Description
Routine IRNSE estimates the impulse response weights and noise series of a transfer function model given a sample of n = NOBS observations of the input {xt} and output {yt} for t = 1, 2, …, n. Define {xt} and {yt}, respectively, by
and
where {Xt} and {Yt} for t = (d + 1), …, n represent the undifferenced input and output series with
estimates of their respective means. The differenced input and output series may be obtained using the routine DIFF following any preliminary transformation of the data.
The transfer function model is defined by
Yt = ν(B)Xt + Nt
or, equivalently,
yt = ν(B)xt + nt
with transfer function
ν(B) = ν0 + ν1B + ν2B2 +
and differenced noise series nt = dNt.
The prewhitened input and output series are computed for t = (p + 1), …, n according to
αt = ɸ(B)xt + θ1(B) αt
βt = ɸ(B)yt + θ1(B) βt
where
ɸ(B) = 1 ɸ1B ɸ2B2 ɸpBp
θ(B) = θ1B + θ2B2 + + θqBq
The parameters of the prewhitening transformation may be estimated roughly using the routine NSPE or more precisely using the routine NSLSE. The correlation relationship between {αt}, { βt}, and {nt} may be further examined using the routines ACF, PACF, and CCF.
The impulse response weightsνk} are estimated by
where K = MWTIR,
denote the standard deviation of { αt} and { βt};
represents the cross‑correlation function between {αt} and { βt}. The differenced noise series {nt} for t = (Kʹ + 1), …, n is reconstructed using the model
where Kʹ = MWTSN.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of I2NSE/DI2NSE. The reference is:
CALL I2NSE (NOBS, X, Y, IPRINT, NPAR, PAR, NPMA, PMA, MWTIR, MWTSN, WTIR, SNOISE, XPW, YPW, ACPWX, ACPWY, CCPW)
The additional arguments are as follows:
ACPWX — Vector of length MWTIR + 1 containing the estimated autocorrelation function of PWX. (Output)
ACPWY — Vector of length MWTIR + 1 containing the estimated autocorrelation function of PWY. (Output)
CCPW — Vector of length 2 * MWTIR + 1 containing the estimated cross‑correlation function of PWX and PWY. (Output)
2. The input series X and output series Y are assumed to be the result of transforming and differencing the raw input and output series. The routines BCTR and DIFF may be used, respectively, to perform a Box‑Cox transformation and difference the raw input and output series.
3. Note that the prewhitened input and output are computed at time t = NPAR + 1 through t = NOBS. Also, the noise series is computed at time t = MWTSN + 1 through t = NOBS.
Example
Consider the Gas Furnace Data (Box and Jenkins 1976, pages 532–533) where X is the input gas rate in cubic feet/minute and Y is the percent CO2 in the outlet gas. Application of routine IRNSE to these data produces the following results:
