Time Series: Definition A sequence of numerical data points in successive order, usually occurring in uniform intervals.(daily, monthly, quarterly, semi- annually or annually). Time series analysis is a forecasting or predicting too for any decision making process Read more: meseries.asp#ixzz1mCNG2jEZhttp:// meseries.asp#ixzz1mCNG2jEZ
Time Series: Identifying Variations Secular trend – the value of a variable tends to increase or decrease over a long period of time Cyclical fluctuation – business cycles that reach its peak above the trend line followed by a slump below the trend and so on Seasonal variation – involves pattern of change within a year that tend to be repeated from year to year Irregular variation – completely unpredictable and random movement
Secular Trend or Trend Population between FY05 and FY11 (In million) Source: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
Cyclical Fluctuation FY05FY06FY07 FY08 FY09FY10FY11 GDP at Factor Cost FY05 and FY11 (Rupees crore)
Seasonal Variation FY05FY06FY07 FY08 FY09FY10FY11 Agriculture Income FY05 and FY11 (Rupees crore)
Forecasting with Linear trend Y i = a + bt a = Σ Yi n b = Σ XiYi Σ Xi 2 where Xi equals a particular time period ‘t’ minus mid-level time period Y i = a + bXi, Yi equals estimated values of Yi used for forecasting future Yi ^ ^
Forecasting with Linear trend Year (t) Profit: Y (in Rs. Million) X = t Y i = a + bt Calculate trend values? Can you calculate trend values for 2012?
Forecasting with Linear trend – Problem 2 Year (t) Sales - Y (in Rs. crore) d = t – X = 2d Calculate trend values? Can you calculate trend values for 2012?
