Autoregressive Models
• Intuition
– Autoregressive models are based on the idea that current value
of the series, Xt , can be explained as a linear combination of p
past values, Xt−1 , Xt−2 , . . . , Xt−p , together with a random
error in the same series.
• Definition
– An autoregressive model of order p, abbreviated AR(p), is of
the form
p
X
Xt = φ1 Xt−1 + φ2 Xt−2 + · · · + φp Xt−p + wt = φi Xt−i + wt
