Pаrt I: ARIMA аnd GARCH Mоdelling (30 Pоints) 1а. Plоt the time series and the ACF for Dow Jones(DJ) and MMM and comment on their stationarity properties. Also, explore and comment if there is any correlation between DJ and MMM and what implications this would have in forecasting the two time series. 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. Divide the data into training and testing sets, using the period January 2000 to August 2023 to train and the last 4 observations for testing, i.e. September 2023 to December 2023. Using the Dow Jones price, apply the iterative BIC selection process to find the best, *non-trivial* ARIMA-GARCH model order using the ARIMA max orders (pmax = 5, qmax = 5) and d orders of max 1, and only small orders for the GARCH model. Explain how the selected model captures features of the time series. 1c. Evaluate the Box-Ljung test results, the ACF on the residuals and the squared residuals from the model you chose in question 1b. Comment on your results. 1d. Apply the selected model in (1b) and obtain the rolling forecasts for the 4 months of data for 2023. Visualize the predictions versus the observed data and derive the MAPE and PM for each time series. What can you say about the accuracy of the predictions over the two year period? *Note* If your model uses the differenced data, you will have to get the actual predictions from your forecast outcome. 1e. Using the final order selected for the ARIMA-GARCH model for Dow Jones data in question 1(b), estimate a TPARCH model, write the model equation and evaluate if there is a need to control for asymmetry in the model. Support your conclusion using the News Impact curve to compare the GARCH model from 1b and the TGARCH. Part II: Multivariate Modeling (30 Points) 2a. Fit a VARX(p) model for p up to an order equal to 8 using the training data of the price of MMM and Dow Jones as endogenous variables and CPI as an exogenous variable. Use the AIC as the order selection criterion. Display the model summary of the selected VAR model. What is the selected order? Is the fitted model stable? Hint: You can analyze the Roots of the characteristic polynomial 2b. Fit an unrestricted VAR(p) model using MMM and Dow Jones. Select the order with the AIC information criterion and maximum order p=8. Compare the model with that fitted in Question 2a. 2c. For each time series in the VAR model in part (b), apply the Wald test to identify any lead and lag relationships between the two time series. Use a significance level of
