Can you show me an example of an ARIMA(1,1,1) model and its equations?

An ARIMA(1,1,1) model consists of taking a first difference of the original series and then fitting an ARMA(1,1) model to the resulting differenced series. The equations are Yt−Yt−1=WtY_t - Y_{t-1} = W_t and Wt=ω+ϕ1Wt−1+θ1et−1+etW_t = \omega + \phi_1 W_{t-1} + \theta_1 e_{t-1} + e_t.

Conditions

  • p=1p=1 (one AR term)
  • d=1d=1 (one first difference)
  • q=1q=1 (one MA term)

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Apply first-order differencing (d=1d=1) to the original time series YtY_t to obtain the stationary series WtW_t.
  2. Model the differenced series WtW_t using an ARMA(1,1) process, incorporating one AR term (p=1p=1) and one MA term (q=1q=1).

Example

Slide displays ARIMA(1,1,1) with equations Yt−Yt−1=WtY_t - Y_{t-1} = W_t and Wt=ω+ϕ1Wt−1+θ1et−1+etW_t = \omega + \phi_1 W_{t-1} + \theta_1 e_{t-1} + e_t. Speaker explains that for an ARIMA(1,1,1), we first take a difference (d=1d=1) to go from Y to W, then have a lag of W(p=1)W (p=1), and a lag of error (q=1q=1).

Common misconceptions

  • Thinking the ARMA equation is applied directly to YtY_t.
  • Confusing the differenced series WtW_t with the original series YtY_t.
