Can an ARIMAX estimate this model?
So I have this AR data series, AR1, mostly (for the argument). I also have an exogeneous regressor, only the DGP I suspect is something in the line of:
$ y_t=y_{t-1}+\alpha x_ty_{t-1}+\varepsilon_t $
...

A Data Generating Process Implying Homogeneous Individual Treatment Effects
I want to find a data generating process implying homogeneous individual treatment effects.
Specifically, consider two potential outcomes $y_i^1$ and $y_i^0$.
The first one is the individual $i$'s (...

Gonzalo's cointegration DGP
I am trying to reprogram the data generating process from Haug (1996) which follows this equation:
Parameter a1 can take values (0,1); a2 is fixed at value 1 and their purpose is to set exogeneity or ...

Statistical model of a multi-class classifier vs. binary classifiers
Say, a balanced training set containing images that depict either a cat, dog, horse, or panda is given. One trains a machine learning model (e.g., a neural network) to classify whether an image ...

Change of the data generating process (DGP) vs. occurrence of unseen observations
Say, one trains a machine learning model to classify emails as spam or normal. Then, the adversary (or the collection of all adversaries) represents the data generating process (DGP) that generates ...

Why do we use term “population” instead of “Data-generating process”?
I have always been confused about the use of the term “population” in statistics. In my first statistics course I was taught that we need a sample, because surveying the whole population is too costly....

Interpretation of intercept term in ECM
Suppose two $I(1)$ series $x_t, y_t$ are cointegrated. Therefore $\mu_t$ in following equation is stationary:
\begin{align}
y_t = \beta_0 + \beta_1x_t + \mu_t \tag{1}
\end{align}
Now consider the ECM ...

Econometrics meaning of structural versus regression model
I want to make sure my understanding is correct. Particularly in econometrics, when authors write down a model:
$Y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_i + \epsilon$
Can I think of this as a 'structural model'- or ...
