Details

  • SARMAProcess is a discrete-time and continuous-state random process.
  • The SARMA process is described by the difference equation , with , where is the state output, is white noise input, is the shift operator, and the constant c is taken to be zero if not specified.
  • The initial data init can be given as a list {…,y[-2],y[-1]} or a single-path TemporalData object with time stamps understood as {…,-2,-1}.
  • A scalar SARMA process should have real coefficients ai, αi, bj, βj, and c, positive integer seasonality coefficients s, and a positive variance v.
  • An -dimensional vector SARMA process should have real coefficient matrices ai, αi, bj, and βj of dimensions ×, real vector c of length , integer positive seasonality constants si or integer positive seasonality constant s, and the covariance matrix Σ should be symmetric positive definite of dimensions ×.
  • The SARMA process with zero constant has transfer function , where , , , , and is an n-dimensional unit.
  • SARMAProcess[p,q,{s,sp,sq}] represents a SARMA process with autoregressive and moving-average orders p and q, their seasonal counterparts sp and sq, and seasonality s for use in EstimatedProcess and related functions.
  • SARMAProcess can be used with such functions as CovarianceFunction, RandomFunction, and TimeSeriesForecast.
