Probably not what anyone wants to hear, but I just used Minitab for any regression past AR(2).
I tried to get the MA(1) formula on my own, and could never match what Minitab had given me. No post by NEAS forbids Minitab, so I included my Minitab regression outputs in the Word doc I sent in.
Jacob: Can we use
minitab,
sas, and similar statistical packages for the student project?
Rachel: The student project ensures that you can apply the concepts to real data using statistical software.. Any statistical package is fine. We show illustrations in Excel, since most candidates are familiar with Excel. If you have minitab, sas, or similar packages, you may use them.
