If it were an ARMA model, x would be (unknown) white noise but we were
told its [integer] values. So in no useful sense is it an ARMA model.
Without an error term, this is a set of linear equations. With a
white-noise error term, this would be an AR model with an exogeneous
input, as handled by arima().
