FootnoteThe lag chart provides a visual representation of the coefficients assigned to lagged variables in the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model. Each line on the chart corresponds to the coefficients associated with specific variables (”Area,” ”CO2,” ”Precipitation,” ”Temp,” ”Water,” and ”Wheat”) at different lag positions. The positive or negative values on the chart indicate the strength and direction of the relationship between a variable and its lagged counterpart. Lags of -1 and 1 represent the immediate past and future, respectively. This chart is a valuable tool for comprehending the temporal dynamics and intricate interdependencies among the variables incorporated into the forecasting model.
