-----
As mentioned above, both the AR and MA components should include the
coefficient on the zero-lag. This is typically 1. Further, due to the
conventions used in signal processing used in signal.lfilter vs.
conventions in statistics for ARMA processes, the AR parameters should
have the opposite sign of what you might expect. See the examples below.

Both the AR and MA components must include the coefficient on the
