- Refer to page 83 for a vector field problem requiring verification of conservative nature and finding a scalar potential function. Instructions: Focus strictly on verifying conditions for conservativeness and solving for the potential function. Show all work step-by-step.

Below is the code and output for an analysis of these data in R, with the sales data stored in the time series object X. Explain what is being done at points (i)-(iv) in the R code. Explain what is the difference between (v) and (vi) in the R code. Explain, giving reasons, which of (v) and (vi) is preferable. Write out the model with estimated parameters in full. (The relevant points in the R code are denoted #2#2#3#23 (i) #### etc.) Given that the sales for the four quarters of 2018 were 721, 935, 649, and 1071, use model-based forecasting to predict sales for the first quarter of 2019. (A point forecast is sufficient; you do not need to calculate a prediction interval.) Suggest one change to the fitted model which would improve the analysis. (You can assume that the choice of stochastic process at (v) in the R code is the correct one for these data.) 2010 2012 2014 Time 2016 Figure 1:…arrow_forward2. Let {X} be a moving average process of order q (usually written as MA(q)) defined on tЄ Z as where {et} is a white noise process with variance 1. (1) (a) Show that for any MA(1) process with B₁ 1 there exists another MA(1) pro- cess with the same autocorrelation function, and find the lag 1 moving average coefficient (say) of this process. (b) For an MA(2) process, equation (1) becomes X=&t+B₁et-1+ B2ɛt-2- (2) i. Define the backshift operator B, and write equation (2) in terms of a polyno- mial function B(B), giving a clear definition of this function. ii. Hence show that equation (2) can be written as an infinite order autoregressive process under certain conditions on B(B), clearly stating these conditions.arrow_forward

Assuming the standard notation used in this module, what do each of the terms Xt, u(t), s(t) and & represent? In a plot of X against t, what features would you look for to determine whether the terms μ(t) and s(t) are required? Explain why μ(t) and s(t) are functions of t, whilst t is a subscript in X and εt.arrow_forward
