    Hi, could somebody show me how to find E(y(t)) and Var(y(t)) for the following AR(1) model:

    y(t) = a(0) + a(1)y(t−1) + e(t)

    Thanks in advance

    Try writing out as a series and then consider the mean and variance of all the a's and white noise terms. You will probably need to use the sum of a GP formula,

    Good luck!
