Let {Y} be a stationary process with mean zero and let a and b be constants. If Xt = a + bt + St + Yt, where St is a seasonal component with period 12, show that V[12Xt (1 - B)(1 - B^12)Xt] is stationary and express its autocovariance function in terms of that of {Y}.

Step 1
Now, we want to apply the differencing operators $(1 - B)$ and $(1 - B^{12})$ to $X_t$. Let's apply them one by one. Show more…

Let Xt = a + bt + Yt, where a and b are nonzero constants and Yt is a stationary time series. (i) Show that {Xt} is not stationary. (ii) Let ΔXt = Xt - Xt-1. Show that {ΔXt} is stationary. (iii) Determine the autocovariances of {ΔXt} in terms of those of {Yt}. (iv) Now suppose that {Yt} is a MA(1) process so that Yt = εt + βεt-1 Write down an equation for ΔXt in terms of b, β, εt and B, the backward shift operator. (v) Show that Var(ΔXt) ≥ Var(Yt).

(a) Let {Xt} be stationary. Define Yt as follows: if t is even, then Yt = Xt; if t is odd, then Yt = Xt + 2. (i) Determine Cov(Yt, Yt-k). (ii) Is {Yt} stationary? Why? (b) Let Xt = εt - εt-1^2 where εt ~ N(0, σ^2). (i) Determine the covariance function of Xt. (ii) Is {Xt} stationary?

Consider the time series xt = β1 + β2t + wt, where β1 and β2 are known constants and wt is a white noise process with variance σ^2w. (a) Determine whether xt is stationary. (b) Show that the process yt = xt − xt−1 is stationary. (c) Show that the mean of the moving average vt = (1/2q + 1) * ∑(q, j=-q) xt−j is β1 + β2t, and give a simplified expression for the autocovariance function.
