Evaluate whether each of these stochastic processes is stationary. If it is an integrated process, determine the order of integration and evaluate the stationarity of the differenced process. You should assume that ut is white noise.
  • Yt = 0.75Yt - 1 - 0.375Yt - 2 + ut
  • Yt = 1.75Yt - 1 - 1.125Yt - 2 + 0.375Yt - 3 + ut
  • Yt = 2Yt - 1 - Yt - 2 + ut
  • Yt = Yt - 1 - Yt - 2 + ut
