ARIMA moving average model

Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model (ARIMA) ... 

A general approach was developed by G.E.P. Box and G.M. Jenkins (S) which combines these various methods into an analysis which permits choice of the most appropriate model, checks the forecast precision, and allows for interpretation. The Box-Jenkins analysis is an autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). This approach, as implemented in the MINITAB computer program is one used for the analyses reported here. 

ARIMA connects both autoregressive and moving average models and includes integrating effects, e.g. trends or seasonal effects. 

The ARIMA analysis evaluates the autocorrelation functions to determine the order of the appropriate moving average and the need for differencing. An appropriate model is chosen and the fit to the data is constructed followed by a careful analysis of the residuals. The parameters are adjusted and the fit is checked again. The process is applied iteratively until the errors are minimized or the model fails to converge. 

The specification of ARIMA models is very expensive for the operator who analyzes time series. The first phase is the estimation of the order of three inherent processes, autoregression, integration, and moving average. 

The PACF illustrates the order 1 for the AR component, but at this stage of estimation of the model it is unknown if the trend or the seasonal model follow the autoregression with the order of one. No moving average component can be found from the PACF. Deduced possible models are ARIMA (1,1,0)( 1,0,0), ARIMA (0,1,0)( 1,0,0), or ARIMA (1,1,0)(0,0,0). 

In ARIMA modeling, the order of the autoregressive component is frequently zero, one or sometimes two. Therefore, only short forecasting intervals are of any use. Disturbances in future values, normally smoothed by the moving average, were set to zero. The following example demonstrates this fact ... 

Comparing this with equation (3) shows that this can be considered as the output of a first order transfer function in response to a random input sequence. More generally, most stochastic disturbances can be modelled by a general autoregressive-integrated moving-average (ARIMA) time series model of order (p,d,q), that is,... 

To develop the tool, we have considered only simple forecasting methods, such as moving averages and exponential smoothing, so that each level of the chain uses the best one that suits the demand it should deal with. With them, it is possible to achieve great results in reducing Bullwhip Effect. Even so, we have also shown that the inclusion of more advanced forecasting methods (ARIMA models) allows an even better system performance. 

ARIMA is a sophisticated univariate modeling technique. ARIMA is the abbreviation of Autoregressive integrated moving average (also known as the Box-Jenkins model). It was developed in 1970 for forecasting purposes and relies solely on the past behavior of the variable being forecasted. The model creates the value of F, with input from previous values of the same dataset. This input includes a factor of previous values as well as the elasticity of the...
