For regularly-spaced observations with the Gaussian autocorrelation function, the finite and infinite autoregressive and moving-average representations can be obtained theoretically. This allows exact Gaussian maximum likelihood to be performed very accurately, and gives a simple exact simulation method.
Key Words: Gaussian maximum likelihood; simulation; spatial lattice process; stationary Gaussian process; time series
