This is, in a first step, typically done in form of an autoregressive (AR) or autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model described in the previous chapter. In case of nonstationarity, we consider autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA)(p, d, q) models given by (). To do so, we difference the original level series, possibly nonstationary, until it becomes stationary and model the differenced series in the standard ARMA framework. The original level data can be recovered from the differenced series by integration. There are two basic approaches to provide methods (procedures) for assessing the appropriateness of ARIMA models to describe a given time series. The first approach is attributed to Box and In essence, the Box-Jenkins approach involves inspecting the computed sample autocorrelation functions (SACFs) and sample partial autocorrelation functions (SPACFs) of the time series and comparing them with the theoretical autocorrelation functions (ACFs) and partial autocorrelation functions (PACFs). Once a good match is observed, respective parameters are computed. The major advantage of this approach lies in its systematic application of steps in model building. The disadvantage is that the visual examination of SACFs and SPACFs is rather subjective. The second approach is to select a set of possible (p, q) combinations and estimate the parameters of the corresponding ARMA(p,q) T 1 G. E. P. Box and G. M.
