Conditions for stationarity Autoregressive Time series of order p, AR(p)
If b1 = 1 and d = 0. The value of xt increases in magnitude and ut eventually becomes negligible. The time series {xt|t T} satisfies the equation: The time series {xt|t T} exhibits deterministic behaviour.
For a AR(p) time series, consider the polynomial with roots r1, r2 , … , rp then {xt|t T} is stationary if |ri| > 1 for all i. If |ri| < 1 for at least one i then {xt|t T} exhibits deterministic behaviour. If |ri| ≥ 1 and |ri| = 1 for at least one i then {xt|t T} exhibits non-stationary random behaviour.
since: and |r1 |>1, |r2 |>1, … , | rp |> 1 for a stationary AR(p) series then i.e. the autocorrelation function, r(h), of a stationary AR(p) series “tails off” to zero.
Special Cases: The AR(1) time Let {xt|t T} be defined by the equation.
Consider the polynomial with root r1= 1/b1 • {xt|t T} is stationary if |r1| > 1 or |b1| < 1 . • If |ri| < 1 or |b1| > 1 then {xt|t T} exhibits deterministic behaviour. • If |ri| = 1 or |b1| = 1 then {xt|t T} exhibits non-stationary random behaviour.
Special Cases: The AR(2) time Let {xt|t T} be defined by the equation.
Consider the polynomial where r1 and r2 are the roots of b(x) • {xt|t T} is stationary if |r1| > 1 and |r2| > 1 . This is true if b1+b2 < 1 , b2 –b1 < 1 and b2 > -1. These inequalities define a triangular region for b1 and b2. • If |ri| < 1 or |b1| > 1 then {xt|t T} exhibits deterministic behaviour. • If |ri| ≥ 1 for i = 1,2 and |ri| = 1 for at least on i then {xt|t T} exhibits non-stationary random behaviour.

Let {xt|t T} be defined by the equation. Then {xt|t T} is called a Mixed Autoregressive- Moving Average time series - ARMA(p,q) series.
Mean value, variance, autocovariance function, autocorrelation function of anARMA(p,q) series
Similar to an AR(p) time series, for certain values of the parameters b1, …, bp an ARMA(p,q) time series may not be stationary. An ARMA(p,q) time series is stationary if the roots (r1, r2, … , rp ) of the polynomial b(x) = 1 – b1x – b2x2 - … - bpxp satisfy | ri| > 1 for all i.
Assume that the ARMA(p,q) time series{xt|t T} is stationary: Let m = E(xt). Then or
The Autocovariance function, s(h), of a stationary mixed autoregressive-moving average time series{xt|t T} be determined by the equation: Thus
The autocovariance function s(h) satisfies: For h = 0, 1. … , q: for h > q:
We then use the first (p + 1) equations to determine: s(0), s(1), s(2), … , s(p) We use the subsequent equations to determine: s(h) for h > p.
Example:The autocovariance function, s(h), for an ARMA(1,1) time series: For h = 0, 1: or for h > 1:
Substituting s(0) into the second equation we get: or Substituting s(1) into the first equation we get:
Consider the time series {xt : tT} and Let Mdenote the linear space spanned by the set of random variables {xt : tT} (i.e. all linear combinations of elements of {xt : tT} and their limits in mean square). Mis a vector space Let B be an operator on M defined by: Bxt = xt-1. B is called the backshift operator.
Note: • We can also define the operator Bk with Bkxt = B(B(...Bxt)) = xt-k. • The polynomial operator p(B) = c0I + c1B + c2B2 + ... + ckBk can also be defined by the equation. p(B)xt = (c0I + c1B + c2B2 + ... + ckBk)xt . = c0Ixt + c1Bxt + c2B2xt + ... + ckBkxt = c0xt + c1xt-1 + c2xt-2 + ... + ckxt-k
The power series operator p(B) = c0I + c1B + c2B2 + ... can also be defined by the equation. p(B)xt= (c0I + c1B + c2B2 + ... )xt = c0Ixt + c1Bxt + c2B2xt + ... = c0xt + c1xt-1 + c2xt-2 + ... • If p(B) = c0I + c1B + c2B2 + ... and q(B) = b0I + b1B + b2B2 + ... are such that p(B)q(B) = I i.e. p(B)q(B)xt = Ixt = xt than q(B) is denoted by [p(B)]-1.
Other operators closely related to B: • F = B-1 ,the forward shift operator, defined by Fxt = B-1xt = xt+1and • D = I - B ,the first difference operator, defined by Dxt = (I - B)xt = xt - xt-1 .
The Equation for a MA(q) time series xt= a0ut + a1ut-1 +a2ut-2 +... +aqut-q+ m can be written xt= a(B)ut + m where a(B)= a0I + a1B +a2B2 +... +aqBq
The Equation for a AR(p) time series xt= b1xt-1 +b2xt-2 +... +bpxt-p+ d +ut can be written b(B)xt= d + ut where b(B)= I - b1B - b2B2 -... - bpBp
The Equation for a ARMA(p,q) time series xt= b1xt-1 +b2xt-2 +... +bpxt-p+ d +ut + a1ut-1 +a2ut-2 +... +aqut-q can be written b(B)xt= a(B)ut + m where a(B)= a0I + a1B +a2B2 +... +aqBq and b(B)= I - b1B - b2B2 -... - bpBp
Some comments about the Backshift operator B • It is a useful notational device, allowing us to write the equations for MA(q), AR(p) and ARMA(p, q) in a very compact form; • It is also useful for making certain computations related to the time series described above;
The partial autocorrelation function A useful tool in time series analysis
The partial autocorrelation function Recall that the autocorrelation function of an AR(p) process satisfies the equation: rx(h) = b1rx(h-1) + b2rx(h-2) + ... +bprx(h-p) For 1 ≤ h ≤ p these equations (Yule-Walker) become: rx(1) = b1 + b2rx(1) + ... +bprx(p-1) rx(2) = b1rx(1) + b2 + ... +bprx(p-2) ... rx(p) = b1rx(p-1)+ b2rx(p-2) + ... +bp.
In matrix notation: These equations can be used to find b1, b2, … , bp, if the time series is known to be AR(p) and the autocorrelation rx(h)function is known.
If the time series is not autoregressive the equations can still be used to solve for b1, b2, … , bp, for any value of p 1. In this case are the values that minimizes the mean square error:
Definition: The partial auto correlation function at lag k is defined to be:
Comment: The partial auto correlation function, Fkk is determined from the auto correlation function, r(h)
Some more comments: • The partial autocorrelation function at lag k, Fkk, can be interpreted as a corrected autocorrelation between xt and xt-k conditioning on the intervening variables xt-1, xt-2, ... ,xt-k+1 . • If the time series is an AR(p) time series than • Fkk = 0 for k > p • If the time series is an MA(q) time series than • rx(h) = 0 for h > q
