AUTOREG Statement |
![]() |
The damping factor can take any value in the interval (–1, 1), including –1 but excluding 1. If
, the autoregressive component cannot be distinguished from the random walk level component. If
, the autoregressive component corresponds to a seasonal component with a season length of 2, or a nonstationary cycle with period 2. If
, then the autoregressive component is stationary. The following example illustrates the AUTOREG statement. This statement includes an autoregressive component in the model. The damping factor
and the disturbance variance
are estimated from the data.

specifies an initial value for the disturbance variance during the parameter estimation process. Any nonnegative value, including zero, is an acceptable starting value.
