Recall our framework:

Xt = N oise + Autoregressive P art + M oving Average P art

Xt = Zt + ϕ1 Xt−1 + … + ϕp Xt−p + θ1 Zt−1 + … + θq Zt−1

Θ(B)Zt = Φ(B)Xt

Θ(B)
Ψ(B) = Φ(B)

Θ(B)
Xt = Z
Φ(B) t
= Ψ(B)Zt

We develop an MA model for the mixed process

Xt = 0.5Xt−1 + Zt + 0.2Zt−1 .

Find Ψ(B) and use it to express the denominator as a geometric series.

1 + .5B + .25B 2 + .125B 3 + ⋯

Correct
Yes, that's terri c! We use

1+.2B
Ψ(B) = 1−.5B

and then express

1
1−.5B
= 1 + (.5B) + (.5B)2 + (.5B)3 + …

1 − (.5B) + (.5B)2 − (.5B)3 + …

Now multiply

and obtain an expression for Xt :

Ψ(B) = 1 + .7B + .35B 2 + .175B 3 + …

Correct
Good work. We multiply just as we regularly do for nite order polynomials.

Ψ(B) = 1 + .5B + .2B 2 + …

Finally, which ACF looks to be consistent with this process?

ACF1:

Correct
Good! The coe cients on the polynomial should decay rather quickly.
