% Generate stationary AR en MA polynomials a and b from reflection coefficients smaller than 1
% By taking reflection coefficients between -1 and +1, stationary invertible
% models are guaranteed with all poles and zeros inside the unit circle
% Reflection coefficients are transformed into parameters with rc2arset:

a = rc2arset([1 .3 .3])

b = rc2arset([1 -.9])

% The spectra on a linear scale are hardly to discern for high frequencies.
% That improves with a logaritmic scale.
% The frequency axis is between 0 and fs/2, where fs is the sampling frequency.
% Very often, fs is taken as 1 without mentioning it.
%
% Investigate the accuracy as estimated by ARMAsel for all models
% That accuracy is stored in sellog in pe_est files
% The accuracy of all models can be interpreted as the language of random data
%
% This example demonstrates how axis can be generated automatically for a
% properly scaled plot of the prediction errors
