General Statistics Examples |
Nonlinear estimation algorithms are required for obtaining estimates of the parameters of a regression model with innovations having an ARMA structure. The three estimation methods employed by the ARIMA procedure in SAS/ETS software are written in IML in the following program. The algorithms employed are slightly different from those used by PROC ARIMA, but the results obtained should be similar. This example combines the IML functions ARMALIK, PRODUCT, and RATIO to perform the estimation. Note the interactive nature of this example, illustrating how you can adjust the estimates when they venture outside the stationary or invertible regions.
