  • SETAR (model)

    In statistics, Self-Exciting Threshold AutoRegressive (SETAR) models are typically applied to time series data as an extension of autoregressive models, in order to allow for higher degree of flexibility in model parameters through a regime switching behaviour.

    Given a time series of data xt, the SETAR model is a tool for understanding and, perhaps, predicting future values in this series, assuming that the behaviour of the series changes once the series enters a different regime. The switch from one regime to another depends on the past values of the x series (hence the Self-Exciting portion of the name).

    The model consists of k autoregressive (AR) parts, each for a different regime. The model is usually referred to as the SETAR(k, p) model where k is the number of regimes and p is the order of the autoregressive part (since those can differ between regimes, the p portion is sometimes dropped and models are denoted simply as SETAR(k).

    Ive Got You Under My Skin

    by: Seether

    I've got you under my skin
    I've got you deep in the heart of me
    So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
    I've got you under my skin
    I've tried so not to give in
    I said to myself this affair won't go so well
    But why should I try to resist when baby I know more
    than well
    I've got you under my skin
    I've got you under my skin
    And I've got you deep in the heart of me
    So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
    I've got you under my skin
    I'd sacrifice anything come what might
    For the sake of having you near
    In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
    And repeats, repeats in my ear
    Don't you know fool you can never win
    Use your mentality wake to reality
    But each time that I do
    Just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
    'Cause I've got you under my skin
    I've got you under my skin
    I've got you deep in the heart of me
    So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
    'Cause I've got you under my skin
    oooohhhh
    ooohhh ooohhh
    oooohhhh
    ooohhh ooohhh
    I've got you under my skin
    I've got you deep in the heart of me
    So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
