Fitting an ARMAX model

In this exercise you will fit an ARMAX model to a time series which represents the wait times at an accident and emergency room for urgent medical care.

The variable you would like to model is the wait times to be seen by a medical professional wait_times_hrs. This may be related to an exogenous variable that you measured nurse_count which is the number of nurses on shift at any given time. These can be seen below.

This is a particularly interesting case of time series modeling as, if the number of nurses has an effect, you could change this to affect the wait times.

The time series data is available in your environment as hospital and has the two columns mentioned above. The ARMA class is also available for you.

Dive straight in and learn about the most important properties of time series. You'll learn about stationarity and how this is important for ARMA models. You'll learn how to test for stationarity by eye and with a standard statistical test. Finally, you'll learn the basic structure of ARMA models and use this to generate some ARMA data and fit an ARMA model.

What lies ahead in this chapter is you predicting what lies ahead in your data. You'll learn how to use the elegant statsmodels package to fit ARMA, ARIMA and ARMAX models. Then you'll use your models to predict the uncertain future of stock prices!

In this chapter, you will become a modeler of discerning taste. You'll learn how to identify promising model orders from the data itself, then, once the most promising models have been trained, you'll learn how to choose the best model from this fitted selection. You'll also learn a great framework for structuring your time series projects.
