The Durbin Watson statistic ranges from 0 to 4, where a value around 2 suggests no autocorrelation, values approaching 0 indicate positive autocorrelation, and values approaching 4 indicate negative autocorrelation. A value of 0.279 is much closer to 0, indicating positive autocorrelation among the residuals.
