Question:
Where do I use the differencing function to obtain a stationary time series?
Answer:
Many time series (e.g., financial prices time series) exhibit random walk (unit-root) phenomena, causing the time series to exhibit upward/downward trends over time. Using a difference (DIFF(.)) function on this time series extracts the unit root and leaves a stationary process suitable for further analysis and modeling.
