10.4 Time Series Analysis
For time series analysis, there are two data format: ts (time series) and xts (extensible time series). The former needs not have time stamp and can be converted from a vector directly. The latter takes date and time seriously so that it can only be defined with date and/or time columns. We cover the basic time series models, namely, ARMA, GARCH, and VAR.
10.4.1 Time Series data
Function ts convert any vector into time series data.
## Time Series:
## Start = 1
## End = 8
## Frequency = 1
## [1] 2 3 7 8 9 12 8 7We first define a time series (ts) object for the estimation. Note that ts is similar to xts but without date and time.
## Time Series:
## Start = 1
## End = 3
## Frequency = 1
## a b d
## 1 3 1 1
## 2 4 2 2
## 3 5 4 310.4.2 Extensible Time Series Data
To handle high frequency data (with minute and second), we need the package xts. The package allows you to define Extendible Time Series (xts) object.
The following code installs and loads the xts package.
Consider the following data for our extendible time series
date <- c("2007-01-03","2007-01-04",
"2007-01-05","2007-01-06",
"2007-01-07","2007-01-08",
"2007-01-09","2007-01-10")
time <- c("08:00:01","09:00:01",
"11:00:01","13:00:01",
"14:00:01","15:00:01",
"15:10:01","15:20:03")
price <- c(2,3,7,8,9,12,8,7)Now we are ready to define xts object. The code as.POSIXct() convert strings into date format with minutes and seconds.
df <-data.frame(date=date, time=time, price=price)
df$datetime <-paste(df$date, df$time)
df$datetime <-as.POSIXct(df$datetime,
format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
df <- xts(df,order.by=df$datetime) For conversion with dates only, we use POSIXlt() instead of POSIXct().
10.4.3 ARMA
Autoregressive moving average model can be estimated using the arima() function.
The following code estimates an AR(1) model:
##
## Call:
## arima(x = price, order = c(1, 0, 0))
##
## Coefficients:
## ar1 intercept
## 0.6661 6.1682
## s.e. 0.2680 2.1059
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 5.33: log likelihood = -18.34, aic = 42.68The following code estimates an AR(2) model:
##
## Call:
## arima(x = price, order = c(2, 0, 0))
##
## Coefficients:
## ar1 ar2 intercept
## 0.8301 -0.3026 6.5911
## s.e. 0.3357 0.3638 1.7241
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 4.831: log likelihood = -18.01, aic = 44.02The following code estimates an MA(1) model:
##
## Call:
## arima(x = price, order = c(0, 0, 1))
##
## Coefficients:
## ma1 intercept
## 0.7945 6.8862
## s.e. 0.4393 1.3412
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 4.936: log likelihood = -18.23, aic = 42.46The following code estimates an MA(2) model:
##
## Call:
## arima(x = price, order = c(0, 0, 2))
##
## Coefficients:
## ma1 ma2 intercept
## 0.8292 0.1459 6.8262
## s.e. 0.3915 0.3245 1.4677
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 4.945: log likelihood = -18.14, aic = 44.28The following code estimates an ARMA(1,1) model:
##
## Call:
## arima(x = price, order = c(1, 0, 1))
##
## Coefficients:
## ar1 ma1 intercept
## 0.3551 0.4889 6.6417
## s.e. 0.7701 0.9088 1.8799
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 4.911: log likelihood = -18.08, aic = 44.16Sometimes, we just want to keep the coefficient.
## ar1 ma1 intercept
## 0.3551015 0.4889285 6.6417184The following code shows the plot of residuals.
R has a convenient function to autofit() the parameter of ARIMA model. This requires the forecast package. The following code installs and loads the forecast package:
Now we are ready to find the best ARIMA model.
## Series: price
## ARIMA(0,1,0)
##
## sigma^2 estimated as 6.429: log likelihood=-16.45
## AIC=34.89 AICc=35.69 BIC=34.84One important function of time series model is forecasting. The following code gives the two-step ahead forecast:
The following shows the forecast plot.
10.4.4 GARCH
To estimate ARCH and GARCH model, we need to install and load package rugarch.
We will estimate GARCH(1,1) with ARMA(1,1) on generate random number
a <- runif(1000, min=0, max=100) #random number
Spec <-ugarchspec(
variance.model=list(model="sGARCH",
garchOrder=c(1,1)),
mean.model=list(armaOrder=c(1,1)),
distribution.model="std")
Garch <- ugarchfit(spec=Spec, data=a)
