## Detailed Description

Linear Autoregressive model with Gaussian noise.

Regression of the following kind:

where unknown parameters `rv` are , regression vector is a known function of past outputs and exogeneous variables . Distrubances are supposed to be normally distributed:

See Theory of ARX model estimation for mathematical treatment.

The easiest way how to use the class is:

    #include <estim/arx.h>
    using namespace bdm;

    // estimation of AR(0) model
    int main() {
            //prior
            mat V0 = 0.00001*eye(2); V0(0,0)= 0.1; //
            ARX Ar;
            Ar.set_statistics(1, V0); //nu is default (set to have finite moments)
                                                              // forgetting is default: 1.0
            mat Data = concat_vertical( randn(1,100), ones(1,100) );
            Ar.bayesB( Data);

            cout << "Expected value of Theta is: " << Ar.posterior().mean() <<endl;
    }
