Abstract
We give the distribution of , the maximum of a sequence of observations from a moving average of order 1. Solutions are first given in terms of repeated integrals and then for the case where the underlying independent random variables are discrete. When the correlation is positive, where are the eigenvalues of a certain matrix, is the maximum magnitude of the eigenvalues, and depends on the number of possible values of the underlying random variables. The eigenvalues do not depend on only on its range.
