The theoretical partial autocorrelation function of a stationary time series can be calculated by using the Durbin–Levinson Algorithm:<math display="block">\phi_{n,n} = \frac{\rho(n) - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \phi_{n-1, k} \rho(n - k)}{1 - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \phi_{n-1, k} \rho(k) }</math>where <math>\phi_{n,k} = \phi_{n-1, k} - \phi_{n,n} \phi_{n-1,n-k}</math> for <math>1 \leq k \leq n - 1</math> and <math>\rho(n)</math> is the autocorrelation function.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Durbin |first=J. |date=1960 |title=The Fitting of Time-Series Models |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1401322 |journal=Revue de l'Institut International de Statistique / Review of the International Statistical Institute |volume=28 |issue=3 |pages=233–244 |doi=10.2307/1401322 |jstor=1401322 |issn=0373-1138|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Shumway |first1=Robert H. |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-52452-8 |title=Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples |last2=Stoffer |first2=David S. |date=2017 |publisher=Springer International Publishing |isbn=978-3-319-52451-1 |series=Springer Texts in Statistics |___location=Cham |pages=103–104 |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-3-319-52452-8}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Enders |first=Walter |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52387978 |title=Applied econometric time series |date=2004 |publisher=J.

Partial autocorrelation is a commonly used tool for identifying the order of an autoregressive model.<ref name=":0" /> As previously mentioned, the partial autocorrelation of an AR(''p'') process is zero at lags greater than ''p''.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> If an AR model is determined to be appropriate, then the sample partial autocorrelation plot is examined to help identify the order.
 
The partial autocorrelation of lags greater than ''p'' for an AR(''p'') time series are approximately independent and [[Normal distribution|normal]] with a [[mean]] of 0.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Quenouille |first=M.

Lags with partial autocorrelations outside of the confidence interval indicate that the AR model's order is likely greater than or equal to the lag. Plotting the partial autocorrelation function and drawing the lines of the confidence interval is a common way to analyze the order of an AR model. To evaluate the order, one examines the plot to find the lag after which the partial autocorrelations are all within the confidence interval. This lag is determined to likely be the AR model's order.<ref name=":3" />
