Unfortunately, in order to make sure most of the windows pass the ACF test, I had to use a very large model order (e.g. more than 70). But even the model was that high, very few windows passed the portmanteau tests ( e.g. 1 out of 108 windows can pass these test).<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
