Forecasting seasonal ARIMA

1. Forecasting seasonal ARIMA

As in the nonseasonal case,

2. Forecasting ARIMA Processes

once a model is chosen, forecasting is easy because the model describes how the dynamics of the time series behaves over time. You simply continue the model dynamics into the future. In astsa, use sarima-dot-for for forecasting. It is similar to the sarima command, but you also specify the forecasting horizon.

3. Forecasting Air Passengers

Recall that we found that an SARIMA(0,1,1, 0,1,1,12) was the best model for the logged AirPassengers time series. Now let's forecast 2 years beyond the end of the data. This can be done using sarima-dot-for as shown here. The data are show in black, the forecasts are red, and the gray swatches represent 1 and 2 root mean square prediction intervals.

4. Let's practice!

You will investigate the nature of time series data and learn the basics of ARMA models that can explain the behavior of such data. You will learn the basic R commands needed to help set up raw time series data to a form that can be analyzed using ARMA models.

Exercise 1: First things first Exercise 2: Data play Exercise 3: Elements of time series Exercise 4: Stationarity and nonstationarity Exercise 5: Differencing Exercise 6: Detrending data Exercise 7: Dealing with trend and heteroscedasticity Exercise 8: Stationary time series: ARMA Exercise 9: Simulating ARMA models

You will discover the wonderful world of ARMA models and how to fit these models to time series data. You will learn how to identify a model, how to choose the correct model, and how to verify a model once you fit it to data. You will learn how to use R time series commands from the stats and astsa packages.

Exercise 1: AR and MA models Exercise 2: Fitting an AR(1) model Exercise 3: Fitting an AR(2) model Exercise 4: Fitting an MA(1) model Exercise 5: AR and MA together Exercise 6: Fitting an ARMA model Exercise 7: Identify an ARMA model Exercise 8: Model choice and residual analysis Exercise 9: Model choice - I Exercise 10: Model choice - II Exercise 11: Residual analysis - I Exercise 12: Residual analysis - II Exercise 13: ARMA get in

Now that you know how to fit ARMA models to stationary time series, you will learn about integrated ARMA (ARIMA) models for nonstationary time series. You will fit the models to real data using R time series commands from the stats and astsa packages.

Exercise 1: ARIMA - integrated ARMA Exercise 2: ARIMA - plug and play Exercise 3: Simulated ARIMA Exercise 4: Global warming Exercise 5: ARIMA diagnostics Exercise 6: Diagnostics - simulated overfitting Exercise 7: Diagnostics - global temperatures Exercise 8: Forecasting ARIMA Exercise 9: Forecasting simulated ARIMA Exercise 10: Forecasting global temperatures

You will learn how to fit and forecast seasonal time series data using seasonal ARIMA models. This is accomplished using what you learned in the previous chapters and by learning how to extend the R time series commands available in the stats and astsa packages.

Exercise 1: Pure seasonal models Exercise 2: P/ACF of pure seasonal models Exercise 3: Fit a pure seasonal model Exercise 4: Mixed seasonal models Exercise 5: Fit a mixed seasonal model Exercise 6: Data analysis - unemployment I Exercise 7: Data analysis - unemployment II Exercise 8: Data analysis - commodity prices Exercise 9: Data analysis - birth rate Exercise 10: Forecasting seasonal ARIMA
