A new INARMA(1, 1) model with Poisson marginals

Abstract

We suggest an INARMA(1, 1) model with Poisson marginals which extends the INAR(1) in a similar way as the INGARCH(1, 1) does for the INARCH(1) model. The new model is equivalent to a binomially thinned INAR(1) process. This allows us to obtain some of its stochastic properties and use inference methods for hidden Markov models. The model is compared to various other models in two case studies.
