AR, MA, ARMA models Box–Jenkins methodology • Make the series stationary • plot ACF and PACF graphs for lags up to T/4, choose appropriate number of lags p and q • estimate chosen ARMA(p, q), check stability conditions and save residuals • plot ACF and PACF for the series of residuals, compute the Q-statistics and perform the Q-tests • If all the sample autocorrelations and partial autocorrelations are close to zero and if all the Q-tests do not reject the null hypothesis of no autocorrelation, then the estimated model might be the correct one. If not, then go back to step 1 and change the number of lags p and q.
AR, MA, ARMA models • If several ARMA(p, q) models are possibly correct, choose the model that minimizes information criteria: • Akaike information criterion (AIC): AIC = Tln. SSR + 2 n • Schwarz Bayes information criterion (SBIC): SBIC = Tln. SSR + nln. T • Hannan-Quinn information criterion (HQIC): HQIC = Tln. SSR + 2 n(ln(ln. T)) where SSR is the sum of residuals squares; • n is the number of explanatory variables (n = p + q + 1 if a constant term is included); • T is the number of usable observations.
