Abstract

7.1 Slutzky’s modelling of the ‘summation of random causes’, introduced in §§5.11–5.16, and the ‘ordinary regression equations’ (6.10) and (6.13) of Yule and Walker were to become the basic models of time series analysis. One of the reasons why they have been such enduring features, apart from their obvious usefulness, may be because of their renaming as moving averages and linear autoregressions, respectively, by Herman Wold (1938, page 2), as these are terms that convey their structure with great clarity and effectiveness.1
