# statsmodels.regression.linear_model.yule_walker¶

statsmodels.regression.linear_model.yule_walker(x, order=1, method='unbiased', df=None, inv=False, demean=True)[source]

Estimate AR(p) parameters from a sequence using the Yule-Walker equations.

Unbiased or maximum-likelihood estimator (mle)

Parameters
xarray_like

A 1d array.

orderint, optional

The order of the autoregressive process. Default is 1.

methodstr, optional

Method can be ‘unbiased’ or ‘mle’ and this determines denominator in estimate of autocorrelation function (ACF) at lag k. If ‘mle’, the denominator is n=X.shape[0], if ‘unbiased’ the denominator is n-k. The default is unbiased.

dfint, optional

Specifies the degrees of freedom. If df is supplied, then it is assumed the X has df degrees of freedom rather than n. Default is None.

invbool

If inv is True the inverse of R is also returned. Default is False.

demeanbool

True, the mean is subtracted from X before estimation.

Returns
rhondarray

AR(p) coefficients computed using the Yule-Walker method.

sigmafloat

The estimate of the residual standard deviation.

burg

Burg’s AR estimator.
