Vector Autoregressive Models:

Vector autoregressive models describe statistical properties of vector time series . Vector autoregressive models generalize the models used in ordinary autoregression .

Consider a vector time series :


V(1), V(2), ...

In general, vector autoregressive models assume the some functional relation between the current value V(i) and N previous values:


V(i) = F(V(i-1), V(i-2), ..., V(i-N)) + n(i),

where F() is a vector function of N vector arguments, n(i) is a vector of additive noise. The integer N here is called the order of the autoregressive model.
