analysis
  • Familiarity with statistical concepts of autocorrelation
  • Knowledge of univariate data
  • Introduction to white noise characteristics
NEXT STEPS

I am really new to this and so I am trying to understand some basic stuff here.

Autocorrelation of a univariate white noise is 0.

Am I correct?
