ARMA is appropriate when a system is a function of a series of unobserved shocks (the MA or moving average part) as well as its own behavior. For example, stock prices may be shocked by fundamental information as well as exhibiting technical trending and mean-reversion effects due to market participants.
Specifically, ARMA assumes that the series is stationary, that is, its expected value is constant in time. If instead the series has a trend (but a constant variance/autocovariance), the trend is removed by "differencing", [1] leaving a stationary series. This operation generalizes ARMA and corresponds to the "integrated" part of ARIMA ...
In time series analysis, the Box–Jenkins method, [1] named after the statisticians George Box and Gwilym Jenkins, applies autoregressive moving average (ARMA) or autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models to find the best fit of a time-series model to past values of a time series.
Together with the moving-average (MA) model, it is a special case and key component of the more general autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models of time series, which have a more complicated stochastic structure; it is also a special case of the vector autoregressive model (VAR), which ...
Together with the autoregressive (AR) model, the moving-average model is a special case and key component of the more general ARMA and ARIMA models of time series, [3] which have a more complicated stochastic structure. Contrary to the AR model, the finite MA model is always stationary.

Polynomials of the lag operator can be used, and this is a common notation for ARMA (autoregressive moving average) models. For example, = = = (=) specifies an AR(p) model.A polynomial of lag operators is called a lag polynomial so that, for example, the ARMA model can be concisely specified as
Forecast either to existing data (static forecast) or "ahead" (dynamic forecast, forward in time) with these ARMA terms. Apply the reverse filter operation (fractional integration to the same level d as in step 1) to the forecasted series, to return the forecast to the original problem units (e.g. turn the ersatz units back into Price).
