denoted by Bj Xt= Xt-j for all j
Then equation (3.2) may be written as Xt = β0Zt+ β1BZt+...+βqBqZt =(β0+ β1B+...+βqBq )Zt=θ(B)Zt
In which, θ(B)==(β0+ β1B+...+βqBq ).
By the way, B is called backshift operator(Jianqing Fan & Qiwei Yao, 2002) or lag operater (Hamilton,1994).
where θ(B) is polynomial of order q in B.
the equition 3.2 is Xt = β0Zt+ β1Zt-1+...+βqZt-q
