fit.ar.par: Fit an Autoregressive or Periodic Autoregressive Model
In partsm: Periodic Autoregressive Time Series Models

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

This function fits either an autoregressive (AR) or a periodic autoregressive (PAR) model and extract the estimates for the autoregressive or periodic autoregressive coefficients.

1 2	fit.ar.par (wts, type, detcomp, p)

`wts`	a univariate time series object.
`type`	A character string indicating whether the model to fit is an autoregressive model, `"AR"`, or a periodic autoregressive model, `"PAR"`.
`detcomp`	deterministic components to include in the model. Three types of regressors can be included: regular deterministic components, seasonal deterministic components, and any regressor variable previously defined by the user. This argument must be a list object with the following elements: `regular=c(0,0,0)`, if the first and second element are set equal to 1, it indicates that an intercept, and/or linear trend, respectively, are included. The third element in `regular` is a vector indicating which seasonal dummies should be included. If no seasonal dummies are desired it must be set equal to zero. For example, `regular=c(1,0,c(1,2,3))` would include an intercept, no trend, and the first three seasonal dummies; `seasonal=c(0,0)`, if an element is set equal to 1, it indicates that seasonal intercepts, and/or seasonal trends, respectively, are included in the model; `regvar=0`, if none regressor variables are considered, this object must be set equal to zero, otherwise, the names of a matrix object previously defined should be indicated.
`p`	the lag order of the model.

If type is "AR" the following model is estimated by ordinary least squares:

y_t = φ_{1} y_{t-1} + φ_{2} y_{t-2} + ... + φ_{p} y_{t-p} + ε_t.

If type is "PAR", the following model is estimated by ordinary least squares:

y_t = α_{1s} y_{t-1} + α_{2s} y_{t-2} + ... + α_{ps} y_{t-p} + ε_t,

for s=1,...,S, where S is the periodicity of the time series.
Deterministic components can be added to models above. Be careful when defining the detcomp argument. To include an intercept and seasonal intercepts, or a regular trend with seasonal trends, will cause multicollinearity problems.

A fit.partsm-class class object reporting the estimates of the autoregressive or periodic autoregressive coefficients. See fit.partsm-class to check further information available from this class via the methods show and summary.
