ABSTRACT

Among the stationary time series models discussed in the preceding

chapter, very efficient estimation methods can be derived for AR mod-

els. This chapter presents methods for estimating the parameters of the

AR model by the Yule-Walker method, the least squares method and the

PARCOR method. A method of determining the order of the AR model

using the AIC is also shown. In addition, the Yule-Walker method and

the least squares method for parameter estimation of the multivariate AR

model are shown.
