A Dog on a Leash? (Part 2)
To verify that Heating Oil and Natural Gas prices are cointegrated, First apply the Dickey-Fuller test separately to show they are random walks. Then apply the test to the difference, which should strongly reject the random walk hypothesis. The Heating Oil and Natural Gas prices are pre-loaded in DataFrames HO and NG.

Time Series Analysis in Python
Instructions
- Perform the adfuller test on
HOand onNGseparately, and save the results (results are a list)- The argument for adfuller must be a series, so you need to include the column
'Close' - Print just the p-value (item [1] in the list)
- The argument for adfuller must be a series, so you need to include the column
- Do the same thing for the spread, again converting the units of
HO, and using the column'Close'of each DataFrame
