Suppose in Example 4 that after flipping the nickel and dime 1 , 000 times, we find that HH turns up 273 times, HT turns up 206 times, TH turns up 312 times, and TT turns up 209 times. On the basis of this evidence, we assign probabilities to the simple events in S as follows: This is an acceptable and reasonable probability assignment for the simple events in S . What are the probabilities of the following events? A E 1 = getting at least 1 tail . B E 2 = getting 2 tails . C E 3 = getting at least 1 head or at least 1 tail

3. (a) Let {} be a white noise process with variance σ2.
Define an ARMA(p,q) process {X} in terms of {+} and state (without proof)
conditions for {X} to be (i) weakly stationary and (ii) invertible.
Define what is meant by an ARIMA (p, d, q) process. Let {Y} be such an ARIMA(p, d, q)
process and show how it can also be represented as an ARMA process, giving the
AR and MA orders of this representation.
(b) The following tables show the first nine sample autocorrelations and partial auto-
correlations of X and Y₁ = VX+ for a series of n = 1095 observations. (Notice
that the notation in this part has no relationship with the notation in part (a) of
this question.)
Identify a model for this time series and obtain preliminary estimates for the pa-
rameters of your model.

1. (a) Define the terms "strongly stationary" and "weakly stationary".
Let {X} be a stochastic process defined for all t € Z. Assuming that {X+} is
weakly stationary, define the autocorrelation function (acf) Pk, for lag k.
What conditions must a process {X+) satisfy for it to be white noise?
(b) Let N(0, 1) for t€ Z, with the {+} being mutually independent. Which of
the following processes {X+} are weakly stationary for t> 0? Briefly justify your
answers.
i. Xt for all > 0.
ii. Xo~N(0,) and X₁ = 2X+-1+ &t for t > 0.
(c) Provide an expression for estimating the autocovariance function for a sample
X1,..., X believed to be from a weakly stationary process. How is the autocor-
relation function Pk then estimated, and a correlogram (or acf plot) constructed?
(d) Consider the weakly stationary stochastic process ✗+ = + + +-1+ +-2 where
{E} is a white noise process with variance 1. Compute the population autocorre-
lation function Pk for all k = 0, 1, ....
