On the inverse of the covariance matrix for an autoregressive-moving average process
Carnegie-Mellon University
The problem of inverting the covariance matrix
T of T sucoessive observations from an autoregressive-moving average process of order (p, q) is discussed. The inverse is obtained for a moving average process (p = 0). An explicit expression is given for the elements of
1T for a process of order (0, 2).
