ARIMA(1‚1‚1) b) Determine whether the process is stationary‚ causal‚ invertible. • The process is stationary if all roots of ϕ(z) are off of the unit circle. ϕ(z) = (1 − z)(1 − 0.2z) = 0 =⇒ z = 1‚ 5 Because ϕ(z) has root z = 1‚ which lies on the unit circle‚ the process is not stationary . • The process is causal if all roots of ϕ(z) are outside of the unit circle. Because ϕ(z) has one root z = 1‚ which lies on the unit circle‚ the process is not causal
