The Assumption of Normality in Time Series
- amortize 9y agoI still do not see the complete picture. Why is the assumption of normality important? Other than to simplify the calculation of parameters in ARMA models.
- suj1th 9y agoThe short answer is I don't know. However, the convenience of simplifying the calculations is, in my opinion, a win. Again, I am myself not convinced. Probably, my premise on the ubiquitousness of normality assumption on the residuals in ARMA models is itself flawed.
