Pаrt I: ARIMA аnd GARCH Mоdelling (25 Pоints) This аnalysis will be perfоrmed on the pre-pandemic prices data, specifically 1993 to 2019 (inclusive). For this analysis, we will divide the data into training and testing data, while we will focus on a 6-month (2-quarter) rolling predictions for the years 2018 and 2019. That is, after performing the predictions in this analysis you should obtain forecast for the last (pre-pandemic) years. 1a. Using the DJ prices data, apply the iterative BIC selection process to find the best, non-trivial ARIMA model order using the max orders (pmax = 3, qmax = 3) and d orders 1 or 2. Make sure to apply the model fit to the training data. Fit each model, then evaluate the Box-Ljung test results when performed on the model residuals and squared residuals. Apply this procedure for the training data in each of the four different training & testing data divisions. Compare the order selections as the training data change and comment on the differences if any. In total, there will be 4 break points for the training datasets (Jan 1993 to Dec 2017, June 2018, Dec 2018 and Jun 2019). Note: Use the 'ML' method in the arima() command to ensure convergence. For ease of implementation, you may define your own ARMA and Box Test functions first and then apply it on the 4 different training datasets and compare the results. 1b. Using the DJ prices data, consider the second order differenced data, and apply the ARMA-GARCH with orders (2, 1) x (1, 1). Fit each model, then evaluate the Box-Ljung test results when performed on the model residuals and squared residuals. Apply this to each of the training datasets from the four training&testing data divisions (Jan 1993 to Dec 2017, June 2018, Dec 2018 and Jun 2019). Comment on if the addition of the GARCH component seems to have improved the fit. Did the fit improved in terms of correlation in the residuals and squared residuals? 1c. Apply the selected ARIMA models in (1a) and obtain the rolling forecasts for years 2018 and 2019 (6 months predictions for each training datasets). Visualize the combined predictions (24 months data) versus the observed data and derive the MAPE and PM accuracy measures. What can you say about the accuracy of the predictions over the two year period? Part II: Multivariate Modeling (20 Points) 2a. Using the pre-pandemic price data after a first order difference, fit an unrestricted VAR model using the order selected with the AIC metric and maximum order p=15. If other metrics would potentially select different orders, state what orders were selected and comment on the possible cause of the difference. Similarly to Part I, you will apply the VAR fit on the four different training&testing data divisions. Compare the order selected for each of the data division. 2b. For each time series in the VAR model in part (a) using the first data division only, apply the Wald test to identify any lead and lag relationships between the three price time series. Use a significance level of $alpha=0.05$. Comment on any potential relationships. Based on this result, does the VAR model seem to indicate that it will provide better predictions than the ARIMA model applied to individual time series? Are there any contemporaneous relationships between the three time series? 2c. Using the VAR models fitted in (2a) for each data division and using the order selected using AIC, obtain the 6-month (2-quarter) rolling predictions similarly as in Part I for DJ series. Visualize the predictions versus the observed data and derive the MAPE and PM accuracy measures. What can you say about the accuracy of the predictions over the two year period? Which models ARIMA vs VAR provide better predictions? Note: When obtaining the predictions, they will need to be for the original data not the differenced data. Part III: Modeling using Full Data (15 Points) 3. We will apply the same data modeling as in Part II but this time using the full data and considering rolling predictions for 2020 and 2021. Apply the VAR model (2a) and prediction (2c). Compare the predictions based on the pre-pandemic data vs. full data including the challenging periods during the pandemic. What can you conclude? How do the model compare in terms of order selection and predictions? Comment on the inclusion of the entire data versus the results based on the pre-pandemic data. How did the pandemic impact the model predictions?
