) is described by a first-order autoregressive process:
where
is an autoregressive parameter,
the lag operator (i.e.,
),
a residual series of zero-mean, constant-variance
, and uncorrelated random shocks, and
a constant. Note that Equation (C.1) may also be written in the more familiar form
(C.2) ![]()
which corresponds ...
