Notes
We suppose here that the white noise is normal with zero mean and variance . It implies that the ARMA process estimated is normal.
For each order , the estimation of the coefficients , and the variance is done using the Whittle estimator which is based on the maximization of the likelihood function in the frequency domain.
The principle is detailed hereafter for the case of a time series : in the case of a process sample, the estimator is similar except for the periodogram which is computed differently.
Let be a multivariate time series of dimension from an process.
The spectral density function of the process writes :
where and is the frequency value.
The Whittle log-likelihood writes :
where :
is the non parametric estimate of the spectral density, expressed in the Fourier space (frequencies in instead of ). OpenTURNS uses by default the Welch estimator.
is the Fourier frequency, , with the largest integer .
We estimate the scalar coefficients by maximizing the log-likelihood function. The corresponding equations lead to the following relation :
where maximizes :
The Whitle estimation requires that :
the determinant of the eigenvalues of the companion matrix associated to the polynomial are outside the unit disc, which guarantees the stationarity of the process;
the determinant of the eigenvalues of the companion matrix associated to the polynomial are outside the unit disc, which guarantees the invertibility of the process.
The criteria AIC, (corrected AIC) and BIC are evaluated to help the model selection:
where is half the number of points of the time grid of the process sample (if the data are a process sample) or in a block of the time series (if the data are a time series).
The BIC criterion leads to a model that gives a better prediction. The AIC criterion selects the best model that fits the given data. The criterion improves the previous one by penalizing a too high order that would artificially fit to the data.
Examples
Create a time series from a scalar ARMA(4,2) and a normal white noise:
>>> import openturns as ot >>> myTimeGrid = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 100) >>> myWhiteNoise = ot.WhiteNoise(ot.Triangular(-1.0, 0.0, 1.0), myTimeGrid) >>> myARCoef = ot.ARMACoefficients([0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1]) >>> myMACoef = ot.ARMACoefficients([0.4, 0.3]) >>> myARMAProcess = ot.ARMA(myARCoef, myMACoef, myWhiteNoise) >>> myTimeSeries = myARMAProcess.getRealization() >>> myProcessSample = myARMAProcess.getSample(10)
Estimate the ARMA process specifying the orders:
>>> myFactory_42 = ot.WhittleFactory(4, 2)
Check the default SpectralModelFactory:
>>> print(myFactory_42.getSpectralModelFactory())
Set a particular spectral model: WelchFactory as SpectralModelFactory with the Hann filtering window:
>>> myFilteringWindow = ot.Hann() >>> mySpectralFactory = ot.WelchFactory(myFilteringWindow, 4, 0) >>> myFactory_42.setSpectralModelFactory(mySpectralFactory) >>> print(myFactory_42.getSpectralModelFactory())
Estimate the ARMA process specifying a range for the orders:
p = [1, 2, 4] and q = [4,5,6]:
>>> pIndices = [1, 2, 4] >>> qIndices = [4, 5, 6] >>> myFactory_Range = ot.WhittleFactory(pIndices, qIndices)
To get the quantified AICc, AIC and BIC criteria:
>>> myARMA_42, myCriterion = myFactory_42.buildWithCriteria(ot.TimeSeries(myTimeSeries)) >>> AICc, AIC, BIC = myCriterion[0:3]
