Some results on unilateral ARMA lattice processes

This paper presents several linked results on unilateral autoregressive moving average processes on a rectangular lattice. It is shown that axially symmetric two-dimensional. quadrant processes must be separable. Exact forms for the inverse variance matrix are obtained in some cases, which allow exact Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation and simulation. It is shown that generating functions can be used for extrapolation. The herringbone simulation method is discussed.
