The autocorrelation function begins at some point determined by both the ar and ma components but thereafter, declines geometrically at a rate determined by the ar component. This is also known as a sliding dot product or sliding innerproduct.
Pollock 1999, and in many other books and journal papers. To find the autocorrelation, you would need the joint pdf that relates the random variables. In their estimate, they scale the correlation at each lag by the sample variance vary,1 so that the autocorrelation at lag 0 is unity. The autocorrelation function is a realvalued, even function, whose maximum represents the power of the signal and occurs at the origin. There are many books on the market that provide exquisite source code.
