How are error terms calculated for moving average model in R [duplicate]

For an ARIMA (0,0,1) model, I understand that R follows the equation: xt = mu + e(t) + theta*e(t-1) (Please correct me if I am wrong) I assume e(t-1) is same as the residual of the last observation. ...

How to compute error terms in moving average time series model? [duplicate]

Currently I am studying time series Moving Average model MA(q) $$X_t -\mu= \epsilon_t + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-1} + \theta_2 \epsilon_{t-2} + ... + \theta_q \epsilon_q$$ where $\theta_1,...,\theta_q$ are ...

Past error terms in MA process [duplicate]

Error terms are calculated when you already have a model, and you calculate them as predicted values - actual values. Now you want to fit MA process to predict future data points (means you still don'...

What is the reasoning behind defining the MA process in terms of unobserved errors?

Why is the MA(1) process phrased as $X_t = \epsilon_t + \theta\epsilon_{t-1}$, with the $\epsilon_t$ defined as the (unobserved) errors between model fit $\hat X_t$ and observed $X_t$? Why is the MA ...

Any difference between AR(1) model and MA(1) model in practice?

Will AR(1) model exactly equals to MA(1) model? since both models use the previous one value for forecasting

Interpretation of error term in Moving Average (ARIMA)

I have an elementary question regarding the error term in MA (ARIMA)-- From where does this error term come from? From what I understood from the question raised earlier in the following link: ...

What does MA(q) model forecast? Future $X_t$ or future $\epsilon_t$

In time series, Moving Average model $MA(q)$ is defined by $$X_t = \mu + \epsilon_t + \theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1} + \theta_2\epsilon_{t-2} + ... + \theta_q \epsilon_q$$ where $\mu$ is the mean of the ...

How can I calculate the parameters of a MA time series model?

I am new to Time Series Analysis and I have problems understanding the MA-model (opposed to the AR model). I read many webpages about it and it is either said that MA is a linear regression with past ...

Expected Value of an ARMA-GARCH Model

An ARMA(p,q) model is given by $ \qquad \qquad Y_t = c + \sum\limits_{i=1}^{p}\varphi_iY_{t-i}+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{q}\theta_i\varepsilon_{t-i} + \varepsilon$ with $\varepsilon_t \sim N(0,\sigma^2)$. ...

Moving Averages Model

In an MA model how does one fit a regression line without the help of errors? how does one get the errors without predicting? The 1st order moving average model, denoted by MA(1) is: $x_t = \mu + w_t +...
