ARIMA model comparison clarified: State-space formulation removes differencing constraint

A discussion on LinkedIn highlighted a nuance in comparing ARIMA models using information criteria, specifically regarding the order of differencing. While conventional ARIMA models require identical differencing orders for valid comparison, this constraint is reportedly eliminated when using a state-space formulation. This distinction is explained further in a linked article. AI
