class MA extends ForecasterVec

The MA class provides basic time series analysis capabilities for 'MA' models. In an 'MA(q)' model, 'q' refers to the order of the Moving-Average component of the model. MA models are often used for forecasting. Given time series data stored in vector 'y', its next value 'y_t = y(t)' may be predicted based on the noise/residuals/shocks:

y_t = c + Σ(θ_i e_t-i) + e_t

where 'c' is a constant, 'θ' is the moving-average parameters vector, and 'e' is the noise vector. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
