Box-Jenkins and related extrapolation methods

47 Views Asked by At

I have been reading ARMA MODELS AND THE BOX JENKINS METHODOLOGY by S. MAKRIDAKIS AND M. HISON 95/45/TM .

I seem to be just a little stuck on the idea of using "trends". I think of a "trend" as a $y$ intercept and a slope. They state in eq. 4, that $$T_t = a + bt$$ So, I get $a$ is the $y$ intercept and $b$ is the slope. When they then say:

$$T'(t,L)= S_t + \sum_{i=1}^L \phi^i T' _{t-L}$$

Neglecting $S$, does this mean then:

$$a'(T,L)= \sum_{i=1}^L \phi^i a'_{t-L}$$

and

$$b'(T,L)=\sum_{i=1}^L \phi^i b'_{t-L}$$

?? is that all?
