In time series analysis used in statistics and econometrics , autoregressive integrated moving average ( ARIMA ) and seasonal ARIMA ( SARIMA ) models are generalizations of the autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model to non-stationary series and periodic variation, respectively. All these models are fitted to time series in order to better understand it and predict future values. The purpose of these generalizations is to fit the data as well as possible. Specifically, ARMA assumes that the series is stationary , that is, its expected value is constant in time. If instead the series has a trend (but a constant variance/ autocovariance ), the trend is removed by "differencing", leaving a stationary series. This operation generalizes ARMA and corresponds to the " integrated " part of ARIMA. Analogously, periodic variation is removed by "seasonal differencing".
104-458: As in ARMA, the "autoregressive" ( AR ) part of ARIMA indicates that the evolving variable of interest is regressed on its prior values. The "moving average" ( MA ) part indicates that the regression error is a linear combination of error terms whose values occurred contemporaneously and at various times in the past. The "integrated" ( I ) part indicates that the data values have been replaced with

Independent and identically-distributed random variables In probability theory and statistics , a collection of random variables is independent and identically distributed ( i.i.d. , iid , or IID ) if each random variable has

624-404: A wide-sense stationary time series, the mean and the variance/ autocovariance are constant over time. Differencing in statistics is a transformation applied to a non-stationary time-series in order to make it stationary in the mean sense (that is, to remove the non-constant trend), but it does not affect the non-stationarity of the variance or autocovariance . Likewise, seasonal differencing
728-499: A "cascade" of two models. The first is non-stationary: while the second is wide-sense stationary : Now forecasts can be made for the process Y t {\displaystyle Y_{t}} , using a generalization of the method of autoregressive forecasting . The forecast intervals ( confidence intervals for forecasts) for ARIMA models are based on assumptions that the residuals are uncorrelated and normally distributed. If either of these assumptions does not hold, then
832-410: A common value for the given predictor variable. This is the only interpretation of "held fixed" that can be used in an observational study . The notion of a "unique effect" is appealing when studying a complex system where multiple interrelated components influence the response variable. In some cases, it can literally be interpreted as the causal effect of an intervention that is linked to the value of

Many results that were first proven under the assumption that the random variables are i.i.d . have been shown to be true even under a weaker distributional assumption. The most general notion which shares

One implication of this is that if the roulette ball lands on "red", for example, 20 times in a row, the next spin is no more or less likely to be "black" than on any other spin (see the gambler's fallacy ). Toss a coin 10 times and record how many times the coin lands on heads. Such a sequence of two possible i.i.d. outcomes is also called a Bernoulli process . Roll

#17327722164661248-426: A model that fits the outliers more than the true data due to the higher importance assigned by MSE to large errors. So, cost functions that are robust to outliers should be used if the dataset has many large outliers . Conversely, the least squares approach can be used to fit models that are not linear models. Thus, although the terms "least squares" and "linear model" are closely linked, they are not synonymous. Given
1352-407: A predictor variable. However, it has been argued that in many cases multiple regression analysis fails to clarify the relationships between the predictor variables and the response variable when the predictors are correlated with each other and are not assigned following a study design. Numerous extensions of linear regression have been developed, which allow some or all of the assumptions underlying
1456-400: A study design, the comparisons of interest may literally correspond to comparisons among units whose predictor variables have been "held fixed" by the experimenter. Alternatively, the expression "held fixed" can refer to a selection that takes place in the context of data analysis. In this case, we "hold a variable fixed" by restricting our attention to the subsets of the data that happen to have
1560-568: A useful generalization — for example, sampling without replacement is not independent, but is exchangeable. In stochastic calculus , i.i.d. variables are thought of as a discrete time Lévy process : each variable gives how much one changes from one time to another. For example, a sequence of Bernoulli trials is interpreted as the Bernoulli process . One may generalize this to include continuous time Lévy processes , and many Lévy processes can be seen as limits of i.i.d. variables—for instance,

1768-410: Is a multiple linear regression . This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression , which predicts multiple correlated dependent variables rather than a single dependent variable. In linear regression, the relationships are modeled using linear predictor functions whose unknown model parameters are estimated from the data . Most commonly, the conditional mean of the response given

This is used, for example: Generalized linear models allow for an arbitrary link function , g , that relates the mean of the response variable(s) to the predictors: E ( Y ) = g − 1 ( X B ) {\displaystyle E(Y)=g^{-1}(XB)} . The link function is often related to

The basic model for multiple linear regression is for each observation i = 1 , … , n {\textstyle i=1,\ldots ,n} . In the formula above we consider n observations of one dependent variable and p independent variables. Thus, Y i

2392-551: Is a weight vector satisfying ∑ j = 1 q | w j | = 1 {\textstyle \sum _{j=1}^{q}|w_{j}|=1} . Because of the constraint on w j {\displaystyle {w_{j}}} , ξ ( w ) {\displaystyle \xi (\mathbf {w} )} is also referred to as a normalized group effect. A group effect ξ ( w ) {\displaystyle \xi (\mathbf {w} )} has an interpretation as

In general, for a group of q {\displaystyle q} strongly correlated predictor variables in an APC arrangement in the standardized model, group effects whose weight vectors w {\displaystyle \mathbf {w} } are at or near the centre of the simplex ∑ j = 1 q w j = 1 {\textstyle \sum _{j=1}^{q}w_{j}=1} ( w j ≥ 0 {\displaystyle w_{j}\geq 0} ) are meaningful and can be accurately estimated by their minimum-variance unbiased linear estimators. Effects with weight vectors far away from

The i.i.d. assumption frequently arises in the context of sequences of random variables. Then, "independent and identically distributed" implies that an element in the sequence is independent of the random variables that came before it. In this way, an i.i.d. sequence
2704-473: Is applied to a seasonal time-series to remove the seasonal component. From the perspective of signal processing, especially the Fourier spectral analysis theory, the trend is a low-frequency part in the spectrum of a series, while the season is a periodic-frequency part. Therefore, differencing is a high-pass (that is, low-stop) filter and the seasonal-differencing is a comb filter to suppress respectively
2808-406: Is because models which depend linearly on their unknown parameters are easier to fit than models which are non-linearly related to their parameters and because the statistical properties of the resulting estimators are easier to determine. Linear regression has many practical uses. Most applications fall into one of the following two broad categories: Linear regression models are often fitted using

In this case, including the other variables in the model reduces the part of the variability of y that is unrelated to x j , thereby strengthening the apparent relationship with x j . The meaning of the expression "held fixed" may depend on how the values of the predictor variables arise. If the experimenter directly sets the values of the predictor variables according to
3120-402: Is different from a Markov sequence , where the probability distribution for the n th random variable is a function of the previous random variable in the sequence (for a first-order Markov sequence). An i.i.d. sequence does not imply the probabilities for all elements of the sample space or event space must be the same. For example, repeated throws of loaded dice will produce a sequence that

In signal processing and image processing , the notion of transformation to i.i.d. implies two specifications, the "i.d." part and the "i." part: i.d . – The signal level must be balanced on the time axis. i . – The signal spectrum must be flattened, i.e. transformed by filtering (such as deconvolution ) to a white noise signal (i.e. a signal where all frequencies are equally present). Suppose that
3432-754: Is meaningful when the latter is. Thus meaningful group effects of the original variables can be found through meaningful group effects of the standardized variables. In Dempster–Shafer theory , or a linear belief function in particular, a linear regression model may be represented as a partially swept matrix, which can be combined with similar matrices representing observations and other assumed normal distributions and state equations. The combination of swept or unswept matrices provides an alternative method for estimating linear regression models. A large number of procedures have been developed for parameter estimation and inference in linear regression. These methods differ in computational simplicity of algorithms, presence of

The corrected AIC for ARIMA models can be written as The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) can be written as The objective is to minimize the AIC, AICc or BIC values for a good model. The lower the value of one of these criteria for a range of models being investigated, the better the model will suit the data. The AIC and the BIC are used for two completely different purposes. While

It is often used where the variables of interest have a natural hierarchical structure such as in educational statistics, where students are nested in classrooms, classrooms are nested in schools, and schools are nested in some administrative grouping, such as a school district.

Multivariate analogues of ordinary least squares (OLS) and generalized least squares (GLS) have been developed. "General linear models" are also called "multivariate linear models". These are not the same as multivariable linear models (also called "multiple linear models"). Various models have been created that allow for heteroscedasticity , i.e.

Linear regression is also a type of machine learning algorithm , more specifically a supervised algorithm, that learns from the labelled datasets and maps the data points to the most optimized linear functions that can be used for prediction on new datasets. Linear regression was the first type of regression analysis to be studied rigorously, and to be used extensively in practical applications. This

To train ML models effectively, it is crucial to use data that is broadly generalizable.

AICc can only be used to compare ARIMA models with the same orders of differencing. For ARIMAs with different orders of differencing, RMSE can be used for model comparison.

Errors-in-variables models (or "measurement error models") extend the traditional linear regression model to allow the predictor variables X to be observed with error.

According to Wold's decomposition theorem , the ARMA model is sufficient to describe a regular (a.k.a. purely nondeterministic) wide-sense stationary time series, so we are motivated to make such a non-stationary time series stationary, e.g., by using differencing, before we can use ARMA.

6968-427: The expected change in y {\displaystyle y} when variables in the group x 1 , x 2 , … , x q {\displaystyle x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{q}} change by the amount w 1 , w 2 , … , w q {\displaystyle w_{1},w_{2},\dots ,w_{q}} , respectively, at
7072-408: The factorization of the autoregression polynomial into factors as above can be extended to other cases, firstly to apply to the moving average polynomial and secondly to include other special factors. For example, having a factor ( 1 − L s ) {\displaystyle (1-L^{s})} in a model is one way of including a non-stationary seasonality of period s into
7176-431: The forecast horizon increases. A number of variations on the ARIMA model are commonly employed. If multiple time series are used then the X t {\displaystyle X_{t}} can be thought of as vectors and a VARIMA model may be appropriate. Sometimes a seasonal effect is suspected in the model; in that case, it is generally considered better to use a SARIMA (seasonal ARIMA) model than to increase
7280-603: The forecast intervals may be incorrect. For this reason, researchers plot the ACF and histogram of the residuals to check the assumptions before producing forecast intervals. 95% forecast interval: y ^ T + h ∣ T ± 1.96 v T + h ∣ T {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}_{T+h\,\mid \,T}\pm 1.96{\sqrt {v_{T+h\,\mid \,T}}}} , where v T + h ∣ T {\displaystyle v_{T+h\mid T}}
7384-470: The group effect also reduces to an individual effect. A group effect ξ ( w ) {\displaystyle \xi (\mathbf {w} )} is said to be meaningful if the underlying simultaneous changes of the q {\displaystyle q} variables ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x q ) ⊺ {\displaystyle (x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{q})^{\intercal }}
7488-403: The individual effect of x j {\displaystyle x_{j}} . It has an interpretation as the expected change in the response variable y {\displaystyle y} when x j {\displaystyle x_{j}} increases by one unit with other predictor variables held constant. When x j {\displaystyle x_{j}}
7592-400: The information in x j , so that once that variable is in the model, there is no contribution of x j to the variation in y . Conversely, the unique effect of x j can be large while its marginal effect is nearly zero. This would happen if the other covariates explained a great deal of the variation of y , but they mainly explain variation in a way that is complementary to what
7696-503: The joint cumulative distribution function of X 1 , … , X n {\displaystyle X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}} . In probability theory, two events, A {\textstyle \color {red}A} and B {\textstyle \definecolor {Green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\color {Green}B} , are called independent if and only if P ( A
7800-543: The least squares estimated model are accurate. A group effect of the original variables { x 1 , x 2 , … , x q } {\displaystyle \{x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{q}\}} can be expressed as a constant times a group effect of the standardized variables { x 1 ′ , x 2 ′ , … , x q ′ } {\displaystyle \{x_{1}',x_{2}',\dots ,x_{q}'\}} . The former
7904-433: The low-frequency trend and the periodic-frequency season in the spectrum domain (rather than directly in the time domain). To difference the data, we compute the difference between consecutive observations. Mathematically, this is shown as It may be necessary to difference the data a second time to obtain a stationary time series, which is referred to as second-order differencing : Seasonal differencing involves computing
8008-402: The main properties of i.i.d. variables are exchangeable random variables , introduced by Bruno de Finetti . Exchangeability means that while variables may not be independent, future ones behave like past ones — formally, any value of a finite sequence is as likely as any permutation of those values — the joint probability distribution is invariant under the symmetric group . This provides
8112-404: The measured data. This model is non-linear in the time variable, but it is linear in the parameters β 1 and β 2 ; if we take regressors x i = ( x i 1 , x i 2 ) = ( t i , t i ), the model takes on the standard form Standard linear regression models with standard estimation techniques make a number of assumptions about the predictor variables,
8216-526: The model may be referred to based on the non-zero parameter, dropping " AR ", " I " or " MA " from the acronym. For example, ARIMA ( 1 , 0 , 0 ) {\displaystyle {\text{ARIMA}}(1,0,0)} is AR(1) , ARIMA ( 0 , 1 , 0 ) {\displaystyle {\text{ARIMA}}(0,1,0)} is I(1) , and ARIMA ( 0 , 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle {\text{ARIMA}}(0,0,1)}
8320-472: The model so that they all have mean zero and length one. To illustrate this, suppose that { x 1 , x 2 , … , x q } {\displaystyle \{x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{q}\}} is a group of strongly correlated variables in an APC arrangement and that they are not strongly correlated with predictor variables outside the group. Let y ′ {\displaystyle y'} be
8424-452: The model; this factor has the effect of re-expressing the data as changes from s periods ago. Another example is the factor ( 1 − 3 L + L 2 ) {\displaystyle \left(1-{\sqrt {3}}L+L^{2}\right)} , which includes a (non-stationary) seasonality of period 2. The effect of the first type of factor is to allow each season's value to drift separately over time, whereas with
8528-899: The number of individual cases required in the training sample, simplifying optimization calculations. In optimization problems, the assumption of independent and identical distribution simplifies the calculation of the likelihood function. Due to this assumption, the likelihood function can be expressed as: l ( θ ) = P ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , . . . , x n | θ ) = P ( x 1 | θ ) P ( x 2 | θ ) P ( x 3 | θ ) . . . P ( x n | θ ) {\displaystyle l(\theta )=P(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},...,x_{n}|\theta )=P(x_{1}|\theta )P(x_{2}|\theta )P(x_{3}|\theta )...P(x_{n}|\theta )} To maximize
8632-464: The order of a non-seasonal ARIMA model, a useful criterion is the Akaike information criterion (AIC) . It is written as where L is the likelihood of the data, p is the order of the autoregressive part and q is the order of the moving average part. The k represents the intercept of the ARIMA model. For AIC, if k = 1 then there is an intercept in the ARIMA model ( c ≠ 0) and if k = 0 then there
8736-468: The order of the AR or MA parts of the model. If the time-series is suspected to exhibit long-range dependence , then the d parameter may be allowed to have non-integer values in an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average model, which is also called a Fractional ARIMA (FARIMA or ARFIMA) model. Various packages that apply methodology like Box–Jenkins parameter optimization are available to find
8840-511: The other covariates are held fixed—that is, the expected value of the partial derivative of y with respect to x j . This is sometimes called the unique effect of x j on y . In contrast, the marginal effect of x j on y can be assessed using a correlation coefficient or simple linear regression model relating only x j to y ; this effect is the total derivative of y with respect to x j . Care must be taken when interpreting regression results, as some of
8944-478: The parameters of the autoregressive part of the model, the θ i {\displaystyle \theta _{i}} are the parameters of the moving average part and the ε t {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{t}} are error terms. The error terms ε t {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{t}} are generally assumed to be independent, identically distributed variables sampled from
9048-425: The predictable component is treated as a non-zero-mean but periodic (i.e., seasonal) component in the ARIMA framework that it is eliminated by the seasonal differencing. Non-seasonal ARIMA models are usually denoted ARIMA( p , d , q ) where parameters p , d , q are non-negative integers: p is the order (number of time lags) of the autoregressive model , d is the degree of differencing (the number of times
9152-502: The probabilities of the product events for any 2 , 3 , … , n {\textstyle 2,3,\ldots ,n} events are equal to the product of the probabilities of each event, then the events A 1 , A 2 , … , A n {\textstyle {\color {red}A}_{1},{\color {red}A}_{2},\ldots ,{\color {red}A}_{n}} are independent of each other. A sequence of outcomes of spins of
9256-1205: The probability of the observed event, the log function is applied to maximize the parameter θ {\textstyle \theta } . Specifically, it computes: a r g m a x θ log ( l ( θ ) ) {\displaystyle \mathop {\rm {argmax}} \limits _{\theta }\log(l(\theta ))} where log ( l ( θ ) ) = log ( P ( x 1 | θ ) ) + log ( P ( x 2 | θ ) ) + log ( P ( x 3 | θ ) ) + . . . + log ( P ( x n | θ ) ) {\displaystyle \log(l(\theta ))=\log(P(x_{1}|\theta ))+\log(P(x_{2}|\theta ))+\log(P(x_{3}|\theta ))+...+\log(P(x_{n}|\theta ))} Computers are very efficient at performing multiple additions, but not as efficient at performing multiplications. This simplification enhances computational efficiency. The log transformation, in
9360-580: The random variables X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are defined to assume values in I ⊆ R {\displaystyle I\subseteq \mathbb {R} } . Let F X ( x ) = P ( X ≤ x ) {\displaystyle F_{X}(x)=\operatorname {P} (X\leq x)} and F Y ( y ) = P ( Y ≤ y ) {\displaystyle F_{Y}(y)=\operatorname {P} (Y\leq y)} be
9464-428: The regressors may not allow for marginal changes (such as dummy variables , or the intercept term), while others cannot be held fixed (recall the example from the introduction: it would be impossible to "hold t i fixed" and at the same time change the value of t i ). It is possible that the unique effect be nearly zero even when the marginal effect is large. This may imply that some other covariate captures all
9568-552: The response variable y is still a scalar. Another term, multivariate linear regression , refers to cases where y is a vector, i.e., the same as general linear regression . The general linear model considers the situation when the response variable is not a scalar (for each observation) but a vector, y i . Conditional linearity of E ( y ∣ x i ) = x i T B {\displaystyle E(\mathbf {y} \mid \mathbf {x} _{i})=\mathbf {x} _{i}^{\mathsf {T}}B}
9672-755: The response variable and their relationship. Numerous extensions have been developed that allow each of these assumptions to be relaxed (i.e. reduced to a weaker form), and in some cases eliminated entirely. Generally these extensions make the estimation procedure more complex and time-consuming, and may also require more data in order to produce an equally precise model. The following are the major assumptions made by standard linear regression models with standard estimation techniques (e.g. ordinary least squares ): Violations of these assumptions can result in biased estimations of β , biased standard errors, untrustworthy confidence intervals and significance tests. Beyond these assumptions, several other statistical properties of
9776-420: The right parameters for the ARIMA model. Linear regression In statistics , linear regression is a model that estimates the linear relationship between a scalar response ( dependent variable ) and one or more explanatory variables ( regressor or independent variable ). A model with exactly one explanatory variable is a simple linear regression ; a model with two or more explanatory variables
9880-456: The same probability distribution as the others and all are mutually independent . IID was first defined in statistics and finds application in many fields, such as data mining and signal processing . Statistics commonly deals with random samples. A random sample can be thought of as a set of objects that are chosen randomly. More formally, it is "a sequence of independent, identically distributed (IID) random data points." In other words,
9984-420: The same set of explanatory variables and hence are estimated simultaneously with each other: for all observations indexed as i = 1, ... , n and for all dependent variables indexed as j = 1, ... , m . Nearly all real-world regression models involve multiple predictors, and basic descriptions of linear regression are often phrased in terms of the multiple regression model. Note, however, that in these cases
10088-611: The same time with other variables (not in the group) held constant. It generalizes the individual effect of a variable to a group of variables in that ( i {\displaystyle i} ) if q = 1 {\displaystyle q=1} , then the group effect reduces to an individual effect, and ( i i {\displaystyle ii} ) if w i = 1 {\displaystyle w_{i}=1} and w j = 0 {\displaystyle w_{j}=0} for j ≠ i {\displaystyle j\neq i} , then
10192-1843: The same time; that is, independence must be compatible and mutual exclusion must be related. Suppose A {\textstyle \color {red}A} , B {\textstyle \definecolor {Green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\color {Green}B} , and C {\textstyle \definecolor {blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}\color {blue}C} are three events. If P ( A B ) = P ( A ) P ( B ) {\textstyle \definecolor {Green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}P({\color {red}A}{\color {green}B})=P({\color {red}A})P({\color {green}B})} , P ( B C ) = P ( B ) P ( C ) {\textstyle \definecolor {Green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}\definecolor {Blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}P({\color {green}B}{\color {blue}C})=P({\color {green}B})P({\color {blue}C})} , P ( A C ) = P ( A ) P ( C ) {\textstyle \definecolor {blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}P({\color {red}A}{\color {blue}C})=P({\color {red}A})P({\color {blue}C})} , and P ( A B C ) = P ( A ) P ( B ) P ( C ) {\textstyle \definecolor {Green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {green}{rgb}{0,0.5019607843137255,0}\definecolor {blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}\definecolor {Blue}{rgb}{0,0,1}P({\color {red}A}{\color {green}B}{\color {blue}C})=P({\color {red}A})P({\color {green}B})P({\color {blue}C})} are satisfied, then
10296-439: The second type values for adjacent seasons move together. Identification and specification of appropriate factors in an ARIMA model can be an important step in modeling as it can allow a reduction in the overall number of parameters to be estimated while allowing the imposition on the model of types of behavior that logic and experience suggest should be there. A stationary time series's properties do not change. Specifically, for
10400-422: The standardized model. A group effect of { x 1 ′ , x 2 ′ , … , x q ′ } {\displaystyle \{x_{1}',x_{2}',\dots ,x_{q}'\}} is and its minimum-variance unbiased linear estimator is where β ^ j ′ {\displaystyle {\hat {\beta }}_{j}'}
10504-431: The standardized model. The standardization of variables does not change their correlations, so { x 1 ′ , x 2 ′ , … , x q ′ } {\displaystyle \{x_{1}',x_{2}',\dots ,x_{q}'\}} is a group of strongly correlated variables in an APC arrangement and they are not strongly correlated with other predictor variables in
10608-469: The strongly correlated group increase by ( 1 / q ) {\displaystyle (1/q)} th of a unit at the same time with variables outside the group held constant. With strong positive correlations and in standardized units, variables in the group are approximately equal, so they are likely to increase at the same time and in similar amount. Thus, the average group effect ξ A {\displaystyle \xi _{A}}
10712-447: The terms random sample and IID are synonymous. In statistics, " random sample " is the typical terminology, but in probability, it is more common to say " IID ." Independent and identically distributed random variables are often used as an assumption, which tends to simplify the underlying mathematics. In practical applications of statistical modeling , however, this assumption may or may not be realistic. The i.i.d. assumption
10816-434: The values of the explanatory variables (or predictors) is assumed to be an affine function of those values; less commonly, the conditional median or some other quantile is used. Like all forms of regression analysis , linear regression focuses on the conditional probability distribution of the response given the values of the predictors, rather than on the joint probability distribution of all of these variables, which
