Similar to ARXff
,
this family function fits an order–q
moving average model
with covariates (MAX(q)),
another special case of the class VGLM–ARIMA
(Miranda and Yee, 2018). Observations, Y_t
, are
modelled as
Y_t | \Phi_{t - 1} = \mu_t + \phi_{1} \varepsilon_{t - 1} +
\ldots + \phi_q \varepsilon_{t - q} + \varepsilon_t,
where \mu_t
is the (possibly time–dependent) intercept,
modelled as
\mu_t = \mu + \boldsymbol{\beta}^T \boldsymbol{x}_t
, and
the errors are mean–zero Gaussian:
\varepsilon_t | \Phi_{t - 1} \sim
N(0, \sigma^2_{\varepsilon_t | \Phi_{t - 1}})
.
The symbol
\Phi_{t}
denotes the history
of the joint process
\left(Y_{t}, \boldsymbol{X}_{t + 1}^T \right)
,
at time t
for a time–varying covariate
vector \boldsymbol{x}_t
.
At each step of Fisher scoring, the exact log-likelihood
based on model above
is computed through dMAq
.
The linear predictor by default is
\boldsymbol{\eta} = \left(
\mu_t, \log \sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon_{t | \Phi_{t - 1}}},
\phi_1, \ldots, \phi_q
\right)^T.
The unconditional mean of the process is simply
E(Y_{t}) = \mu
, provided no covariates added.
This family function
is not restricted to the noise to be strictly white noise
(in the sense of constant variance).
That is, covariates may be incorporated in the linear predictor
\log \sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon_{t | \Phi_{t - 1}}}.
Also, it handles
multiple responses so that a matrix can be used as the response.

such as logitlink
, refer to

.
An object of class "vglmff"
(see vglmff-class
) to be
used by VGLM/VGAM modelling functions, e.g.,
vglm
or vgam
.
By default, a moving-average model of order-1
is fitted.
If different, the order
is recycled up to the number of responses
entered in the vglm \ vgam
call has been matched.
Successful convergence depends on reasonably setting initial values. If
initial values computed by the algorithm are not adequate, make use of
the the optional initial values (imean
, isd
, etc.)
For constraints on the paramaters see
cm.ARMA
.
Further choices for the random noise, besides Gaussian, will be implemented over time.
zero
can be either an integer vector
or a vector of character strings
specifying either the position(s) or name(s) (partially or not) of the
parameter(s) modeled as intercept-only. For MAXff
,
the parameters are placed and named as follows (by convention):
c("Mean", "noiseVar" or "noiseSD", "MAcoeff")
.
Users can modify the zero
argument accordingly.
For simplicity, the second choice recommended.
See CommonVGAMffArguments
for further details on zero
.
If no constraints are entered in the fitting process,
(e.g., via cm.ARMA
)
this family function internally verifies by default
whether the estimated series
is invertible (since noChecks = FALSE
).
To ignore this step, set noChecks = TRUE
.
If the estimated MA process is non-invertible, MLE
coefficients will conform with the corresponding
invertible MA model.
Further details about these checks are shown within
the summary()
output.
