ARMA¶

(Source code, png)

class ARMA(*args)¶

ARMA process.

Refer to ARMA stochastic process.

Available constructors:

ARMA()

ARMA(ARCoeff, MACoeff, whiteNoise)

ARMA(ARCoeff, MACoeff, whiteNoise, ARMAstate)

Parameters:

ARCoeffARMACoefficients

The coefficients of the AR part of the recurrence : $(a_1, \hdots, a_p)$ in dimension 1 and $(\mat{A}_{\, 1}, \hdots, \mat{A}{\, _p})$ in dimension $d$ .

Default is: $0$ in dimension 1 and the associated time grid is $\{0,1\}$ .

MACoeffARMACoefficients

The coefficients of the MA part of the recurrence : $(b_1, \hdots, b_q)$ in dimension 1 and $(\mat{B}_{\, 1}, \hdots, \mat{B}{\, _p})$ in dimension $d$ .

Default is: $0$ in dimension 1 and the associated time grid is $\{0,1\}$ .

whiteNoiseWhiteNoise

The white noise distribution of the recurrent relation.

Default is: the Normal distribution with zero mean and unit variance in dimension 1.

ARMAstateARMAState

The state of the ARMA process which will be extended to the next time stamps. The state is composed with $p$ values of the process and $q$ values of the white noise. This constructor is needed to get possible futures from the current state.

Notes

An ARMA process in dimension $d$ is defined by the linear recurrence :

$\vect{X}_t + \mat{A}_{\, 1} \, \vect{X}_{t-1} + \hdots + \mat{A}_{\, p} \, \vect{X}_{t-p} = \vect{\varepsilon}_{t}+ \mat{B}_ {\, 1} \, \vect{\varepsilon}_{t-1}+ \hdots + \mat{B}_{\, q} \, \vect{\varepsilon}_{t-q}$

where $\mat{A}_{\, i} \in \Rset^d \times \Rset^d$ and $\mat{B}_{\, j} \in \Rset^d \times \Rset^d$ .

In dimension 1, an ARMA process is defined by:

$X_t +a_1 X_{t-1} + \hdots + a_p X_{t-p} = \varepsilon_{t}+ b_1 \varepsilon_{t-1}+ \hdots +b_q \varepsilon_{t-q}$

where $(a_i,b_i) \in \Rset$ .

Examples

Create an ARMA(4,2) process:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> myTimeGrid = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 10)
>>> 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)

>>> myLastValues = ot.Sample([[0.6], [0.7], [0.3], [0.2]])
>>> myLastNoiseValues = ot.Sample([[1.2], [1.8]])
>>> myARMAState = ot.ARMAState(myLastValues, myLastNoiseValues)
>>> myARMAProcessWithState = ot.ARMA(myARCoef, myMACoef, myWhiteNoise, myARMAState)

Generate a realization:

>>> myTimeSeries = myARMAProcess.getContinuousRealization()

where $E[]$ is the integer part of a float and the $(r_i)_i$ are the roots of the polynomials (given here in dimension 1) :

or using an interpolation from a discrete realization of the process on $\cM$ : in dimension $d=1$ , a linear interpolation and in dimension $d \geq 2$ , a piecewise constant function (the value at a given position is equal to the value at the nearest vertex of the mesh of the process).

Notes

A stochastic process is normal if all its finite dimensional joint distributions are normal, which means that for all $k \in \Nset$ and $I_k \in \Nset^*$ , with $cardI_k=k$ , there is $\vect{m}_1, \dots, \vect{m}_k \in \Rset^d$ and $\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\in\mathcal{M}_{kd,kd}(\Rset)$ such that:

$\Expect{\exp\left\{i\Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} \vect{U}_{k} \right\}} = \exp{\left\{i\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\vect{M}_{k}-\frac{1}{2}\Tr{\vect{U}}_{k}\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}\vect{U}_{k}\right\}}$

where $\Tr{\vect{X}}_{I_k} = (\Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_1}, \hdots, \Tr{X}_{\vect{t}_k})$ , $\\Tr{vect{U}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{u}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{u}}_{k})$ and $\Tr{\vect{M}}_{k} = (\Tr{\vect{m}}_{1}, \hdots, \Tr{\vect{m}}_{k})$ and $\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k}$ is the symmetric matrix:

$\mat{C}_{1,\dots,k} = \left( \begin{array}{cccc} C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_1) &C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_2) & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_1, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \hdots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_2) & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_2, \vect{t}_{k}) \\ \hdots & \hdots & \hdots & \hdots \\ \hdots & \hdots & \hdots & C(\vect{t}_{k}, \vect{t}_{k}) \end{array} \right)$

A Gaussian process is entirely defined by its mean function $m$ and its covariance function $C$ (or correlation function $R$ ).

Test whether the process is stationary or not.

Returns:

isStationarybool: True if the process is stationary.

Notes

A process $X$ is stationary if its distribution is invariant by translation: $\forall k \in \Nset$ , $\forall (\vect{t}_1, \dots, \vect{t}_k) \in \cD$ , $\forall \vect{h}\in \Rset^n$ , we have:

$(X_{\vect{t}_1}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k}) \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{=} (X_{\vect{t}_1+\vect{h}}, \dots, X_{\vect{t}_k+\vect{h}})$
