Representation view with AR(1)

It might be good if the representation view after

Code: Select all

LS X C AR(1)
looked like
X = C(1) + [AR(1)=C(2)]*RESID(-1)
rather than like
X = C(1) + [AR(1)=C(2)]

Interesting idea, and I can see why it might be desirable, but then we'd have to have lots of lags of RESID running around for higher order and seasonal polynomial models. One more thing, changing the representation is not innocuous as it's used by the forecast and model engine, which would have to be rewritten to accommodate the new format. And that's not even talking about MAs.

But perhaps there's another place where we could display the expanded polynomial forms or perhaps forms using the L operator.

I was really only thinking about the display issue. I've had some intro students who read the current representation and misunderstood what it implied for fitted values.

So maybe an addition to the ARMA structure view...
