Dear S+ users,

   I am trying to simulate an ARMA(1,1) process and then
compare the estimated AR and MA parameters produced by
'arima.mle'. The estimated parameters are way off the
therectical values. I do understand that the estimates are
subject to sample variabilities. But after many times of
testing, I begin to ask how reliable is 'arima.mle'
estimates ? or is it something that I did incorrectly ?
The code that I used is:


set.seed(10)
arma <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(ar=-0.9,ma=-0.9)))
arma.fit <- arima.mle(arma, model=list(order=c(1,0,1)))
arma.fit


> set.seed(10)
> arma <- arima.sim(model = list(ar = c(ar = -0.9, ma = -0.9)))
> arma.fit <- arima.mle(arma, model = list(order = c(1, 0, 1)))
> arma.fit
Call: arima.mle(x = arma, model = list(order = c(1, 0, 1))) 
Method:  Maximum Likelihood 
Model :  1 0 1 

Coefficients:
        AR : -0.36859
        MA : 0.82566

Variance-Covariance Matrix:
            ar(1)       ma(1) 
ar(1) 0.010412031 0.002540766
ma(1) 0.002540766 0.003835001

Optimizer has  converged
Convergence Type: relative function convergence
AIC: 418.52584
