ArmaProcess.acovf()

statsmodels.tsa.arima_process.ArmaProcess.acovf

ArmaProcess.acovf(nobs=None) [source]

theoretical autocovariance function of ARMA process

Parameters:	ar : array_like, 1d coefficient for autoregressive lag polynomial, including zero lag ma : array_like, 1d coefficient for moving-average lag polynomial, including zero lag nobs : int number of terms (lags plus zero lag) to include in returned acovf
Returns:	acovf : array autocovariance of ARMA process given by ar, ma

Notes

Tries to do some crude numerical speed improvements for cases with high persistance. However, this algorithm is slow if the process is highly persistent and only a few autocovariances are desired.
