\subsection{ARMA}  **Talk about using white noise to drive the process  There exist a class of finite difference equations used in the analysis of discrete time series known as autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) processes. These equations relate Given any autocovariance function $\gamma(h)$ for which $\lim_{h\to\infty}\gamma(h) = 0$ and for any integer $k > 0$, there exists an ARMA(p,q) process with autocovariance function $\gamma_X(h)$ such that $\gamma_X(h) = \gamma(h)$ for all $h \leq k$. This makes the ARMA process a very useful tool in  the autoregressive analysis  and moving average properties modeling  of a times series. (obvious) time-series.  A stationary process $\{X_t\}$ is an ARMA(p,q) process if at every time $t$ $$X_t - \phi_1X_{t-1} - ... - \phi_pX_{t-p} = Z_t + \theta_{t-1} + ... + \theta_qZ_{t-q} $$
