This is a time series\optimization rather than an R question : Suppose I have an ARMA(1,1) with restrictions such that the coefficient on the lagged epsilon_term is related to the coefficient on The lagged z term as below.
z_t =[A + beta]*z_t-1 + epsilon_t - A*epsilon_t-1 So, if I don't have a facility for optimizing with this restriction, is it legal to set A to something and then Optimize just for the beta given the A ? Would this give me the same answer likelihood wise, of optimizing both jointly with the restriction ? This methodology doesn't sound right to me. Thanks. P.S : abs(A + beta) also has to be less than 1 but I was just going to hope for that and not worry about it right now. -------------------------------------------------------- This is not an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to buy/se...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
