NDK_ARMA_SIM

int __stdcall NDK_ARMA_SIM ( double  mean,
double  sigma,
double *  phis,
size_t  p,
double *  thetas,
size_t  q,
double *  pData,
size_t  nSize,
UINT  nSeed,
double *  retArray,
size_t  nSteps 
)

Returns an array of cells for the simulated values.

Returns
status code of the operation
Return values
NDK_SUCCESS  Operation successful
NDK_FAILED  Operation unsuccessful. See Macros for full list.
Parameters
[in] mean  is the ARMA model mean (i.e. mu).
[in] sigma  is the standard deviation of the model's residuals/innovations.
[in] phis  are the parameters of the AR(p) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
[in] p is the number of elements in phis (order of AR component)
[in] thetas  are the parameters of the MA(q) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
[in] q is the number of elements in thetas (order of MA component)
[in] pData  are the values of the latest (most recent) observations
[in] nSize  is the number elements in pData
[in] nSeed  is a number to initialize the psuedorandom number generator.
[out] retArray  is the output array to hold nSteps future simulations
[in] nSteps  is the number of future steps to simulate for.
Remarks
  1. The underlying model is described here.
  2. NDK_ARMA_SIM returns an array of one simulation path starting from the end of the input data.
  3. The input data argument (i.e. latest observations) is optional. If omitted, an array of zeroes is assumed.
  4. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
  5. The time series may include missing values (e.g. NaN) at either end.
  6. The long-run mean can take any value or be omitted, in which case a zero value is assumed.
  7. The residuals/innovations standard deviation (sigma) must be greater than zero.
  8. For the input argument - phi:
    • The input argument is optional and can be omitted, in which case no AR component is included.
    • The order of the parameters starts with the lowest lag.
    • The order of the AR component model is solely determined by the order of the last value in the array with a numeric value (vs. missing or error).
  9. For the input argument - theta:
    • The input argument is optional and can be omitted, in which case no MA component is included.
    • The order of the parameters starts with the lowest lag.
    • One or more values in the input argument can be missing or an error code (i.e. #NUM!, #VALUE!, etc.).
    • The order of the MA component model is solely determined by the order of the last value in the array with a numeric value (vs. missing or error).
