-values are reported in parentheses. SD represents the standard deviation. J–B represents the Jarque–Bera test in which a goodness-of-fit test is performed for examining whether the time series follows a normal distribution [30]. Q (5) and Q (10) are the statistics of the Ljung–Box test [31] in which there is a serial autocorrelation for the series up to fifth and tenth orders. ADF represents the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) test with a null hypothesis of existence of autocorrelation in the sample series [32].
