It was first proposed by tong 1978 and discussed in detail by tong and lim 1980 and tong 1983. These ar models may or may not be of the same order. Modal assurance criterion the modal assurance criterion analysis mac analysis is used to determine the similarity of two mode shapes. For convenience, its often assumed that they are of the same order.

Any of the variables dependent or regressor can be specified with a custom lag, and you can mix the specification allowing certain variable to have fixed custom lags and the remainder having their lags chosen via model selection methods.
When techniques like linear regression or time series were aimed at modelling the general trend exhibited by a set or series of data points, data scientists faced another question though these models can capture the overall trend but how can one model the volatility in the data.
