Autoregressive Processes

A p-order autoregressive process, denoted AR(p), takes the form

Thinking of the subscripts i as representing time, we see that the value of y at time i is a linear function of y at earlier times plus a fixed constant and a random error term. As for an ordinary linear regression model, we assume that the error terms are independently and normally distributed with zero mean and constant variance σ2, and that the error terms are independent of the y values.

  1. Hi Charles, Thank you very much for this site. It is extremely helpful. I would like to find out how you determine the error terms for the ARIMA model (ei).

    Kind regards,
    Kyle

    • Kyle,
      The formula is of form y_i = [linear combination of y_j terms and coefficients] + e_i. If you know the values of the coefficients and the y_j terms, then the error term is simply e_i = y_i – [linear combination of y_j terms and coefficients].
