Study Notes
ARIMA Models
- Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) relates current and past data for improved forecasting accuracy.
- Combines past values (autoregression) and past prediction errors (moving average).
Ordinary Regression Models
- Utilize time indices as variables to analyze and predict trends in data.
Time Series Components
- Trend (Tt): Represents long-term movements, indicating whether data generally increases, decreases, or remains stable.
- Seasonal Variations: Regular patterns that appear within specific periods (e.g., monthly, yearly), like increased ice cream sales in summer.
- Irregular Components: Random fluctuations due to unpredictable events, such as natural disasters.
- Long Run Cycle/Cyclic (Ct): Periodic rises and falls in data not tied to a fixed frequency, distinguishing cyclic from seasonal variations.
Decision-making Instrument
- Time series analysis aids in forecasting by breaking down data into components, enabling better understanding and more informed predictions.
Smoothing Techniques
- Smoothing removes random fluctuations from data to clarify underlying trends.
Decomposition
- Decomposes time series into four components: trend, seasonality, cyclic, and irregular, revealing different influences on data.
Volatility Models (ARCH, GARCH)
- Address changes in data variability over time, providing insights into the behavior of fluctuating data.
Growth Rate in Forecasting
- Examines the rate of growth over time to predict future values, crucial for understanding trends.
Transfer Function Models
- Models the relationship between input and output variables, illustrating the interaction of various factors.
Vector Autoregression (VAR)
- Simultaneously predicts multiple related time series, examining how interdependent variables influence one another.
Moving Average
- Averages data points over a specified period, smoothing out short-term fluctuations to enhance trend detection.
