- Abstract
- Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) systems for synthesizing realizations of stochastic processes are discussed in context with the technique of Monte Carlo simulation. Strictly autoregressive or strictly moving average systems are considered as special cases of the ARMA systems. Their applicability in wind, ocean, and earthquake engineering is briefly reviewed.
