Simple linear reduction.


uppose the observed real valued processes of discrete time $p_{t},\,q_{t}$ are connected by the relationship MATH where the $\varepsilon_{t}$ is a Gaussian random variable with zero mean. Assume farther that we are given samples MATH and MATH . We would like to compute a maximal likelihood estimate of $\alpha$ . The log-likelihood function is proportional to the sum MATH where we use the notation MATH . Hence, the maximal likelihood estimate $\alpha^{\ast}$ has to satisfy MATH MATH Therefore, the value $\alpha^{\ast}p$ is given by the projection of $q$ on $p$ : MATH
