statsmodels.tsa.stattools.q_stat(x, nobs)

Compute Ljung-Box Q Statistic.

Parameters:

• x (array_like) – Array of autocorrelation coefficients. Can be obtained from acf.

• nobs (int, optional) – Number of observations in the entire sample (ie., not just the length of the autocorrelation function results.

Returns:

• q-stat (ndarray) – Ljung-Box Q-statistic for autocorrelation parameters.

• p-value (ndarray) – P-value of the Q statistic.
