Course objectives
An advanced course of techniques for modeling of preferably discrete-time random processes. Standard contents involves modeling based on BJM (Box-Jenkins methodology), in particular AR, MA and ARMA modeling of stationary time series as well as ARIMA and SARIMA models for time series exhibiting nonstationarity in the mean. The exposition is preceded by a general introduction to the theory of discrete linear time invarinat (LTI) systems, their description via impulse response and transfer function, the notion of a recursive LTI system, conditions for causality and stability. Afterwards ARMA models can be transparently presented as a stochastic analogy of a recusrsive LTI system. The above standard material may be modified according to the specialization of the students in the current academic year. Exercises to the lecture are located in a computer lab and use MATLAB computing environment allowing the students to get the basic practical skill. They can run demo scripts related to individual topics of the lectures as well as fit models to simulated and real data using a variety of universal procedures. The implemented algorithms are fully transparent to the students and yield unlimited opportunity for their creativity.
Syllabus
  • Linear systems: definition, linear and cyclic convolution, causality and stability, impulse and frequency response, FIR and IIR linear systems.
  • The best linear prediction: Hilbert space \( L^2(\Omega,\cal{A},P) \), the best linear prediction as orthogonal projection, Durbin-Levinson algorithm, partial autocorrelation function.
  • Box-Jenkins methodology (BJM): the series \( Y_t = \sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}\psi_j X_{t-j} \), the general convergence theorem and its application to a stationary process including the computation of its mean and autocovariance function, general principles for modeling unkonown system.
  • ARMA processes as a special case of BJM: causality and invertibility, methods for the computation of the coefficients of the causal and inverted representation and of the autocovariance function of an ARMA$(p,q)$ process.
  • Searching an ARMA model: AR and MA models as a more simple case, identification, parameter estimation and verification, asymptotic properties of estimates.
  • SARIMA processes as a special case of BJM: ARIMA models as a more simple case, identification, parameter estimation and verification.
  • Note: Computer-aided exercises are supported by the system MATLAB.
