Box Jenkins Methodology
? ?

George Box and Gwilyn Jenkins (1976) Applies Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to make forecasts

?

Its a 3 step process
? Model

Selection ? Parameter Estimation ? Model checking

Box Jenkins Pre-requisites
?

Data needs to be Stationary
? Stationary

means probability distribution does not change when shifted in time or space. ? As a result parameters like mean, autocorrelation and variance also do not change over time.
?

Any seasonality present, needs to be modeled.

ARIMA (p, d, q)
Generally written as ARIMA( p, d, q) where p = order of autoregressive model d = order of integration q = order of moving average model For e.g.:- ARIMA( 1,1,1) Equation :Xt = Yt – Yt-1 Xt = A + B1 Xt-1+ ut + C1ut-1

Forecasting of NO2 Concentrations
?

The presence of any pollutant today is related to its presence in the past – high correlation Prediction of NO2 air pollutant using Time series forecasting model has been done based on NAMP Data. Box-Jenkins approach is the most suitable one.

Case Study-NO2 forecast model
?

Three years data series for the period 2000-02 for NO2 at ITO, New Delhi was considered for fitting the Time Series Models.

?

The scatter plot was studied and the plot showed periodicity as well as seasonality .

Conclusion of Study
?

The model based on Box-Jenkins approach has proved to be satisfactory seeing that Approx. 87% of the forecasts could be predicted correctly. The models are not responsive to the sudden change in the atmospheric conditions, emissions and other activities which result in sudden rise in the pollution levels.
