Serial correlation, also known as
autocorrelation, describes the extent to which the result in one period of a time series is related to the result in the next period. A time series with high serial correlation is said to be very predictable from one period to the next. If the serial correlation is low (or near zero), the time series is considered to be much less predictable. For more information about serial correlation, see the book
Ibbotson SBBI
published by Morningstar.
