Arima model

Notations

The backshift, foreshift operators
\(B, F\) are defined by \(B^k y_t = y_{t-k} \:, \: F^k y_t = y_{t+k}\)

We define an ARIMA process as

\[\Delta \left(B \right) \Phi \left(B \right) y_t = \Theta \left(B \right) \epsilon_t\]

where

\[\Delta \left(B \right)= 1+ \delta_1 B \cdots + \delta_d B^d\] \[\Phi \left(B \right)= 1+ \varphi_1 B \cdots + \phi_p B^p\] \[\Theta \left(B \right)= 1+ \theta_1 B \cdots + \theta_q B^q\]

are the differencing, auto-regressive and moving average polynomials.

The corresponding stationary ARMA model is defined by

\[\Phi \left(B \right) y_t = \Theta \left(B \right) \epsilon_t\]

Properties of the ARMA model

The Pi-weights are generated by the Rational function \(\Pi \left(B\right) = \frac{\Phi \left(B \right)}{ \Theta \left(B \right)}\)

and the Psi-weights are generated by the Rational function \(\Psi \left(B\right) = \frac{ \Theta \left(B \right)}{ \Phi \left(B \right)}\)

We have:

\[\Pi \left(B \right) y_t = \epsilon_t\]

and

\(y_t = \Psi \left(B \right) \epsilon_t\) (Wold representation)

The autocovariances of the process are generated by

\[\Psi \left(B \right) \Psi \left(F \right) = \frac{\Theta \left(B \right) \Theta \left(F \right)}{\Phi \left(B \right) \Phi \left(F \right)}\]
