The OUTAR= data set contains the estimates of the preliminary autoregressive models. The OUTAR= data set contains the following variables:
ORDER, a numeric variable that contains the order p of the autoregressive model that the observation represents
AIC, a numeric variable that contains the value of the information criterion 
 
                  
SIGFl, numeric variables that contain the estimate of the innovation covariance matrices for the forward autoregressive models.
                     The variable SIGFl contains the lth column of 
 in the observations with ORDER=p. 
                  
SIGBl, numeric variables that contain the estimate of the innovation covariance matrices for the backward autoregressive models.
                     The variable SIGBl contains the lth column of 
 in the observations with ORDER=p. 
                  
FORk _l, numeric variables that contain the estimates of the autoregressive parameter matrices for the forward models. The variable
                     FORk _l contains the lth column of the lag k autoregressive parameter matrix 
 in the observations with ORDER=p. 
                  
BACk _l, numeric variables that contain the estimates of the autoregressive parameter matrices for the backward models. The variable
                     BACk _l contains the lth column of the lag k autoregressive parameter matrix 
 in the observations with ORDER=p. 
                  
The estimates for the order p autoregressive model can be selected as those observations with ORDER=p. Within these observations, the k,lth element of 
 is given by the value of the FORi _l variable in the kth observation. The k,lth element of 
 is given by the value of BACi _l variable in the kth observation. The k,lth element of ![]()
 is given by SIGFl in the kth observation. The k,lth element of ![]()
 is given by SIGBl in the kth observation. 
         
Table 28.2 shows an example of the OUTAR= data set, with ARMAX=3 and 
 of dimension 2. In Table 28.2, 
 indicate the i,jth element of the matrix.
