We can add flexibility to the model by adding a quadratic term, as we did in Section 11.3. # # Use a quadratic model to fit the time series of daily prices, and use the model to generate predictions. You will have to write a version of `RunLinearModel` that runs that quadratic model, but after that you should be able to reuse code from the chapter to generate predictions. # In[44]: # In[45]: # In[46]: # In[47]: # **Exercise:** Write a definition for a class named `SerialCorrelationTest` that extends `HypothesisTest` from Section 9.2.
