In this article, we investigate spectrum estimation of law order moving average (MA) process. The main tool is the lag window which is one of the important components of the consistent form to estimate spectral density function (SDF). We show, based on a computer simulation, that the Blackman window is the best lag window to estimate the SDF of MA1 and MA2 at the most values of parameters βi and series sizes n, except for a special case when β=−1 and n≥40 in MA1. In addition, the Hanning–Poisson window appears as the best to estimate the SDF of MA2 when β1=β2=−0.5 and n≥40.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
