We derive the relation between the biases of correlograms and of estimates of auto-regressive AR(k) representations of stationary series, and we illustrate it with a simple AR example. The new relation allows for k to vary with the sample size, which is a representation that can be used for most...

Let (<italic>X</italic>₁) be a discrete multivariate Gaussian autoregressive process of order 1. The paper derives the exact finite-sample joint moment generating function (m.g.f.) of the three quadratic forms constituting the sufficient statistic of the process. The formula is then specialized to some cases of...

Let {X_{t}} follow a discrete Gaussian Vector Auto-Regression with deterministic components. We derive the exact finite-sample joint Moment Generating Function (MGF) of the quadratic forms that form the basis for the sufficient statistic. The formula is then specialized to the limiting MGF of...

Let {X_{t}} be a discrete multivariate Gaussian autoregressive process of order 1. The paper derives the exact finite-sample joint moment generating function (mgf) of the three quadratic forms constituting the sufficient statistic of the process. The formula is then specialized to some cases of...
