What are the Yule-Walker equations?

The Yule-Walker equations are the building block of the linear AR model, connecting its parameters to the covariance function of the process. The model parameters are therefore estimated from the covariances of the time series. Forecasting can be considered by applying the resulting predictive model.

How do you calculate AR coefficient?

Fortunately, there is a better, easier way to obtain the AR coefficient for the arbitrary p, the Yule-Walker Equations. Consider the general AR(p) xi+1 = φ1xi + φ2xi−1 + ··· + φpxi−p+1 + ξi+1.

Is an AR 1 process stationary?

The AR(1) process is stationary if only if |φ| < 1 or −1 <φ< 1. This is a non-stationary explosive process. If we combine all the inequalities we obtain a region bounded by the lines φ2 =1+ φ1; φ2 = 1 − φ1; φ2 = −1.
