Constrain the Model Selection Set
TimeSeriesModelFit allows you to automate selection from a given family of models or from a given range of models, as well as to fix integration order or seasonality.
Generate data with small seasonality.
| In[1]:= |  X |
| Out[1]= |  |
Use TimeSeriesModelFit to automatically find the most suitable time series model.
| In[2]:= |  X |
| Out[2]= |  |
Based on variances of parameter estimators, the second and the third autoregressive coefficients are not significantly different from zero, suggesting possible seasonality of 4.
| In[3]:= |  X |
| Out[3]= |  |
Confirm the seasonality guess with the plot of the sample partial correlation function.
| In[4]:= |  X |
| Out[4]= |  |
Restrict the search to seasonal ARMA family with seasonality of 4.
| In[5]:= |  X |
| Out[5]= |  |
Compare with fitting longer autoregressive models.
| In[6]:= |  X |
| Out[6]= |  |
Both the Bayesian information criterion and the Akaike information criterion favor the seasonal model.
| In[7]:= |  X |
| Out[7]//TableForm= | |
