Abstract

The problem can be reduced to the statistical treatment of linear stochastic difference equations and the estimation of distributed lags. A simple illustration for the moment- generating functions of the noncircular serial correlation coefficient is given in the case of linear stochastic difference equation without exogenous variables and also when the linear model contains an intercept term.
