QoQ differences - cycle co-movement | Pearson - linear associationTHREE-GROUP FRAMEWORK
LEADERS (positive lag)
Variables that move before DRAM prices. These are potential early-warning signals for memory cycle turns.
COINCIDENT (zero lag)
Variables that move together with DRAM prices. These confirm current cycle position but do not predict.
FOLLOWERS (negative lag)
Variables that move after DRAM prices. These respond to memory cycle changes with a delay.
Methodology: Pearson correlations on quarter-over-quarter changes. (Pearson: measures linear association). Generated by
