Time-Series Analysis


Chapter Topics

• Component Factors of the Time-Series Model

• Smoothing of Data Series

Moving Averages

Exponential Smoothing

• Least Square Trend Fitting and Forecasting

Linear, Quadratic and Exponential Models

• Autoregressive Models

• Choosing Appropriate Models

• Monthly or Quarterly Data


What Is Time-Series

• A Quantitative Forecasting Method to

Predict Future Values

• Numerical Data Obtained at Regular

Time Intervals

• Projections Based on Past and Present

Observations

• Example:

Year: 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998

Sales: 75.3 74.2 78.5 79.7 80.2

Trend Component

• Overall Upward or Downward Movement

• Data Taken Over a Period of Years

Sales

Time


Cyclical Component

• Upward or Downward Swings

• May Vary in Length

• Usually Lasts 2 - 10 Years

Sales

Time


Seasonal Component

• Upward or Downward Swings

• Regular Patterns

• Observed Within 1 Year

Time (Monthly or Quarterly)


Random or Irregular Component

• Erratic, Nonsystematic, Random,

‘Residual’ Fluctuations

• Due to Random Variations of

Nature

Accidents

• Short Duration and Non-repeating


Multiplicative Time-Series Model

•Used Primarily for Forecasting

•Observed Value in Time Series is the product

of Components

•For Annual Data:

•For Quarterly or Monthly Data: iiii ICTY

iiiii ICSTY

Ti = Trend

Ci = Cyclical

Ii = Irregular

Si = Seasonal


Moving Averages

• Used for Smoothing

• Series of Arithmetic Means Over Time

• Result Dependent Upon Choice of L, Length

of Period for Computing Means

• For Annual Time-Series, L Should be Odd

• Example: 3-year Moving Average

First Average:

Second Average:

• Weighted Moving Average

Weights Decline Exponentially

Most Recent Observation Weighted Most

• Used for Smoothing and Short Term Forecasting

• Weights Are:

Subjectively Chosen

Ranges from 0 to 1

Close to 0 for Smoothing

Close to 1 for Forecasting


Exponential Weight: Example

Year Response Smoothing Value Forecast

(W = .2)

1994 2 2 NA

1995 5 (.2)(5) + (.8)(2) = 2.6 2

1996 2 (.2)(2) + (.8)(2.6) = 2.48 2.6

1997 2 (.2)(2) + (.8)(2.48) = 2.384 2.48

1998 7 (.2)(7) + (.8)(2.384) = 3.307 2.384

Autogregressive Modeling

• Used for Forecasting

• Takes Advantage of Autocorrelation

1st order - correlation between consecutive

values

2nd order - correlation between values 2

periods apart

• Autoregressive Model for pth order:

Autoregressive Model: Example

The Office Concept Corp. has acquired a number of office

units (in thousands of square feet) over the last 8 years.

Autoregressive Modeling Steps

1. Choose p: Note that df = n - 2p - 1

2. Form a series of “lag predictor” variables

Yi-1 , Yi-2 , … Yi-p

3. Use Excel to run regression model using all p variables

4. Test significance of Ap

If null hypothesis rejected, this model is selected

If null hypothesis not rejected, decrease p by 1 and repeat


Selecting A Forecasting Model

• Perform A Residual Analysis

Look for pattern or direction

• Measure Sum Square Errors - SSE

(residual errors)

• Measure Residual Errors Using MAD

• Use Simplest Model

Principle of Parsimony

Principal of Parsimony

• Suppose 2 or more models provide good fit for data

• Select the Simplest Model

Simplest model types:

least-squares linear

least-square quadratic

1st order autoregressive

More complex types:

2nd and 3rd order autoregressive

least-squares exponential


Forecasting With Seasonal Data

• Use Categorical Predictor Variables with Least-Square Trending Fitting

• Exponential Model with Quarterly Data:

The bi provides the multiplier for the ith quarter relative to the 4th quarter.

Qi = 1 if ith quarter and 0 if not

Xj = the coded variable denoting the time period
