Box-Jenkins Methodology for time Series Modeling Procedure
Note: it may not be easy to decide whether ACF/PACF cuts off or tails off. But don’t worry, the
process may help us to improve and develop the new fitted model.
Example:
AR (1) : ACF tails off , PACF cuts off at lag 1
MA (1): ACF cuts off at lag 1, PACF tails off
ARMA (1,1): ACF and PACF both tail off
*IF ACF is nonstationary, PACF is not relevant, the series need a transformation!
Nonstationary series shows ACF tails off slowly in LINEAR fashion. In practice, p and q
are less than 3.
• Hands on using simulated data below:-
Lets do indentification procedures for the following data using EVIEWS2:
DATA1- ACF cuts off at lag 1, while PACF tails off exponentially quickly.. MA(1)
DATA2-ACF cuts off at lag 1, PACF tails off alternatingly
MA(1) or ARMA (0,1)
DATA3-ACF tails off exponentially, PACF cuts off at lag 2
AR(2) or ARMA(2,0)
DATA4-ACF tails off slowly in linear fashion, NONstationary, transformation by
taking the first difference.
Differdata4-ACF tails off alternatingly, PACF cuts off lag 1
ARIMA (1,1,0)
DATA5-ACF tails off slowly in linear fashion-NONstationary-Transformation
Differ5- ACF tails off PACF cuts off at lag 2- ARIMA(2,1,0) both ACF and PACF tails
off ARIMA (p,1,q)
Parameter estimations
• Data1: MA(1) is significant
Based on ACF and PACF residual are independent at earlier lags
LM test indicates residual are independent,
Heteroskedasticity test
Parameter estimations
• Data3: AR(2) component is significant
Based on ACF and PACF residual are independent at earlier lags
LM test indicates residual are independent,
Heteroskedasticity test
Overfit data3-AR(2)-ARMA(2,0)
• AR(3)- the coefficient of AR(3) is not significant-reject
• ARMA(2,1)- MA(1) coefficient is not significant-reject
• AIC and BIC criteria can be applied in choosing the best model. The smaller
value of AIC/BIC indicates a better model.
• There is small chance that the best model based on these criteria does not
have white noise errors, and choosing 2nd best model may result in better
adequacy.
Residual Analysis and Diagnostic checking
• Independent assumption of residual can be checked using ACF plot.
Residuals would be independent and indicates white noise if ACF
values falls inside Bartlett confidence interval.
• Attention is given to residuals at low lag!
• As ACF is not a test, Serial LM test is more often used to check
autocorrelation.
