Wikipedia

  1. backshift

    In time series analysis, the lag operator (L) or backshift operator (B) operates on an element of a time series to produce the previous element. For example, given some time series X = { X 1 , X 2 , … } {\displaystyle X=\{X_{1},X_{2},\dots \}} then L X t = X t − 1 {\displaystyle LX_{t}=X_{t-1}} for all t > 1 {\displaystyle t>1} or similarly in terms of the backshift operator B: B X t = X t − 1 {\displaystyle BX_{t}=X_{t-1}} for all t > 1 {\displaystyle t>1} . Equivalently, this definition can be represented as X t = L X t + 1 {\displaystyle X_{t}=LX_{t+1}} for all t ≥ 1 {\displaystyle t\geq 1} The lag operator (as well as backshift operator) can be raised to arbitrary integer powers so that L − 1 X t = X t + 1 {\displaystyle L^{-1}X_{t}=X_{t+1}} and L k X t = X t − k . {\displaystyle L^{k}X_{t}=X_{t-k}.}
