What is the equation for ARIMA(1,1,1)?

The equation for ARIMA(1,1,1) is Zt=ϕ1Zt−1+θ1ϵt−1+ϵtZ_t = \phi_1 Z_{t-1} + \theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1} + \epsilon_t, where ZtZ_t is the differenced series, ϕ1\phi_1 is the autoregressive coefficient, θ1\theta_1 is the moving-average coefficient, and ϵt\epsilon_t is the error term.

Conditions

  • The model is ARIMA(1,1,1).
  • ZtZ_t is the first difference of the original series qtq_t.
  • p=1,d=1,q=1p=1, d=1, q=1.

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Identify the parameters: p=1p=1 (AR order), d=1d=1 (differencing order), q=1q=1 (MA order).
  2. Define the modeled variable ZtZ_t as the first difference qt+1−qtq_{t+1} - q_t.
  3. Write the AR term: ϕ1Zt−1\phi_1 Z_{t-1}.
  4. Write the MA term: θ1ϵt−1\theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1}.
  5. Add the current error term: ϵt\epsilon_t.
  6. Combine them into the full equation: Zt=ϕ1Zt−1+θ1ϵt−1+ϵtZ_t = \phi_1 Z_{t-1} + \theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1} + \epsilon_t.

Example

The board displays the completed equation Zt=ϕ1Zt−1+θ1ϵt−1+ϵtZ_t = \phi_1 Z_{t-1} + \theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1} + \epsilon_t. The speaker identifies ϕ1Zt−1\phi_1 Z_{t-1} as the autoregressive bit and θ1ϵt−1\theta_1 \epsilon_{t-1} as the moving average bit.

Common misconceptions

  • Using the original series qtq_t instead of the differenced series ZtZ_t in the equation.
  • Omitting the current error term ϵt\epsilon_t.
  • Confusing the coefficients ϕ1\phi_1 and θ1\theta_1.
