The Cochrane-Orcutt Procedure
The Cochrane-Orcutt procedure:



One note: In step 5 when it says to use the estimated betas obtained in step 4 in equation (9.5), this means to go back to the origanal equation (9.5) and find ut = Yt - b1 - b2X2t - ... - bkXkt where the b's are the estimated betas using the transformed ("starred") variables in step 4.
How do you get the coefficients and intercept for the new relation in terms of the old variables?
Let me explain. Suppose you have a simple linear regression between Y and X:
Y = b0 + b1 X
You then calculate rho^ for the residuals, transform the variables, regress, find rho^ again, etc., until you have:
Y* = b*0 + b1* X*
How do you find b0 and b1 valuables so that the equation can be expressed in terms of the original Y and X?

"Values," not "valuables." It's early. I'm not really awake yet.
