Abstract:

While the Poisson moving average (PMA) model is a popular approach to describe the relation among integer-valued time series data, this model is constrained by the underlying equi-dispersion assumption (i.e., that the variance and the mean equal). This work instead introduces a flexible integer-valued moving average model for count data that contain over- or under-dispersion via the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) distribution and related distributions. This first-order sum-of-Conway-Maxwell-Poissons moving average (SCMPMA(1)) model offers a generalizable construct that includes the PMA (among others) as a special case. We highlight the SCMPMA model properties and illustrate its flexibility via simulated and real data examples.
