Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect
In the statistical analysis of time series, autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) models provide a parsimonious description of a (weakly) stationary stochastic process in terms of two polynomials, one for the autoregression (AR) and the second for the moving average (MA). The general ARMA model was described in the 1951 thesis of Peter Whittle, Hypothesis testing in time series analysis, and it was popularized in the 1970 book by George E. P. Box and Gwilym Jenkins.
Given a time series of data <math>X_t</math>, the ARMA model is a tool for understanding and, perhaps, predicting future values in this series. The AR part involves regressing the variable on its own lagged (i.e., past) values. The MA part involves modeling the error term as a linear combination of error terms occurring contemporaneously and at various times in the past. The model is usually referred to as the ARMA(p,q) model where p is the order of the AR part and q is the order of the MA part (as defined below).
ARMA models can be estimated by using the Box–Jenkins method.
Autoregressive model
Шаблон:Main The notation AR(p) refers to the autoregressive model of order p. The AR(p) model is written as
- <math> X_t = \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i X_{t-i}+ \varepsilon_t</math>
where <math>\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_p</math> are parameters and the random variable <math>\varepsilon_t</math> is white noise, usually independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) normal random variables.[1][2]
In order for the model to remain stationary, the roots of its characteristic polynomial must lie outside of the unit circle. For example, processes in the AR(1) model with <math>|\varphi_1| \ge 1</math> are not stationary because the root of <math>1 - \varphi_1B = 0</math> lies within the unit circle.[3]
ADF assesses the stability of IMF and trend components. For stationary time series, the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is used, while for non-stationary series, LSTM models are employed to derive abstract features. The final value is obtained by reconstructing the predicted outcomes of each time series.
Moving-average model
Шаблон:Main The notation MA(q) refers to the moving average model of order q:
- <math> X_t = \mu + \varepsilon_t + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i \varepsilon_{t-i}\,</math>
where the <math>\theta_1,...,\theta_q</math> are the parameters of the model, <math>\mu</math> is the expectation of <math>X_t</math> (often assumed to equal 0), and the <math>\varepsilon_t</math>, <math>\varepsilon_{t-1}</math>,... are again i.i.d. white noise error terms that are commonly normal random variables.[4]
ARMA model
The notation ARMA(p, q) refers to the model with p autoregressive terms and q moving-average terms. This model contains the AR(p) and MA(q) models,[5]
- <math> X_t = \varepsilon_t + \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i X_{t-i} + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i \varepsilon_{t-i}.\,</math>
The general ARMA model was described in the 1951 thesis of Peter Whittle, who used mathematical analysis (Laurent series and Fourier analysis) and statistical inference.[6][7] ARMA models were popularized by a 1970 book by George E. P. Box and Jenkins, who expounded an iterative (Box–Jenkins) method for choosing and estimating them. This method was useful for low-order polynomials (of degree three or less).[8]
The ARMA model is essentially an infinite impulse response filter applied to white noise, with some additional interpretation placed on it.
Specification in terms of lag operator
In some texts the models will be specified in terms of the lag operator L. In these terms then the AR(p) model is given by
- <math> \varepsilon_t = \left(1 - \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i L^i\right) X_t = \varphi (L) X_t\,</math>
where <math>\varphi</math> represents the polynomial
- <math> \varphi (L) = 1 - \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i L^i.\,</math>
The MA(q) model is given by
- <math> X_t - \mu = \left(1 + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i L^i\right) \varepsilon_t = \theta (L) \varepsilon_t , \,</math>
where <math>\theta</math> represents the polynomial
- <math> \theta(L)= 1 + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i L^i .\,</math>
Finally, the combined ARMA(p, q) model is given by
- <math> \left(1 - \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i L^i\right) X_t = \left(1 + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i L^i\right) \varepsilon_t \, ,</math>
or more concisely,
- <math> \varphi(L) X_t = \theta(L) \varepsilon_t \, </math>
or
- <math> \frac{\varphi(L)}{\theta(L)}X_t = \varepsilon_t \, .</math>
Alternative notation
Some authors, including Box, Jenkins & Reinsel use a different convention for the autoregression coefficients.[9] This allows all the polynomials involving the lag operator to appear in a similar form throughout. Thus the ARMA model would be written as
- <math> \left(1 - \sum_{i=1}^p \phi_i L^i\right) X_t = \left(1 + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i L^i\right) \varepsilon_t \, .</math>
Moreover, starting summations from <math> i=0 </math> and setting <math> \phi_0 = -1 </math> and <math> \theta_0 = 1 </math>, then we get an even more elegant formulation: <math> -\sum_{i=0}^p \phi_i L^i \; X_t = \sum_{i=0}^q \theta_i L^i \; \varepsilon_t \, .</math>
Alternative interpretation
In digital signal processing, the ARMA model is represented as a digital filter with white noise at the input and the ARMA process at the output.
Fitting models
Choosing p and q
Finding appropriate values of p and q in the ARMA(p,q) model can be facilitated by plotting the partial autocorrelation functions for an estimate of p, and likewise using the autocorrelation functions for an estimate of q. Extended autocorrelation functions (EACF) can be used to simultaneously determine p and q.[10] Further information can be gleaned by considering the same functions for the residuals of a model fitted with an initial selection of p and q.
Brockwell & Davis recommend using Akaike information criterion (AIC) for finding p and q.[11] Another possible choice for order determining is the BIC criterion.
Estimating coefficients
ARMA models in general can be, after choosing p and q, fitted by least squares regression to find the values of the parameters which minimize the error term. It is generally considered good practice to find the smallest values of p and q which provide an acceptable fit to the data. For a pure AR model the Yule-Walker equations may be used to provide a fit.
Unlike other methods of regression (i.e. OLS, 2SLS, etc.) often employed in econometric analysis, ARMA model outputs are used primarily for the cases of forecasting time-series data. Their coefficients are then as such only utilized for prediction. Other areas of econometrics look at the causal inference, time-series forecasting using ARMA is not. The coefficients should then only be seen as useful for predictive modelling.
Implementations in statistics packages
- In R, the arima function (in standard package stats) is documented in ARIMA Modelling of Time Series. The package astsa has an improved script called sarima for fitting ARMA models (seasonal and nonseasonal) as well as sarima.sim to simulate data from these models. Extension packages contain related and extended functionality, e.g., the tseries package includes an arma function, documented in "Fit ARMA Models to Time Series"; the fracdiff package contains fracdiff() for fractionally integrated ARMA processes; and the forecast package includes auto.arima for selecting a parsimonious set of p,q. The CRAN task view on Time Series contains links to most of these.

Spectrum
The spectral density of an ARMA process is<math display="block">S(f) = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\pi} \left\vert \frac{\theta(e^{-if})}{\phi(e^{-if})} \right\vert^2</math>where <math>\sigma^2</math> is the variance of the white noise, <math>\theta</math> is the characteristic polynomial of the moving average part of the ARMA model, and <math>\phi</math> is the characteristic polynomial of the autoregressive part of the ARMA model.[13][14]
Applications
ARMA is appropriate when a system is a function of a series of unobserved shocks (the MA or moving average part) as well as its own behavior. For example, stock prices may be shocked by fundamental information as well as exhibiting technical trending and mean-reversion effects due to market participants.Шаблон:Citation needed
Generalizations
The dependence of <math>X_t</math> on past values and the error terms εt is assumed to be linear unless specified otherwise. If the dependence is nonlinear, the model is specifically called a nonlinear moving average (NMA), nonlinear autoregressive (NAR), or nonlinear autoregressive–moving-average (NARMA) model.
Autoregressive–moving-average models can be generalized in other ways. See also autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. If multiple time series are to be fitted then a vector ARIMA (or VARIMA) model may be fitted. If the time-series in question exhibits long memory then fractional ARIMA (FARIMA, sometimes called ARFIMA) modelling may be appropriate: see Autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average. If the data is thought to contain seasonal effects, it may be modeled by a SARIMA (seasonal ARIMA) or a periodic ARMA model.
Another generalization is the multiscale autoregressive (MAR) model. A MAR model is indexed by the nodes of a tree, whereas a standard (discrete time) autoregressive model is indexed by integers.
Note that the ARMA model is a univariate model. Extensions for the multivariate case are the vector autoregression (VAR) and Vector Autoregression Moving-Average (VARMA).
Шаблон:AnchorAutoregressive–moving-average model with exogenous inputs model (ARMAX model)
The notation ARMAX(p, q, b) refers to the model with p autoregressive terms, q moving average terms and b exogenous inputs terms. This model contains the AR(p) and MA(q) models and a linear combination of the last b terms of a known and external time series <math>d_t</math>. It is given by:
- <math> X_t = \varepsilon_t + \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i X_{t-i} + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i \varepsilon_{t-i} + \sum_{i=1}^b \eta_i d_{t-i}.\,</math>
where <math>\eta_1, \ldots, \eta_b</math> are the parameters of the exogenous input <math>d_t</math>.
Some nonlinear variants of models with exogenous variables have been defined: see for example Nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model.
Statistical packages implement the ARMAX model through the use of "exogenous" (that is, independent,) variables. Care must be taken when interpreting the output of those packages, because the estimated parameters usually (for example, in R[15] and gretl) refer to the regression:
- <math> X_t - m_t = \varepsilon_t + \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i (X_{t-i} - m_{t-i}) + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i \varepsilon_{t-i}.\,</math>
where <math>m_t</math> incorporates all exogenous (or independent) variables:
- <math>m_t = c + \sum_{i=0}^b \eta_i d_{t-i}.\,</math>
