In a typical trend-cycle decomposition of GDP, the trend component is usually assumed to follow a random walk process. This paper considers an ARIMA trend and assesses the validity of the ARIMA trend model. I construct univariate and bivariate unobserved-components(UC) models, allowing the ARIMA trend. Estimation results using U.S. data are favorable to the ARIMA trend models. I, also, compare the forecasting performance of the UC models. Dynamic pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting exercises are implemented with recursive estimations. I find that the bivariate model outperforms the univariate model, the smoothed estimates of trend and cycle components deliver smaller forecasting errors compared to the filtered estimates, and, most importantly, allowing for the ARIMA trend can lead to statistically significant gains in forecast accuracy, providing support for the ARIMA trend model. It is worthy of notice that trend shocks play the main source of the output fluctuation if the ARIMA trend is allowed in the UC model.

The purpose of this study is to forecast the seaborne trade volume during January 1994 to December 2014 using the multiplicative seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) along with intervention factors and an artificial neural network (ANN) model. Diagnostic checks of the ARIMA model were conducted using the Ljung-Box Q and Jarque-Bera statistics. All types of ARIMA process satisfied the basic assumption of residuals. The ARIMA(2,1,0) $(1,0,1)_{12}$ model showed the lowest forecast error. In addition, the prediction error of the artificial neural network indicated a level of 5.9% on hidden layer 5, which suggests a relatively accurate forecasts. Furthermore, the ex-ante predicted values based on the ARIMA model and ANN model are presented. The result shows that the seaborne trade volume increases very slowly.

The purpose of the study is to predict the shipping business during the period of 2011 using the ARIMA-type models. This include the ARIMA and Intervention-ARIMA models. The multivariate cause-effect econometric model is not employed for not assuring a higher degree of forecasting accuracy than the univariate variable model. Such a cause-effect econometric model also fails in adjusting itself for the post-sample. This article introduces the four ARIMA models and six Intervention-ARIMA models. The monthly data cover the period January 2000 through October 2010. The out-of-sample forecasting performance is compared between the ARIMA-type models and the random walk model. Forecasting performance is measured by three summary statistics: root mean squared percent error, mean absolute percent error and mean percent error. The root mean squared percent errors of all the ARIMA-type models are somewhat higher than normally expected. Furthermore, the random walk model outperforms all the ARIMA-type models. This reveals that the BDI is just a random walk phenomenon and it's meaningless to predict the BDI using various econometric techniques. The ARIMA-type models show that the shipping market is expected to be bearish in 2011. These pessimistic ex-ante forecasts are supported by the Hodrick-Prescott filtering technique.

The forecast of a container traffic has been very important for port plan and development. Generally, statistic methods, such as regression analysis, ARIMA, have been much used for traffic forecasting. Recent research activities in forecasting with artificial neural networks(ANNs) suggest that ANNs can be a promising alternative to the traditional linear methods. In this paper, a hybrid methodology that combines both ARIMA and ANN models is proposed to take advantage of the unique strength of ARIMA and ANN models in linear and nonlinear modeling. The results with port traffic data indicate that effectiveness can differ according to the characteristics of ports.

The accuracy of forecasting is remarkably important to reduce total cost or to increase customer services, so it has been studied by many researchers. In this paper, the artificial neural network (ANN), one of the most popular nonlinear forecasting methods, is compared with autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA) model through performing a prediction of container traffic. It uses a hybrid methodology that combines both the linear ARIAM and the nonlinear ANN model to improve forecasting performance. Also, it compares the methodology with other models in performance for prediction. In designing network structure, this work specially applies the genetic algorithm which is known as the effectively optimal algorithm in the huge and complex sample space. It includes the time delayed neural network (TDNN) as well as multi-layer perceptron (MLP) which is the most popular neural network model. Experimental results indicate that both ANN and Hybrid models outperform ARIMA model.

In much the same way as the US Lehman crisis of 2008-2009 severely impacted the European economy through financial market dislocation, a European banking crisis would materially impact the US economy through a generalized increase in global risk aversion. A deepening of the European crisis could very well derail the US economic recovery and have a harmful impact on the Asian economies. This kind of vicious circle could be a bad news to the shipping companies. The purpose of the study is to predict the Baltic Dry Index representing the shipping business during the period of 2012 using the ARIMA-type models. This include the ARIMA and Intervention-ARIMA models. This article introduces the four ARIMA models and six Intervention-ARIMA models. The monthly data cover the period January 2000 through October 2011. The out-of-sample forecasting performance is also calculated. Forecasting performance is measured by three summary statistics: root mean squared percent error, mean absolute percent error and mean percent error. The root mean squared percent errors, however, are somewhat higher than normally expected. This reveals that it is very difficult to predict the BDI The ARIMA-type models show that the shipping market will be bearish in 2012. These pessimistic ex-ante forecasts are supported by the Hodrick-Prescott filtering technique.

With the development of renewable energy sector, the importance of solar energy is continuously increasing. Solar radiation forecasting is essential to accurately solar power generation forecasting. In this paper, we used time series models (ARIMA, ARIMAX, seasonal ARIMA, seasonal ARIMAX, ARIMA GARCH, ARIMAX-GARCH, seasonal ARIMA-GARCH, seasonal ARIMAX-GARCH). We compared the performance of the models using mean absolute error and root mean square error. According to the performance of the models without exogenous variables, the Seasonal ARIMA-GARCH model showed better performance model considering the problem of heteroscedasticity. However, when the exogenous variables were considered, the ARIMAX model showed the best forecasting accuracy.

The monthly flows with periodicity and trend were forecasted by multiplicative ARIMA model and then the applicability of the model was tested based on 23 years of the historical monthly flow data at Jindong river stage gauging station in the Nakdong River Basin. The parameter estimation was made with 21 years of data and the remaining two years of monthly data were used to compare the forecasted flows by ARIMA (2,0,0)$\times$$(0,1,1)_{12}$ with the observed. The results of forecast showed a good agreement with the observed, implying the applicability of multiplicative ARIMA model for forecasting monthly river flows at the Jindong site.

최근 들어 가뭄과 국지성 호우 등의 기상이변이 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 이는 국민 삶의 발전과 향상에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 전세계적으로 이에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 댐의 효율적 관리와 안정적인 운영은 홍수피해 방지, 안정적인 용수공급과 같은 국민 생활과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있어 수자원의 효율적인 운영과 이용은 장기적인 관점을 통하여 수립해야 한다. 이와 같이 댐 유입량의 예측은 유출모형의 목적 중 중요한 부분으로 확정론적 모형이 시 혹은 일유량과 같은 매우 짧은 시간의 유출을 예측하는데 주로 사용되지만 이는 매개변수의 추정이 불가능하거나 실제유역에서의 측정이 불가능 할 경우에는 모형적용에 한계가 있다. 이에 반해 추계학적 모형에 의한 유출예측은 장기간의 유출을 과거자료의 통계학적 특성변수를 매개변수로 하여 예측하는 방법으로 모형의 적용에 필요한 매개변수가 적어 그 적용성이 간편한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 계절형 ARIMA모형을 적용하여 과거자료의 적용범위, 매개변수의 산정, 적합성 판정에 대하여 판단하고, 이 모형이 월유입량의 예측에 적합한지를 검토하였다.

최근 들어 전 세계적으로 태풍과 가뭄 그리고 국지적인 호우 등의 기상변화로 인하여 수자원 종합적인 개발과 이용계획에 대한 전문적인 예측이 필요하다. 우리나라는 홍수기에 집중적인 강우 발생으로 인하여 평수기와 유입량 차이가 심한 수문특성을 가지고 있어 안정적인 수자원 공급에 대한 장기적인 관점에서 이수와 치수정책을 수립해야 한다. 본 연구는 1985년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 24년에 해당하는 한정된 기간의 짧은 유출량 자료를 갖는 대청댐 유역에서의 시계열 유입량 특성을 Box-Jenkins모형 또는 ARIMA모형을 적용하여 추계학적 분석을 실시하였다. 월유입량과 같은 비정상성 시계열에 적용될 수 있는 적절한 추계학적 모형을 찾기 위하여 모형의 식별과 모형의 추정, 모형의 검진 등의 3단계에 걸친 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 대청댐 월유입량 예측모형으로 승법계절 ARIMA$(0,1,2){\times}(1,1,0)_{12}$이 유도되었으며, 이 모형으로 1, 3, 6, 12개월의 선행기간에 대한 실시간 유입량을 예측하였다. 예측된 유입량을 2008년 실측유입량과 비교한 결과 6개월에 대한 예측의 정확성이 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 평수기와 홍수기를 구분한 예측도 실시하였으며, 평수기는 1개월 홍수기는 3개월 간격으로 예측하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 분석되었다.
