  1. Tutorial for solution of Assignment week 40 “Forecasting monthly values of Consumer Price Index Data set: Swedish Consumer Price Index” sparetime

  2. “Construct a time series graph for the monthly values of Consumer Price Index (Konsumentprisindex (KPI) in Swedish) for spare time occupation, amusement and culture (fritid, nöje och kultur in Swedish) (in file ‘sparetime.txt’).”

  3. “Then estimate the autocorrelations and display them in a graph.” “Is there any obvious upward or downward trend?” Yes, upward, but turning at the end

  4. “Are there any signs of long-time oscillations in the time series? No! Are there any signs of seasonal variation in the series?” Not visible!

  5. “Do the autocorrelations cancel out quickly?” No! “Judge upon the need for differentiation according to ut = yt- yt-1 or vt = yt - yt-12 to get a time series that is suitable for forecasting with ARMA-models. Construct new graphs for the series obtained by differentiation and estimate the autocorrelations for these series.”

  6. ut= yt – yt - 1 Not convincingly stationary! Diffuse pattern!

  7. vt = yt – yt - 12 Definitely non-stationary!

  8. “E.2. Fitting different ARMA-models Try different combinations of ARMA-models and differentiation to forecast the Consumer Price Index. Which model seems to give the best forecasts in this case.” From E.1.: Seems to be best to use first-order non-seasonal differences Chosen “design”: AR(1), AR(2) MA(1), MA(2) ARMA(1,1), ARMA(2,1), ARMA(1,2), ARMA(2,2)

  9. Fixed to 1 in all models! Altered from model to model

  14. None of the models are satisfactory in goodness-of-fit and prediction intervals are quite similar (slightly more narrow for the more complex models). Maybe second-order non-seasonal differences would work? wt = ut– ut – 1 =(yt – yt – 1) – (yt – 1 – yt – 2) = yt – 2yt – 1 + yt – 2

  15. Clear seasonal correlation and close to non-stationary

  16. How about first order seasonal differences on the first-order non-seasonal differences? zt= ut– ut – 12 = (yt – yt – 1)– (yt – 12 – yt – 13)

  17. Much more a stationary look!

  18. Tricky to identify the correct model. Clearly a seasonal model must be used, most probably with at least one MA –term Non-seasonal part more difficult. ARMA(1,1) ?

  19. Try ARIMA(1,1,1,0,1,1)12

  22. “E.3. Residual analysis Construct a graph for the residuals (the one-step-ahead prediction errors) and examine visually if there is any pattern in the residuals indicating that the selected forecasting model is not optimal.” Residual plots for ARIMA(1,1,1,0,0,0) ARIMA(1,1,1,0,1,1)12 ARIMA(0,1,0,0,1,1)12

  23. ARIMA(1,1,1,0,0,0): Non-satisfactory

  24. ARIMA(1,1,1,0,1,1)12 Satisfactory!

  25. ARIMA(0,1,0,0,1,1)12 Satisfactory!

  26. “F. ARMA-models and exponential smoothing Data set: The Dollar-Danish Crowns Exchange rates Consider the time series of monthly exchange rates US$/DKK.”

  27. “At first, calculate forecasts by using exponential smoothing and note the prediction formula.” Change scale so that y-axis starts at 0 (and ends at 10) Single exponential smoothing will probably work well. Optimize 
