I have window$r.nifty, which is a time-series of returns on the Nifty
market index.

  # Box-Ljung test on Nifty --
  test = Box.test(window$r.nifty, lag=10, type="Ljung");
  cat("Box Ljung prob value: ", test$p.value, "\n")

  # Runs test on Nifty
  test = runs.test(factor(sign(window$r.nifty)));
  cat("Runs test prob value: ", test$p.value, "\n")
