gen_ma1: Generate an Moving Average Order 1 (MA(1)) Process

In simts: Time Series Analysis Tools

Generate an Moving Average Order 1 (MA(1)) Process

Description

Generate an MA(1) Process given \theta and \sigma^2.

Usage

gen_ma1(N, theta = 0.3, sigma2 = 1)

Arguments

N	An integer for signal length.
theta	A double that contains moving average.
sigma2	A double that contains process variance.

Details

The function implements a way to generate the x_t values without calling the general ARMA function.

Value

A vec containing the MA(1) process.

Process Definition

The Moving Average order 1 (MA(1)) process with non-zero parameter \theta \in (-1,+1) and \sigma^2 \in {\rm I\!R}^{+}. This process is defined as:

{x_t} = {\varepsilon_t} + {\theta _1}{\varepsilon_{t - 1}}

, where

{\varepsilon_t}\mathop \sim \limits^{iid} N\left( {0,\sigma^2} \right)

Generation Algorithm

The function first generates a vector of white noise using gen_wn and then obtains the MA values under the above equation.

The X_0 (first value of X_t) is discarded.
