ARMA_ERRORS - Estimated Errors of the Parameters Values

Returns an array of cells for the estimated error/standard deviation of the model's parameters.

Syntax

ARMA_ERRORS ([x], order, µ, σ, [φ], [θ])

[X]

Required. Is the univariate time series data (a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g., rows or columns)).

Order

Optional. Is the time order in the data series (i.e., the first data point's corresponding date (earliest date = 1 (default), latest date = 0)).

Value	Order
1	Ascending (the first data point corresponds to the earliest date) (default).
0	Descending (the first data point corresponds to the latest date).

µ

Optional. Is the ARMA model long-run mean (i.e., mu). If missing, the process mean is assumed to be zero.

σ

Required. Is the standard deviation value of the model's residuals/innovations.

[φ]

Optional. Are the parameters of the AR(p) component model: [φ1, φ2 … φp] (starting with the lowest lag).

[θ]

Optional. Are the parameters of the MA(q) component model: [θ1, θ2 … θq] (starting with the lowest lag).

Remarks

1. The underlying model is described here.
2. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
3. The time series may include missing values (e.g., #N/A) at either end.
