Recall that differencing looks at the difference between the value of a time series at a certain point in time and its preceding value. First, our hegy command allows for the use of quarterly and monthly. One way to characterize a stationary time series is by the autocorrelation function. Determining the stationarity of a time series is a key step before embarking on any analysis. If your data contains several data columns, detrend treats each data column separately. Since timeseries are ordered in time their position relative to the other observations must be maintained.
A trend is a continued increase or decrease in the series over time. As you have seen in the previous exercise, differencing is generally good for removing trend from time series data.
