Python | ARIMA Model for Time Series Forecasting

Components of a Time Series:

• Trend:The trend shows a general direction of the time series data over a long period of time. A trend can be increasing(upward), decreasing(downward), or horizontal(stationary).
• Seasonality:The seasonality component exhibits a trend that repeats with respect to timing, direction, and magnitude. Some examples include an increase in water consumption in summer due to hot weather conditions, or an increase in the number of airline passengers during holidays each year.
• Cyclical Component: These are the trends with no set repetition over a particular period of time. A cycle refers to the period of ups and downs, booms and slums of a time series, mostly observed in business cycles. These cycles do not exhibit a seasonal variation but generally occur over a time period of 3 to 12 years depending on the nature of the time series.
• Irregular Variation: These are the fluctuations in the time series data which become evident when trend and cyclical variations are removed. These variations are unpredictable, erratic, and may or may not be random.
• ETS Decomposition
  ETS Decomposition is used to separate different components of a time series. The term ETS stands for Error, Trend, and Seasonality.

  Code: ETS Decomposition of Airline Passengers Dataset:

  
  

  
  
  

  # Importing required libraries import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pylot as plt from statsmodels.tsa.seasonal import seasonal_decompose    # Read the AirPassengers dataset airline = pd.read_csv('AirPassengers.csv',                        index_col ='Month',                        parse_dates = True)    # Print the first five rows of the dataset airline.head()    # ETS Decomposition result = seasonal_decompose(airline['# Passengers'],                              model ='multiplicative')    # ETS plot  result.plot()

  Output:

  

  

  ARIMA Model for Time Series Forecasting
  ARIMA stands for autoregressive integrated moving average model and is specified by three order parameters: (p, d, q).

• AR(p) Autoregression – a regression model that utilizes the dependent relationship between a current observation and observations over a previous period.An auto regressive (AR(p)) component refers to the use of past values in the regression equation for the time series.
• I(d) Integration – uses differencing of observations (subtracting an observation from observation at the previous time step) in order to make the time series stationary. Differencing involves the subtraction of the current values of a series with its previous values d number of times.
• MA(q) Moving Average – a model that uses the dependency between an observation and a residual error from a moving average model applied to lagged observations. A moving average component depicts the error of the model as a combination of previous error terms. The order q represents the number of terms to be included in the model.

  Types of ARIMA Model

• ARIMA:Non-seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Averages
• SARIMA:Seasonal ARIMA
• SARIMAX:Seasonal ARIMA with exogenous variables

  Pyramid Auto-ARIMA

  The ‘auto_arima’ function from the ‘pmdarima’ library helps us to identify the most optimal parameters for an ARIMA model and returns a fitted ARIMA model.

  # To install the library pip install pmdarima    # Import the library from pmdarima import auto_arima    # Ignore harmless warnings import warnings warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")    # Fit auto_arima function to AirPassengers dataset stepwise_fit = auto_arima(airline['# Passengers'], start_p = 1, start_q = 1,                           max_p = 3, max_q = 3, m = 12,                           start_P = 0, seasonal = True,                           d = None, D = 1, trace = True,                           error_action ='ignore',   # we don't want to know if an order does not work                           suppress_warnings = True,  # we don't want convergence warnings                           stepwise = True)           # set to stepwise    # To print the summary stepwise_fit.summary()
