\usage{
arima0(x, order = c(0, 0, 0),
       seasonal = list(order = c(0, 0, 0), period = NA),
       xreg = NULL, include.mean, na.action = na.fail,
       delta = 0.01, transform.pars = 2)

predict(arima0.obj, n.ahead = 1, newxreg, se.fit = TRUE)

arima0.diag(fit, gof.lag = 10) 
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a univariate time series}

  \item{order}{A specification of the non-seasonal part of the ARIMA
    model: the three components are (p, d, q), the AR order, the degree
    of differencing and the MA order.}

  \item{seasonal}{A specification of the seasonal part of the ARIMA
    model, plus the period (which defaults to \code{frequency(x)}).}

  \item{xreg}{Optionally, a vector or matrix of external regressors,
    which must have the same number of rows as \code{x}.}

  \item{include.mean}{Should the ARIMA model include
    a mean term? The default is \code{TRUE} for undifferenced series,
    \code{FALSE} for differenced ones (where a mean would not affect
    the fit nor predictions).}

  \item{na.action}{Function to be applied to remove missing values.}

  \item{delta}{A value to indicate at which point `fast recursions'
    should be used. See the Details section.}

  \item{transform.pars}{If greater than 0, the ARMA parameters are
    transformed to ensure that they remain in the region of
    invertibility. If equal to 2, the optimization is rerun on
    the original scale to find the Hessian.}

  \item{arima0.obj, fit}{The result of an \code{arima0} fit.}

  \item{newxreg}{New values of \code{xreg} to be used for
    prediction. Must have at least \code{n.ahead} rows.}

  \item{n.ahead}{The number of steps ahead for which prediction is required.}
  
  \item{se.fit}{Logical: should standard errors of prediction be returned?}

  \item{gof.lag}{Number of lags to be used in goodness-of-fit test.}
}
\description{
  Fit an ARIMA model to a univariate time series by exact maximum
  likelihood, and forecast from the fitted model.
}
\details{
  Different definitions of ARIMA models have different signs for the
  AR and/or MA coefficients. The definition here has

  \deqn{X_t = a_1X_{t-1} + \cdots + a_pX_{t-p} + e_t + b_1e_{t-1} + \dots + b_qe_{t-q}}{\code{X[t] = a[1]X[t-1] + \dots + a[p]X[t-p] + e[t] + b[1]e[t-1] + \dots + b[q]e[t-q]}}

  and so the MA coefficients differ in sign from those of
  S-PLUS. Further, if \code{include.mean} is true, this formula
  applies to \eqn{X-m} rather than \eqn{X}.
    
  The exact likelihood is computed via a state-space representation of
  the ARMA process, and the innovations and their variance found by a
  Kalman filter using the Fortran code of Gardener \emph{et al.}
  (1980).  This has the option to switch to `fast recursions' (assume
  an effectively infinite past) if the innovations variance is close
  enough to its asymptotic bound. The argument \code{delta} sets the
  tolerance: at its default value the approximation is normally
  negligible and the speed-up considerable. Exact computations can be
  ensured by setting \code{delta} to a negative value.

  The variance matrix of the estimates is found from the Hessian of
  the log-likelihood, and so may only be a rough guide, especially for
  fits close to the boundary of invertibility.

  Optimization is (currently) done by \code{\link{nlm}}. It will work
  best if the columns in \code{xreg} are roughly scaled to zero mean
  and unit variance.

  Finite-history prediction is used. This is only statistically
  efficient if the MA part of the fit is invertible, so
  \code{predict.arima0} will give a warning for non-invertible MA
  models.
}
\value{
  For \code{arima0}, a list of class \code{"arima0"} with components:

  \item{coef}{a vector of AR, MA and regression coefficients,}

  \item{sigma2}{the MLE of the innovations variance.}

  \item{var.coef}{the estimated variance matrix of the coefficients
    \code{coef}. If \code{transform.pars = 1}, only the portion
    corresponding to the untransformed parameters is returned.}

  \item{loglik}{the maximized log-likelihood (of the differenced data).}

  \item{arma}{A compact form of the specification, as a vector giving
    the number of AR, MA, seasonal AR and seasonal MA coefficients,
    plus the period and the number of non-seasonal and seasonal
    differences.}

  \item{aic}{the AIC value corresponding to the log-likelihood.}

  \item{resid}{the residuals.}

  \item{call}{the matched call.}

  \item{series}{the name of the series \code{x}.}

  \item{convergence}{the value returned by \code{\link{optim}}.}

  For \code{predict.arima0}, a time series of predictions, or if
  \code{se.fit = TRUE}, a list with components \code{pred}, the
  predictions, and \code{se}, the estimated standard errors. Both
  components are time series.

\note{
  This is a preliminary version, and will be replaced in due course.

  The standard errors of prediction exclude the uncertainty in the
  estimation of the ARMA model and the regression coefficients.
  
  The results are likely to be different from S-PLUS's
  \code{arima.mle}, which computes a conditional likelihood and does
  not include a mean in the model. Further, the convention used by
  \code{arima.mle} reverses the signs of the MA coefficients.
