63-549: The original model uses an iterative three-stage modeling approach: The data they used were from a gas furnace. These data are well known as the Box and Jenkins gas furnace data for benchmarking predictive models. Commandeur & Koopman (2007, §10.4) argue that the Box–Jenkins approach is fundamentally problematic. The problem arises because in "the economic and social fields, real series are never stationary however much differencing

126-596: A function among a well-defined class that closely matches ("approximates") a target function in a task-specific way. One can distinguish two major classes of function approximation problems: First, for known target functions, approximation theory is the branch of numerical analysis that investigates how certain known functions (for example, special functions ) can be approximated by a specific class of functions (for example, polynomials or rational functions ) that often have desirable properties (inexpensive computation, continuity, integral and limit values, etc.). Second,

189-563: A run chart (which is a temporal line chart ). Time series are used in statistics , signal processing , pattern recognition , econometrics , mathematical finance , weather forecasting , earthquake prediction , electroencephalography , control engineering , astronomy , communications engineering , and largely in any domain of applied science and engineering which involves temporal measurements. Time series analysis comprises methods for analyzing time series data in order to extract meaningful statistics and other characteristics of

252-464: A seasonal subseries plot , or a spectral plot . Box and Jenkins recommend the differencing approach to achieve stationarity. However, fitting a curve and subtracting the fitted values from the original data can also be used in the context of Box–Jenkins models. At the model identification stage, the goal is to detect seasonality, if it exists, and to identify the order for the seasonal autoregressive and seasonal moving average terms. For many series,

315-506: A time series is a series of data points indexed (or listed or graphed) in time order. Most commonly, a time series is a sequence taken at successive equally spaced points in time. Thus it is a sequence of discrete-time data. Examples of time series are heights of ocean tides , counts of sunspots , and the daily closing value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average . A time series is very frequently plotted via

378-472: A causal effect on the observed series): the distinction from the multivariate case is that the forcing series may be deterministic or under the experimenter's control. For these models, the acronyms are extended with a final "X" for "exogenous". Non-linear dependence of the level of a series on previous data points is of interest, partly because of the possibility of producing a chaotic time series. However, more importantly, empirical investigations can indicate

441-448: A certain point in time. An equivalent effect may be achieved in the time domain, as in a Kalman filter ; see filtering and smoothing for more techniques. Other related techniques include: Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve , or mathematical function , that has the best fit to a series of data points, possibly subject to constraints. Curve fitting can involve either interpolation , where an exact fit to

504-571: A certain structure which can be described using a small number of parameters (for example, using an autoregressive or moving-average model ). In these approaches, the task is to estimate the parameters of the model that describes the stochastic process. By contrast, non-parametric approaches explicitly estimate the covariance or the spectrum of the process without assuming that the process has any particular structure. Methods of time series analysis may also be divided into linear and non-linear , and univariate and multivariate . A time series

567-643: A distinct concept despite some similarities. The notation MA( q ) refers to the moving average model of order q : where μ {\displaystyle \mu } is the mean of the series, the θ 1 , . . . , θ q {\displaystyle \theta _{1},...,\theta _{q}} are the coefficients of the model and ε t , ε t − 1 , . . . , ε t − q {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{t},\varepsilon _{t-1},...,\varepsilon _{t-q}} are

630-446: A fixed distribution with a constant mean and variance. If the Box–Jenkins model is a good model for the data, the residuals should satisfy these assumptions. If these assumptions are not satisfied, one needs to fit a more appropriate model. That is, go back to the model identification step and try to develop a better model. Hopefully the analysis of the residuals can provide some clues as to a more appropriate model. One way to assess if

693-418: A function where no data are available, and to summarize the relationships among two or more variables. Extrapolation refers to the use of a fitted curve beyond the range of the observed data, and is subject to a degree of uncertainty since it may reflect the method used to construct the curve as much as it reflects the observed data. For processes that are expected to generally grow in magnitude one of

756-584: A given period will be expressed as deriving in some way from past values, rather than from future values (see time reversibility ). Time series analysis can be applied to real-valued , continuous data, discrete numeric data, or discrete symbolic data (i.e. sequences of characters, such as letters and words in the English language ). Methods for time series analysis may be divided into two classes: frequency-domain methods and time-domain methods. The former include spectral analysis and wavelet analysis ;

819-475: A given time series, attempting to illustrate time dependence at multiple scales. See also Markov switching multifractal (MSMF) techniques for modeling volatility evolution. A hidden Markov model (HMM) is a statistical Markov model in which the system being modeled is assumed to be a Markov process with unobserved (hidden) states. An HMM can be considered as the simplest dynamic Bayesian network . HMM models are widely used in speech recognition , for translating

882-450: A means of transferring knowledge about a sample of a population to the whole population, and to other related populations, which is not necessarily the same as prediction over time. When information is transferred across time, often to specific points in time, the process is known as forecasting . Assigning time series pattern to a specific category, for example identify a word based on series of hand movements in sign language . Splitting

945-604: A moving-average model is generally more complicated than fitting an autoregressive model . This is because the lagged error terms are not observable. This means that iterative non-linear fitting procedures need to be used in place of linear least squares. Moving average models are linear combinations of past white noise terms, while autoregressive models are linear combinations of past time series values. ARMA models are more complicated than pure AR and MA models, as they combine both autoregressive and moving average components. The autocorrelation function (ACF) of an MA( q ) process

1008-464: A non-identical to itself random-variable. Together with the autoregressive (AR) model , the moving-average model is a special case and key component of the more general ARMA and ARIMA models of time series , which have a more complicated stochastic structure. Contrary to the AR model, the finite MA model is always stationary . The moving-average model should not be confused with the moving average ,

1071-537: A regular time series is manually with a line chart . The datagraphic shows tuberculosis deaths in the United States, along with the yearly change and the percentage change from year to year. The total number of deaths declined in every year until the mid-1980s, after which there were occasional increases, often proportionately - but not absolutely - quite large. A study of corporate data analysts found two challenges to exploratory time series analysis: discovering

1134-402: A seasonal difference to the data and regenerate the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots. This may help in the model identification of the non-seasonal component of the model. In some cases, the seasonal differencing may remove most or all of the seasonality effect. Once stationarity and seasonality have been addressed, the next step is to identify the order (i.e. the p and q ) of

1197-418: A single series. Time series data have a natural temporal ordering. This makes time series analysis distinct from cross-sectional studies , in which there is no natural ordering of the observations (e.g. explaining people's wages by reference to their respective education levels, where the individuals' data could be entered in any order). Time series analysis is also distinct from spatial data analysis where

1260-406: A time series of spoken words into text. Many of these models are collected in the python package sktime . A number of different notations are in use for time-series analysis. A common notation specifying a time series X that is indexed by the natural numbers is written Another common notation is where T is the index set . There are two sets of conditions under which much of the theory

1323-418: A time-series into a sequence of segments. It is often the case that a time-series can be represented as a sequence of individual segments, each with its own characteristic properties. For example, the audio signal from a conference call can be partitioned into pieces corresponding to the times during which each person was speaking. In time-series segmentation, the goal is to identify the segment boundary points in

1386-416: A unified treatment in statistical learning theory , where they are viewed as supervised learning problems. In statistics , prediction is a part of statistical inference . One particular approach to such inference is known as predictive inference , but the prediction can be undertaken within any of the several approaches to statistical inference. Indeed, one description of statistics is that it provides

1449-536: Is stationary and whether there is any significant seasonality that needs to be modelled. Stationarity can be assessed from a run sequence plot . The run sequence plot should show constant location and scale . It can also be detected from an autocorrelation plot . Specifically, non-stationarity is often indicated by an autocorrelation plot with very slow decay. One can also utilize a Dickey-Fuller test or Augmented Dickey-Fuller test . Seasonality (or periodicity) can usually be assessed from an autocorrelation plot,

1512-482: Is a time series data set candidate. If determining a unique record requires a time data field and an additional identifier which is unrelated to time (e.g. student ID, stock symbol, country code), then it is panel data candidate. If the differentiation lies on the non-time identifier, then the data set is a cross-sectional data set candidate. There are several types of motivation and data analysis available for time series which are appropriate for different purposes. In

1575-419: Is built: Ergodicity implies stationarity, but the converse is not necessarily the case. Stationarity is usually classified into strict stationarity and wide-sense or second-order stationarity . Both models and applications can be developed under each of these conditions, although the models in the latter case might be considered as only partly specified. In addition, time-series analysis can be applied where

1638-416: Is closely related to interpolation is the approximation of a complicated function by a simple function (also called regression ). The main difference between regression and interpolation is that polynomial regression gives a single polynomial that models the entire data set. Spline interpolation, however, yield a piecewise continuous function composed of many polynomials to model the data set. Extrapolation

1701-409: Is done". Thus the investigator has to face the question: how close to stationary is close enough? As the authors note, "This is a hard question to answer". The authors further argue that rather than using Box–Jenkins, it is better to use state space methods, as stationarity of the time series is then not required. The first step in developing a Box–Jenkins model is to determine whether the time series

1764-524: Is generally the preferred technique. The likelihood equations for the full Box–Jenkins model are complicated and are not included here. See (Brockwell and Davis, 1991) for the mathematical details. Model diagnostics for Box–Jenkins models is similar to model validation for non-linear least squares fitting. That is, the error term A t is assumed to follow the assumptions for a stationary univariate process. The residuals should be white noise (or independent when their distributions are normal) drawings from

1827-400: Is one type of panel data . Panel data is the general class, a multidimensional data set, whereas a time series data set is a one-dimensional panel (as is a cross-sectional dataset ). A data set may exhibit characteristics of both panel data and time series data. One way to tell is to ask what makes one data record unique from the other records. If the answer is the time data field, then this

1890-406: Is the process of estimating, beyond the original observation range, the value of a variable on the basis of its relationship with another variable. It is similar to interpolation , which produces estimates between known observations, but extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk of producing meaningless results. In general, a function approximation problem asks us to select

1953-448: Is zero at lag q + 1 and greater. Therefore, we determine the appropriate maximum lag for the estimation by examining the sample autocorrelation function to see where it becomes insignificantly different from zero for all lags beyond a certain lag, which is designated as the maximum lag q . Sometimes the ACF and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) will suggest that an MA model would be

2016-450: The codomain (range or target set) of g is a finite set, one is dealing with a classification problem instead. A related problem of online time series approximation is to summarize the data in one-pass and construct an approximate representation that can support a variety of time series queries with bounds on worst-case error. To some extent, the different problems ( regression , classification , fitness approximation ) have received

2079-484: The 95% confidence interval for the sample autocorrelation function on the sample autocorrelation plot. Most software that can generate the autocorrelation plot can also generate this confidence interval. The sample partial autocorrelation function is generally not helpful for identifying the order of the moving average process. The following table summarizes how one can use the sample autocorrelation function for model identification. Hyndman & Athanasopoulos suggest

2142-716: The MA model a shock affects X {\displaystyle X} values only for the current period and q periods into the future; in contrast, in the AR model a shock affects X {\displaystyle X} values infinitely far into the future, because ε t {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{t}} affects X t {\displaystyle X_{t}} , which affects X t + 1 {\displaystyle X_{t+1}} , which affects X t + 2 {\displaystyle X_{t+2}} , and so on forever (see Impulse response ). Fitting

2205-479: The advantage of using predictions derived from non-linear models, over those from linear models, as for example in nonlinear autoregressive exogenous models . Further references on nonlinear time series analysis: (Kantz and Schreiber), and (Abarbanel) Among other types of non-linear time series models, there are models to represent the changes of variance over time ( heteroskedasticity ). These models represent autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) and

2268-534: The autoregressive and moving average terms. Different authors have different approaches for identifying p and q . Brockwell and Davis (1991) state "our prime criterion for model selection [among ARMA(p,q) models] will be the AICc", i.e. the Akaike information criterion with correction. Other authors use the autocorrelation plot and the partial autocorrelation plot, described below. The sample autocorrelation plot and

2331-483: The available information ("reading between the lines"). Interpolation is useful where the data surrounding the missing data is available and its trend, seasonality, and longer-term cycles are known. This is often done by using a related series known for all relevant dates. Alternatively polynomial interpolation or spline interpolation is used where piecewise polynomial functions are fitted in time intervals such that they fit smoothly together. A different problem which

2394-668: The collection comprises a wide variety of representation ( GARCH , TARCH, EGARCH, FIGARCH, CGARCH, etc.). Here changes in variability are related to, or predicted by, recent past values of the observed series. This is in contrast to other possible representations of locally varying variability, where the variability might be modelled as being driven by a separate time-varying process, as in a doubly stochastic model . In recent work on model-free analyses, wavelet transform based methods (for example locally stationary wavelets and wavelet decomposed neural networks) have gained favor. Multiscale (often referred to as multiresolution) techniques decompose

2457-556: The context of statistics , econometrics , quantitative finance , seismology , meteorology , and geophysics the primary goal of time series analysis is forecasting . In the context of signal processing , control engineering and communication engineering it is used for signal detection. Other applications are in data mining , pattern recognition and machine learning , where time series analysis can be used for clustering , classification , query by content, anomaly detection as well as forecasting . A simple way to examine

2520-421: The curves in the graphic (and many others) can be fitted by estimating their parameters. The construction of economic time series involves the estimation of some components for some dates by interpolation between values ("benchmarks") for earlier and later dates. Interpolation is estimation of an unknown quantity between two known quantities (historical data), or drawing conclusions about missing information from

2583-402: The data is required, or smoothing , in which a "smooth" function is constructed that approximately fits the data. A related topic is regression analysis , which focuses more on questions of statistical inference such as how much uncertainty is present in a curve that is fit to data observed with random errors. Fitted curves can be used as an aid for data visualization, to infer values of

2646-470: The data. Time series forecasting is the use of a model to predict future values based on previously observed values. Generally, time series data is modelled as a stochastic process . While regression analysis is often employed in such a way as to test relationships between one or more different time series, this type of analysis is not usually called "time series analysis", which refers in particular to relationships between different points in time within

2709-423: The error terms. The value of q is called the order of the MA model. This can be equivalently written in terms of the backshift operator B as Thus, a moving-average model is conceptually a linear regression of the current value of the series against current and previous (observed) white noise error terms or random shocks. The random shocks at each point are assumed to be mutually independent and to come from

2772-552: The feature extraction using chunking with sliding windows. It was found that the cluster centers (the average of the time series in a cluster - also a time series) follow an arbitrarily shifted sine pattern (regardless of the dataset, even on realizations of a random walk ). This means that the found cluster centers are non-descriptive for the dataset because the cluster centers are always nonrepresentative sine waves. Models for time series data can have many forms and represent different stochastic processes . When modeling variations in

2835-431: The following: In practice, the sample autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions are random variables and do not give the same picture as the theoretical functions. This makes the model identification more difficult. In particular, mixed models can be particularly difficult to identify. Although experience is helpful, developing good models using these sample plots can involve much trial and error. Estimating

2898-484: The former three. Extensions of these classes to deal with vector-valued data are available under the heading of multivariate time-series models and sometimes the preceding acronyms are extended by including an initial "V" for "vector", as in VAR for vector autoregression . An additional set of extensions of these models is available for use where the observed time-series is driven by some "forcing" time-series (which may not have

2961-446: The latter include auto-correlation and cross-correlation analysis. In the time domain, correlation and analysis can be made in a filter-like manner using scaled correlation , thereby mitigating the need to operate in the frequency domain. Additionally, time series analysis techniques may be divided into parametric and non-parametric methods. The parametric approaches assume that the underlying stationary stochastic process has

3024-465: The level of a process, three broad classes of practical importance are the autoregressive (AR) models, the integrated (I) models, and the moving-average (MA) models. These three classes depend linearly on previous data points. Combinations of these ideas produce autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) and autoregressive integrated moving-average (ARIMA) models. The autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average (ARFIMA) model generalizes

3087-451: The observations typically relate to geographical locations (e.g. accounting for house prices by the location as well as the intrinsic characteristics of the houses). A stochastic model for a time series will generally reflect the fact that observations close together in time will be more closely related than observations further apart. In addition, time series models will often make use of the natural one-way ordering of time so that values for

3150-415: The parameters for Box–Jenkins models involves numerically approximating the solutions of nonlinear equations. For this reason, it is common to use statistical software designed to handle to the approach – virtually all modern statistical packages feature this capability. The main approaches to fitting Box–Jenkins models are nonlinear least squares and maximum likelihood estimation. Maximum likelihood estimation

3213-474: The period is known and a single seasonality term is sufficient. For example, for monthly data one would typically include either a seasonal AR 12 term or a seasonal MA 12 term. For Box–Jenkins models, one does not explicitly remove seasonality before fitting the model. Instead, one includes the order of the seasonal terms in the model specification to the ARIMA estimation software. However, it may be helpful to apply

Second, in

The moving-average model is essentially a finite impulse response filter applied to white noise, with some additional interpretation placed on it. The role of the random shocks in the MA model differs from their role in the autoregressive (AR) model in two ways. First, they are propagated to future values of

The moving-average model specifies that the output variable is cross-correlated with

3528-517: The sample autocorrelation needs to be supplemented with a partial autocorrelation plot. The partial autocorrelation of an AR( p ) process becomes zero at lag p  + 1 and greater, so we examine the sample partial autocorrelation function to see if there is evidence of a departure from zero. This is usually determined by placing a 95% confidence interval on the sample partial autocorrelation plot (most software programs that generate sample autocorrelation plots also plot this confidence interval). If

Specifically, for an AR(1) process, the sample autocorrelation function should have an exponentially decreasing appearance. However, higher-order AR processes are often a mixture of exponentially decreasing and damped sinusoidal components. For higher-order autoregressive processes,

3654-573: The series are seasonally stationary or non-stationary. Situations where the amplitudes of frequency components change with time can be dealt with in time-frequency analysis which makes use of a time–frequency representation of a time-series or signal. Tools for investigating time-series data include: Time-series metrics or features that can be used for time series classification or regression analysis : Time series can be visualized with two categories of chart: Overlapping Charts and Separated Charts. Overlapping Charts display all-time series on

This approach may be based on harmonic analysis and filtering of signals in the frequency domain using the Fourier transform , and spectral density estimation .

The autocorrelation function of a MA( q ) process becomes zero at lag q  + 1 and greater, so we examine the sample autocorrelation function to see where it essentially becomes zero. We do this by placing

Depending on the structure of the domain and codomain of g , several techniques for approximating g may be applicable. For example, if g is an operation on the real numbers , techniques of interpolation , extrapolation , regression analysis , and curve fitting can be used. If
