  3. Stochastic Processes 1

  4. Time series are an example of a stochastic or random process A stochastic process is 'a statistical phenomenen that evolves in timeaccording to probabilistic laws' Mathematically, a stochastic process is an indexed collection of random variables Stochastic processes

  5. We are concerned only with processes indexed by time, either discrete time or continuous time processes such as Stochastic processes

  6. We base our inference usually on a single observation or realization of the process over some period of time, say [0, T] (a continuous interval of time) or at a sequence of time points {0, 1, 2, . . . T} Inference

  7. To describe a stochastic process fully, we must specify the all finite dimensional distributions, i.e. the joint distribution of of the random variables for any finite set of times Specification of a process

  8. A simpler approach is to only specify the moments—this is sufficient if all the joint distributions are normal The mean and variance functions are given by Specification of a process

  9. Because the random variables comprising the process are not independent, we must also specify their covariance Autocovariance

  10. Stationarity 2

  11. Inference is most easy, when a process is stationary—its distribution does not change over time This is strict stationarity A process is weakly stationary if its mean and autocovariance functions do not change over time Stationarity

  12. The autocovariance depends only on the time difference or lag between the two time points involved Weak stationarity

  13. It is useful to standardize the autocovariance function (acvf) Consider stationary case only Use the autocorrelation function (acf) Autocorrelation

  14. More than one process can have the same acf Properties are: Autocorrelation

  15. White Noise 3

  16. This is a purely random process, a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables Has constant mean and variance Also White noise

  17. Random Walk 3

  18. Start with {Zt} being white noise or purely random {Xt} is a random walk if Random walk

  19. The random walk is not stationary First differences are stationary Random walk

  20. Moving Average Processes 4

  21. Start with {Zt} being white noise or purely random, mean zero, s.d. Z {Xt} is a moving average process of order q (written MA(q)) if for some constants 0, 1, . . . q we have Usually 0 =1 Moving average processes

  22. The mean and variance are given by The process is weakly stationary because the mean is constant and the covariance does not depend on t Moving average processes

  23. If the Zt's are normal then so is the process, and it is then strictly stationary The autocorrelation is Moving average processes

  24. Note the autocorrelation cuts off at lag q For the MA(1) process with 0 = 1 Moving average processes

  25. In order to ensure there is a unique MA process for a given acf, we impose the condition of invertibility This ensures that when the process is written in series form, the series converges For the MA(1) process Xt = Zt + Zt - 1, the condition is ||< 1 Moving average processes

  26. For general processes introduce the backward shift operator B Then the MA(q) process is given by Moving average processes

  27. The general condition for invertibility is that all the roots of the equation  lie outside the unit circle (have modulus less than one) Moving average processes

  28. Autoregressive Processes 4

  29. Assume {Zt} is purely random with mean zero and s.d. z Then the autoregressive process of order p or AR(p) process is Autoregressive processes

  30. The first order autoregression is Xt = Xt - 1 + Zt Provided ||<1 it may be written as an infinite order MA process Using the backshift operator we have (1 – B)Xt = Zt Autoregressive processes

  31. Autoregressive processes • From the previous equation we have

  32. Autoregressive processes • Then E(Xt) = 0, and if ||<1

  33. Autoregressive processes • The AR(p) process can be written as

  34. This is for for some 1, 2, . . . This gives Xt as an infinite MA process, so it has mean zero Autoregressive processes

  35. Conditions are needed to ensure that various series converge, and hence that the variance exists, and the autocovariance can be defined Essentially these are requirements that the i become small quickly enough, for large i Autoregressive processes

  36. The i may not be able to be found however. The alternative is to work with the i The acf is expressible in terms of the roots i, i=1,2, ...p of the auxiliary equation Autoregressive processes

  37. Then a necessary and sufficient condition for stationarity is that for every i, |i|<1 An equivalent way of expressing this is that the roots of the equation must lie outside the unit circle Autoregressive processes

  38. Combine AR and MA processes An ARMA process of order (p,q) is given by ARMA processes

  39. Alternative expressions are possible using the backshift operator ARMA processes

  40. An ARMA process can be written in pure MA or pure AR forms, the operators being possibly of infinite order Usually the mixed form requires fewer parameters ARMA processes

  41. General autoregressive integrated moving average processes are called ARIMA processes When differenced say d times, the process is an ARMA process Call the differenced process Wt. Then Wt is an ARMA process and ARIMA processes

  42. Alternatively specify the process as This is an ARIMA process of order (p,d,q) ARIMA processes

  43. The model for Xt is non-stationary because the AR operator on the left hand side has d roots on the unit circle d is often 1 Random walk is ARIMA(0,1,0) Can include seasonal terms—see later ARIMA processes

  44. We have assumed that the mean is zero in the ARIMA models There are two alternatives mean correct all the Wt terms in the model incorporate a constant term in the model Non-zero mean

  45. The Box-JenkinsApproach

  46. Outline of the approach Sample autocorrelation & partial autocorrelation Fitting ARIMA models Diagnostic checking Example Further ideas Topics

  47. Outline of theBox-Jenkins Approach 1

  48. The approach is an iterative one involving model identification model fitting model checking If the model checking reveals that there are problems, the process is repeated Box-Jenkins approach

  49. Models to be fitted are from the ARIMA class of models (or SARIMA class if the data are seasonal) The major tools in the identification process are the (sample) autocorrelation function and partial autocorrelation function Models

  50. Use the sample autocovariance and sample variance to estimate the autocorrelation The obvious estimator of the autocovariance is Autocorrelation
