Multiplicative Seasonal ARIMA Models
Multiplicative Seasonal ARIMA Models
Models
• Let us introduce several modifications made to the ARIMA model
to account for seasonal and nonstationary behavior.
• Often, the dependence on the past tends to occur most strongly at
multiples of some underlying seasonal lag S.
• For example, with monthly economic data, there is a strong yearly
component occurring at lags that are multiples of S= 12 because
of the strong connections of all activity to the calendar year.
• Data taken quarterly will exhibit the yearly repetitive period at s
= 4 quarters.
• Natural phenomena such as temperature also have strong
components corresponding to seasons.
• Hence, the natural variability of many physical, biological,
and economic processes tends to match with seasonal
fluctuations.
• Because of this , it is appropriate to introduce
autoregressive and moving average polynomials that
identify with the seasonal lags.

• The ordinary autoregressive and moving average
components are represented by polynomials and of orders
p and q, respectively

Example
• Model:
the multiplicative nature of the
model implies that the coefficient
of is the product of the
coefficients of and
rather than a free parameter.
• The multiplicative model assumption seems to work well
with many seasonal time series data sets
• while reducing the number of parameters that must be
estimated.
