Mathematica Supplements

The functions in this paper are implemented in the Mathematica package FitARMA.  This package requires also the package ARBuild.  Both of these packages require Mathematica Version 5.2 or above.  To install these packages simply copy them to your Applications directory where Mathematica is installed -- for example on many computers this is:

C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\5.2\AddOns\Applications

Download these files:  FitARMA.m and ARBuild.m

Notebooks which illustrate the use of these packages:

bulletInput some data from a file and fit some ARMA models
bulletSimulate and fit some time series
bulletObtain Mathematica timings for fitting ARMA model
bulletObtain the sample mean efficiency
bulletConvergence to normal distribution
