Hello R Users!

I have a question about the output of ARMAtoMA when used to calculate
the variance of
a model.  I have a mixed model of the form ARMA(1,1).  The actual
model takes the form:

X(t) = 0.75X(t-12) + a(t) - 0.4a(t-1)

Given that gamma(0) takes the form [(1 + theta^2 -
2*theta*phi)/(1-phi^2)]*sigma(a), I would
expect a process variance of 4.02*sigma(a) when I substitute 0.75 for
phi and -0.4 for theta.

When I run ARMAtoMA,

result <- ARMAtoMA(ar=c(0.75), ma=(-0.4), lag.max=40)
sum(result^2)+1

I get 1.28.  If I input 0.4 instead of -0.4 in ARMAtoMA I get the
result I expected.  Is there a sign
dependence in the R function I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance.

Matt
