In this paper, a new class of generalized integer-valued ARMA (GINARMA) models is introduced which unifies a large number of compound Poisson INAR and INGARCH processes. Its stochastic properties, including stationarity and geometric ergodicity, are studied. Particular attention is given to a generalization of the INAR($p$) model which parallels the extension of the INARCH(p) to the INGARCH(p, q) model. For inference, we consider moment-based estimation and a maximum likelihood inference scheme inspired by the forward algorithm. Models from the proposed class have a natural interpretation as stochastic epidemic processes, which throughout the article is used to illustrate our arguments. In a case study, different instances of the class, including both established and newly introduced models, are applied to weekly case numbers of measles and mumps in Bavaria, Germany.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.12449v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.12449v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-thinning-based-representation-of-the","repo_url":"https://github.com/jbracher/ingarch","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
