pc.acf.parModel returns the autocovariances of a PAR model in
season-lag form with maximum lag equal to maxlag. If
maxlag is larger than the available precomputed
autocovariances, they missing ones are computed using the Yule-Walker
relations. Note that pc.acf.parModel
assumes that there are enough precomputed autocovariances to use the
Yule-Walker recursions directly.
TODO: pc.acf.parModel is tied to the old classes since it accesses
their slots. Could be used as a template to streamline the method for
autocovariances for class "PeriodicAutocovariance".
The season-lag form can be easily converted to other forms with the
powerful indexing operator, see the examples and slMatrix-class.
pcacfMat is a convenience function for statistical
inference. It creates a covariance matrix with dimension chosen
automatically. This covariance matrix is such that the asymptotic
covariance matrix of the estimated parameters can be obtained by dividing
sub-blocks by innovation variances and inverting them. See,
eq. (3.3) in the reference.
