TS_MAX_ARMA_AR Function [Aggregate]

Calculates the exact maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters in a univariate ARMA (autoregressive moving average) time series model, and returns the requested autoregressive estimate.

Syntax

TS_MAX_ARMA_AR (timeseries_expression, ar_count, ar_elem)
OVER (window-spec)

Licensing Prerequisites

Available only with RAP – The Trading Edition Enterprise.

Parameters

Usage

This function returns a double-precision floating-point value containing the autoregressive estimate. TS_MAX_ARMA_AR calls the function imsls_d_max_arma in the IMSL libraries.

IMSL Mapping

The arguments of TS_MAX_ARMA_AR map to the IMSL library function imsls_d_max_arma as follows:

params = imsls_d_max_arma(n_objs, z[], p, q, 0);

For detailed information on how the IMSL function imsls_d_max_arma performs time series calculations, see IMSL C Numerical Library User’s Guide: Volume 2 of 2 C Stat Library.

Example 1

This example shows a SQL statement containing the TS_MAX_ARMA_AR function and the data values returned by the function. This example uses the example input data table (called DATASET) as its input data.

The following SQL statement returns the second element from an array containing two autoregressive estimates of data from the data column:
select ts_max_arma_ar(data,2,2) over (order by rownum rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as res FROM DATASET

Sybase IQ returns 50 rows, each containing the same value:

Example 2

This example provides a sample query that returns two columns of results from the DATASET table—the first and second elements of the autoregressive estimates.
select ts_max_arma_ar(data,2,1) over (order by rownum rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as ar_elem1, ts_max_arma_ar(data,2,2) over (order by rownum rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as ar_elem2 FROM DATASET

Sybase IQ returns 50 rows of data, each containing the same two values:
