Bilinear Autoregressive Moving Average Vector (BARMAV) Models are models aggregated with the linear and non-linear vector components of autoregressive and moving average processes. The linear part is the sum of the two vector processes, while the non-linear part is the product of the processes. From the general BARMAV models, Bilinear Autoregressive Vector (BARV) Models and Bilinear Moving Average Vector (BMAV) Models have been isolated. Under certain conditions, the models are proved to exist. Empirically, Nigerian consumer price index and inflation rate are used to test the fitness of the bilinear models. Data for the analysis are from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, collected from January 2009 to December 2016 with November 2009 as the base year for each of the series. The bilinear autoregressive moving average vector models are fitted to the data. Parameters are tested and found to be significant. The adequacy of each estimated model is confirmed with ACF, PACF and descriptive statistics adopted in the paper. The plots of the actual and fitted CPI and IR have shown that models are adequate as estimates compete favourably with the actual values. The models are useful in modelling some economic and financial data that exhibit some characteristics of non-linearity.
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.
