Non-Seasonal Data Set
USD/Euro Exchange Rate Non-Seasonal No apparent trend 1999-2018 Monthly data
Lag Plot No Autocorrelation Lag 1 shows correlation, but as the lags get higher there is no autocorrelation
Acf Plot Autocorrelation significantly different from zero Lower autocorrelation in upper lags
