## @deftypefn {} {@var{x} =} arma_rnd (@var{a}, @var{b}, @var{v}, @var{t}, @var{n})
## Return a simulation of the ARMA model.
##
## The ARMA model is defined by
##
## @example
## @group
## x(n) = a(1) * x(n-1) + @dots{} + a(k) * x(n-k)
##      + e(n) + b(1) * e(n-1) + @dots{} + b(l) * e(n-l)
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## in which @var{k} is the length of vector @var{a}, @var{l} is the length of
## vector @var{b} and @var{e} is Gaussian white noise with variance @var{v}.
## The function returns a vector of length @var{t}.
##
## The optional parameter @var{n} gives the number of dummy @var{x}(@var{i})
## used for initialization, i.e., a sequence of length @var{t}+@var{n} is
## generated and @var{x}(@var{n}+1:@var{t}+@var{n}) is returned.  If @var{n}
## is omitted, @var{n} = 100 is used.
