This paper introduces a flexible new class of time series models generated by the vector Gegenbauer autoregressive moving average structure. We establish existence and uniqueness of second order solutions under certain regularity conditions. Following a simulation study, we provide evidence that supports parsimonious properties of the model building and applications.From (2), it is clear that the long memory features are characterized by the unbounded spectrum at ! D ! g D cos 1 .Á/, when jÁj < 1 and d > 0. Therefore, (1) is stationary and explains a generalized long memory behaviour when jÁj < 1 and 0 < d < 1=2. The frequency ! g is known as the Gegenbauer frequency. It is obvious that when Á D 1, ! g D 0 and then (1) reduces to a standard long memory ARFIMA with index 2d for 0 < d < 1=4. In both cases, it is clear to see that there is a hyperbolic decay of the autocorrelation function (ACF). In their recent papers, Peiris (2008, 2013) have considered an alternative family of generalized fractional processes given by
