En esta era, a menudo necesitamos análisis predictivos para ayudarnos a tomar decisiones. Una de las cosas importantes en la predicción es predecir datos futuros. Este tipo de predicción a menudo también se denomina pronóstico.
La previsión es necesaria en muchas situaciones: determinar si se debe construir otra central eléctrica en los próximos cinco años requiere pronosticar la demanda futura; el personal de programación en el centro de llamadas la próxima semana necesita pronósticos de volumen de llamadas; Inventario de inventario requiere previsión de requisitos de inventario1.
El propósito de este artículo es presentar un método de pronóstico que involucre variables predictoras, a saberARIMAX. Específicamente, este artículo tiene como objetivo:
– Introducción de pronósticos que involucran predictores
– Introducción y aplicaciones de ARIMAX
– Comparación de los resultados de pronóstico de ARIMA con ARIMAX

ARIMAX o Regresión ARIMA es una extensión del modelo ARIMA. En el pronóstico, este método también involucra variables independientes.4. El modelo ARIMAX representa la composición de la serie temporal de salida en los siguientes componentes:autorregresivo(ARKANSAS),media móvil(MA), integrado (I) y factor externo (X)5. El factor externo (X) refleja la agregación adicional del valor presente\(u_i(t)\)y valores pasados\(u_i(t-j)\)de la entrada de factores externos (variables independientes) en el modelo ARIMAX6.
Rumus Modelos de regresión lineal múltiple:
\[Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1*x_1+…+\beta_i*x_i+\varepsilon\]
Dónde\(Y\)es una variable dependiente de la variable predictora\(x_i\)y\(\varepsilon\)generalmente se asume que es error/ruido blanco. vamos a reemplazar\(\varepsilon\)con\(Nuevo Testamento\)en la ecuación. Error\(\phi_t\)se supone que sigue los resultados del modelo ARIMA. Por ejemplo, si\(Nuevo Testamento\)siguiendo el modelo ARIMA(1,1,1), podemos escribir
\[Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1x_1+\beta_2x_2+…+\beta_ix_i+\eta_t\]
\[(1-\phi_1B)(1-B)\eta_t = (1+\phi_1B)\varepsilon_t\]
Dónde\(\varepsilon_t\), es la serie de ruido blanco. El modelo ARIMAX tiene dos términos de error; el error del modelo de regresión se denota por\(\phi_t\)y errores del modelo ARIMA denotados por\(\varepsilon_t\).
En este caso, el cambio porcentual en la economía de EE. UU. se pronosticará utilizando datosus_changede bibliotecasfpp3.

Análisis de datos exploratorios (EDA)
Antes de hacer el modelo, EDA se lleva a cabo primero haciendo un gráfico de líneas de cada variable tanto dependiente como independiente para averiguar el patrón de cada variable, ya sea que sea estacionaria o no.
us_change %>% pivot_longer(-Quarter, names_to = "variable", values_to = "value") %>% ggplot(aes(x = Quarter, y = value)) + geom_line() + facet_grid(variable ~ ., scales = "free_y") + labs(title = "Perubahan Sosio-Ekonomi USA dari waktu ke waktu") + theme_minimal()
De la gráfica anterior, parece que las cinco variables (Consumo, Ingreso, Producción, Ahorro y Desempleo) son estacionarias. No obstante, se seguirán realizando pruebas estadísticas para comprobar la estacionariedad de los datos para que los resultados obtenidos puedan ser objetivos. En este caso, puedes usar la prueba ADF o la prueba KPSS (es mejor probar ambas).
Prueba ADF
Para obtener resultados definitivos y objetivos, podemos hacer una prueba de Dickey-Fuller aumentada (ADF) usando una funciónadf.prueba()de bibliotecastseries.
H0: Tiene raíz unitaria (no estacionaria)
H1: Sin raíz unitaria (estacionario)
valor p < 0,05 (alfa), estación de datos
prueba KPSS
También se recomienda realizar otra prueba (prueba KPSS) para obtener una conclusión relativamente constante y cierta basada en datos históricos mediante el uso de una funciónkpss.prueba()de bibliotecastseries
H0: media constante y varianza (datos estacionarios)
H1: media y varianza no son constantes (datos no estacionarios)
df <- us_change[, -1]stationary_test <- data.frame("ADF" = double(), "KPSS" = double())for (i in 1:ncol(df)) { stationary_test[i, "ADF "] <- adf.test(pull(df[, i]))$p.value prueba_estacionaria[i, "KPSS"] <- kpss.test(pull(df[, i]))$p.value}prueba_estacionaria %>% mutar (variable = nombres de columnas (df)) %>% seleccionar (variable, ADF, KPSS)#> variable ADF KPSS#> 1 Consumo 0.01 0.1#> 2 Renta 0.01 0.1#> 3 Producción 0.01 0.1#> 4 Ahorro 0.01 0.1#> 5 Desempleo 0.01 0.1Con base en el valor p de la prueba ADF, todas las variables tienen un valor p de 0.01 (Estacionario) y la prueba KPSS es de 0.1 (Estacionario), por lo que se puede concluir que las cinco variables son significativamente estacionarias.
Validación cruzada

Intentaremos pronosticar los datos de prueba, luego calcularemos los errores de los dos modelos (ARIMA y ARIMAX)
predicción_arima <- pronóstico (objeto = fit_arima, h = nrow (prueba))Antes de calcular el error obtenido, primero veremos la visualización de los resultados de pronóstico de los dos modelos.
predicción_arima %>% autoplot() + tema_mínimo()
Modelo apropiado con ARIMAX
Luego intentaremos ajustar el modelo ARIMAX siendo la variable dependiente el nivel de consumo y las variables independientes el nivel de ingreso, nivel de producción, fondo de reserva y tasa de desempleo. Luego intentaremos comparar los resultados de los modelos ARIMA y ARIMAX.
Mientras tanto, si desea pronosticar, pero no tiene un valor de predictor en el futuro, puede hacer pronósticos en el predictor primero y luego pronosticar en la variable de destino.

predicción_arimax <- pronóstico (objeto = ajuste_arimax, nuevos_datos = prueba)predicción_arimax %>% autoplot(tren) + theme_minimal()
Error
Según los dos gráficos anteriores, el modelo ARIMAX puede predecir mejor los patrones de consumo que el modelo ARIMA. Para probar esto, calcularemos los errores de los dos modelos, luego compararemos los resultados.
imprimir (pegar ("RMSE modelo ARIMA:", ronda (precisión (objeto = predicción_arima, datos = prueba) [2], 2)))#> [1] "RMSE modelo ARIMA: 0.59"print(paste("Modelo RMSE ARIMAX:", round(pronóstico::precisión(objeto = predicción_arimax, datos = us_change)$RMSE, 2)))#> [1] "RMSE modelo ARIMAX: 0.12"Del resultado anterior se sabe que el modelo ARIMAX produce un error menor que el modelo ARIMA. Así, el modelo final a utilizar es el modelo ARIMAX. El modelo ARIMAX debe cumplir con varios supuestos para que los resultados de los datos de pronóstico en el futuro sean AZULES (mejor, lineal, imparcial, estimación)
Suposición
En el modelado de series de tiempo, hay 2 suposiciones que deben cumplirse, a saber, la normalidad de los residuos y la ausencia de autocorrelación. En

El modelo ARIMAX es un método que se puede utilizar como solución en el pronóstico de series de tiempo que involucran factores exógenos. Esto se debe a que no siempre es posible predecir una variable de serie temporal basándose únicamente en información sobre la propia variable en el pasado, es posible que la variable también esté altamente correlacionada con factores externos, como datos en el caso socioeconómico. Sin embargo, lo que debe subrayarse es que el modelo ARIMAX es bastante difícil de interpretar a diferencia del modelo de regresión lineal porque el coeficiente estimado resultante también depende del retraso de la variable objetivo (patrón de la variable objetivo en el pasado).

A straight line can always be made to fit through two data points. Corollary: If you are not concerned with random error in your data collection process, just collect three data points.
How much data is enough for time series? ›The length of time series can vary, but are generally at least 20 observations long, and many models require at least 50 observations for accurate estimation (McCleary et al., 1980, p. 20). More data is always preferable, but at the very least, a time series should be long enough to capture the phenomena of interest.
Can ARIMA be done in Excel? ›Select the XLSTAT / Time Series Analysis / ARIMA command. Once you've clicked on the button, the ARIMA dialog box will appear. Select the data on the Excel sheet. In the Times series field you can now select the Log(Passengers) data.

Computationally expensive. Poorer performance for long term forecasts. Cannot be used for seasonal time series. Less explainable than exponential smoothing.
What are the disadvantages of ARIMA model? ›
Disadvantages of ARIMA models
ARIMA models cannot capture the interactions and dependencies between different variables, such as the effects of external factors, such as marketing, competition, or events, on the time series.
ARIMA models are more flexible than other statistical models such as exponential smoothing or simple linear regression. Forecasting in general is really tough. In practice, really advanced models do well on in-sample forecasts but not so great out in the wild, as compared to more simpler models.

What is the difference between ARIMA and XGBoost? ›ARIMA are thought specifically for time series data. On the contrary, XGBoost models are used in pure Machine Learning approaches, where we exclusively care about quality of prediction.
Is 30 data points enough? ›A sample size of 30 is fairly common across statistics. A sample size of 30 often increases the confidence interval of your population data set enough to warrant assertions against your findings.4 The higher your sample size, the more likely the sample will be representative of your population set.
How many samples will you need to take to get reliable data? ›Most statisticians agree that the minimum sample size to get any kind of meaningful result is 100. If your population is less than 100 then you really need to survey all of them.
What are the 5 key data points? ›A summary consists of five values: the most extreme values in the data set (the maximum and minimum values), the lower and upper quartiles, and the median. These values are presented together and ordered from lowest to highest: minimum value, lower quartile (Q1), median value (Q2), upper quartile (Q3), maximum value.
How much data do I need for 2 hours of streaming? ›The resolution you use also affects the amount of data you use. According to Netflix, you use about 1GB of data per hour for streaming a TV show or movie in standard definition and up to 3GB of data per hour when streaming HD video.
How much data is enough for deep learning? ›Generally speaking, the rule of thumb regarding machine learning is that you need at least ten times as many rows (data points) as there are features (columns) in your dataset. This means that if your dataset has 10 columns (i.e., features), you should have at least 100 rows for optimal results.
Why is time series data difficult? ›
Unlike random variables, time series data depend not only on randomness but also on time. The problem of time series forecasting as an extrapolation problem is extremely challenging, since one only knows the time xt, but has to estimate the states, i.e. the latent variable ω, as well as the transition function T.
Should I use ARIMA or SARIMA? ›There is no definitive answer to whether you should use ARIMA or SARIMA models for your data. It depends on the characteristics of your data, the purpose of your analysis, and the trade-off between simplicity and accuracy. A good way to start is to plot your data and look for any seasonal patterns or trends.
Is ARIMA machine learning or statistics? ›ARIMA is an acronym that stands for AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average. This is one of the easiest and effective machine learning algorithm to performing time series forecasting. This is the combination of Auto Regression and Moving average.

This finding confirms the results from previous similar studies and competitions.
Can ARIMA handle outliers? ›While the model is adept at modelling seasonality and trends, outliers are difficult to forecast for ARIMA for the very reason that they lie outside of the general trend as captured by the model.
Why you should not use ARIMA to forecast demand? ›Products with a short life-cycle won't benefit from this much data. Forecasting demand at a higher hierarchical level might help. But it will come with other challenges (reconciliation, loss of accuracy). 💻 Running ARIMA on a wide dataset is (extremely) time-consuming as each SKU needs to be optimized separately.
Why SARIMA is better than ARIMA? ›SARIMA Model
Taking a look at the model diagnostics, we can see some significant differences when compared with the standard ARIMA model. The Standardized residual is much more consistent across the graph, meaning that the data is closer to being stationary.
A major difference between regression and ARIMA in terms of application is that regression deals with autocorrelation either in the error term by eliminating or factoring out such autocorrelation before estimates of relationships are made, whereas ARIMA models attempt to build in such autocorrelation -- where it exists ...

The Python Statsmodels library provides powerful support for building (S)ARIMAX models via the statsmodels.
What are the basic assumptions of Arima model? ›Assumptions of ARIMA model
Data should be stationary – by stationary it means that the properties of the series doesn't depend on the time when it is captured. A white noise series and series with cyclic behavior can also be considered as stationary series.
ARIMA Models for Nonstationary Time Series
4.1 The autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) class of models relies on the assumption that the underlying process is weakly stationary, which restricts the mean and variance to be constant and requires the autocovariances to depend only on the time lag.
The difference between ARMA and ARIMA is the integration part. The integrated I stands for the number of times differencing is needed to make the times series stationary. ARIMA models are widely used for real life time series analysis since most times series data are non stationary and need differencing.
Is ARIMA just linear regression? ›ARIMA models are a subset of linear regression models that attempt to use the past observations of the target variable to forecast its future values. A key aspect of ARIMA models is that in their basic form, they do not consider exogenous variables.
Is ARIMA good for short term forecasting? ›A significant advantage of univariate ARIMA approach is that useful models can be developed in a relatively short time with automated State Space Forecasting algorithms. Therefore, a practitioner can often deliver significant results with ARIMA modeling early in a project for which adequate historical data exist.
Can ARIMA handle multiple seasonality? ›Yes, SARIMA model is designed for dealing with a single seasonality. To make it work for multiple seasonality, it is possible to apply a method called Fourier terms.
Can ARIMA handle seasonality? ›
A seasonal ARIMA model uses differencing at a lag equal to the number of seasons (s) to remove additive seasonal effects. As with lag 1 differencing to remove a trend, the lag s differencing introduces a moving average term. The seasonal ARIMA model includes autoregressive and moving average terms at lag s.
What is ARIMAX used for? ›ARIMAX provides forecasted values of the target variables for user-specified time periods to illustrate results for planning, production, sales and other factors.
Can ARIMA handle non stationarity? ›ARIMA models cannot handle any type of non-stationarity. For example, it does not handle ϵt with time-varying variance.
How do I know which Arma model is best? ›Choosing the Best ARMA(p,q) Model

Which type of data does ARIMA require? ›An autoregressive integrated moving average, or ARIMA, is a statistical analysis model that uses time series data to either better understand the data set or to predict future trends. A statistical model is autoregressive if it predicts future values based on past values.
What is the sample size for time series design? ›If you choose frequency of time points to be monthly, the time series will consist of 6 time points where sample size per time point is 40. If you choose frequency to be bi-weekly, there will be 12 time points in total and sample size per time point is 20.
Does data need to be stationary for ARIMA model? ›
It should be stationary in order to use ARMA(p, q) (a short way of saying ARIMA(p, 0, q) ). However, the general ARIMA model can handle nonstationary series as well.
What is the disadvantage of ARIMA? ›Disadvantages of ARIMA models
ARIMA models cannot capture the interactions and dependencies between different variables, such as the effects of external factors, such as marketing, competition, or events, on the time series.
Therefore, if the data being analyzed is time-series data, then an ARIMA model may be more appropriate for forecasting than linear regression. However, if there is a clear linear relationship between the dependent variable and one or more independent variables, then linear regression may be more appropriate.
What is the difference between ARIMA and Arimax model? ›ARIMA models are used to forecast demand data from historical time series data, as in [13]. While ARIMA is a univariate method, ARIMAX uses multiple variables to incorporate external data (e.g., environmental factors) in addition to historical demand data to forecast demand [14] .
How do I know if my ARIMA model is appropriate? ›Rules for identifying ARIMA models. General seasonal models: ARIMA (0,1,1)x(0,1,1) etc. Identifying the order of differencing and the constant: Rule 1: If the series has positive autocorrelations out to a high number of lags (say, 10 or more), then it probably needs a higher order of differencing.
What is a realistic sample size? ›A good maximum sample size is usually around 10% of the population, as long as this does not exceed 1000. For example, in a population of 5000, 10% would be 500. In a population of 200,000, 10% would be 20,000. This exceeds 1000, so in this case the maximum would be 1000.
How many sample size is enough for factor analysis? ›Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is generally regarded as a technique for large sample sizes (N), with N = 50 as a reasonable absolute minimum. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the conditions in which EFA can yield good quality results for N below 50.
What is the minimum data for forecasting? ›To automate the forecasting process we need to use a system and for any system to detect seasonality there should be a minimum of 2 data points for every period, i.e., for Jan there should be two data points from two different years to establish seasonality.
What is the difference between ARIMA and ARMA model? ›The ARIMA model is quite similar to the ARMA model other than the fact that it includes one more factor known as Integrated( I ) i.e. differencing which stands for I in the ARIMA model.
