Hi: I don't have time to look at the details of what you're doing but the "equivalence" between state space and arima ( as paul gilbert pointed out a few weeks ago ) is not a true equivalence. if you are in an area of the parameter space that the state space formulation can't reach, then you won

Dear list users, I want to use apply a MA(2) process (x=beta1*epsilon_(t-1) + beta2*epsilon_(t-1) + epsilon_(t)) to a given time series (x), and I want to estimate the two parameters beta1, beta2 and the variance of the random variable epsilon_(t). If I use MA2_1 <- Arima(x, order=c(0,0,2)) I g
