class statsmodels.tsa.arima_process.ArmaProcess(ar=None, ma=None, nobs=100) [source]

Theoretical properties of an ARMA process for specified lag-polynomials

Parameters:	ar (array_like, 1d, optional) – Coefficient for autoregressive lag polynomial, including zero lag. See the notes for some information about the sign. ma (array_like, 1d, optional) – Coefficient for moving-average lag polynomial, including zero lag nobs (int, optional) – Length of simulated time series. Used, for example, if a sample is generated. See example.

Notes

Both the AR and MA components must include the coefficient on the zero-lag. In almost all cases these values should be 1. Further, due to using the lag-polynomial representation, the AR parameters should have the opposite sign of what one would write in the ARMA representation. See the examples below.

The ARMA(p,q) process is described by

\[y_{t}=\phi_{1}y_{t-1}+\ldots+\phi_{p}y_{t-p}+\theta_{1}\epsilon_{t-1} +\ldots+\theta_{q}\epsilon_{t-q}+\epsilon_{t}\]

and the parameterization used in this function uses the lag-polynomial representation,

\[\left(1-\phi_{1}L-\ldots-\phi_{p}L^{p}\right)y_{t} = \left(1-\theta_{1}L-\ldots-\theta_{q}L^{q}\right)\]

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.random.seed(12345)
>>> arparams = np.array([.75, -.25])
>>> maparams = np.array([.65, .35])
>>> ar = np.r_[1, -ar] # add zero-lag and negate
>>> ma = np.r_[1, ma] # add zero-lag
>>> arma_process = sm.tsa.ArmaProcess(ar, ma)
>>> arma_process.isstationary
True
>>> arma_process.isinvertible
True
>>> y = arma_process.generate_sample(250)
>>> model = sm.tsa.ARMA(y, (2, 2)).fit(trend='nc', disp=0)
>>> model.params
