Motivatation behind moving average models [duplicate]

Suppose I have a time series with mean $0$. If I was assuming an $MA(1)$ model, then my prediction at each time $t$ would be proportional to how "off" my last prediction was. This feels ...

Why can MA(q) (Moving Average Model with lag q) not predict q timesteps in the future [closed]

I understand that the equation for Moving Average model for lag q is - $$ y_t = \mu + \epsilon_t + \theta_1\epsilon_{t-1}+ \theta_2\epsilon_{t-2}+\dots+ \theta_q\epsilon_{t-q} $$ lets say we have ...

Is there a way to estimate dependence between an observed variable and an unobserved variable?

I'm attempting to do some open-ended exploratory analysis/model building on real-valued time series data. I am explicitly not assuming that all elements of my class of models are linear in the lagged ...

Simulations for moving Hidden Markov chain

In the setup for a moving Hidden Markov chain study of some birds, I have to make a simulation study to investigate possible consequences of assuming that the different variables are conditionally ...

Independent Gaussian Assumption in MA(q) process

In our statistics course we are learned about MA(q) models. $\epsilon_{t} = X_{t} + \theta_{0}\epsilon_{t-1} + ... + \theta_{q}\epsilon_{t-q}$ But if we think about regression, more like the AR(p) ...

Convert ARMA(p,q) to MA$(\infty)$ and find ACF

$Xt-0.4X_t+0.03X_{t-2}=Zt-0.4Z_{t-1}$ This process is causal and invertible. For the $MA(\infty)$ representation, I wrote it as $X_t=\frac{1-0.4B}{1-0.4B+0.03B^2}Z_t$, where $\psi(B)=\frac{1-0.4B}{1-0....

Write a MA(q) process to represent an AR(1)

I have the following AR(1) process: $$ Y_t = 4 + 0.2Y_{t-1} + a_t \qquad a_t \sim WN(0,1) $$ The exercise asks to write the MA(q) process sufficient to represent the AR(1) model considered. The ...

Is a moving average model fitted to white noise?

I don't understand the following definition of a moving average model from Hyndman 2021, Forecasting: principles and practice A moving average model uses past forecast errors in a regression-like ...

How to compute the fitted values of an MA(1) model manually?

I'd like to graph in Excel the fitted values of: MA(1) model I estimated using Eviews. I can't figure how to use the MA estimated coefficient to calculate the model output. Is there any ...

Where is $|\theta|<1$ used in recursive method derivation of invertibility of MA(1)?

Silly question: From what I understand, an MA process is invertible when it can be represented as an AR($\infty$) process. When using lag operator, it is somewhat clear that $|\theta|<1$ is ...

Writing MA and AR representations

I have to determine if $$(1 - 1.1B + 0.8B^2)Y_t = (1 - 1.7B + 0.72B^2)a_t$$ is stationary, invertible or both. I have shown that $\Phi(B) = 1 - 1.1B + 0.8B^2 = 0$ when $B_{1,2} = 0.6875 \pm 0.8817i$, ...

Moving Average Model over error terms

This is a basic question on Box-Jenkins MA models. As I understand, an MA model is basically a linear regression of time-series values Y against previous error terms et,...,et−n. That is, the ...

How to fit a MA(q) model for forecasting?

I have some trouble with understanding how to fit a pure MA(q) (Moving-Average Model of order q) to a time-series in order to forecast future values. We do not have any past forecasting errors, ...

Intuition behind MA(q) (moving average) time series forecasting model (i.e. 'MA' part of ARIMA) and implementation

The $AR(n)$ part of ARIMA makes sense to me. If $$x_{t+1}=\sum_{i=0}^n a_ix_{t-i}$$ then we are making the intuitive assumption that the next time step will somehow depend on the previous time ...

What is a correct implementation of the moving average model

I would like to implement a moving average model in python as when I try to use the statsmodels library, specifically the ARMA(p,q) function and setting $p=0$ I get a lot of convergence errors in the ...

Why is auto.arima modeling an AR(1) process as an MA(1)?

Playing around with auto.arima to see how effective it is at model selection. I first simulated an $AR(1)$ process with $X_{t+1} = 0.9 X_t + \epsilon_t$ ...

I computed ARMA equation from R manually but never got the same result with predict() or forecast() provided by R

I've got a little problem here. I've been doing analysis with time series data using ARMA, and it always turns out that the parameters I get from R didn't fit to my computation when I do it manually. ...
