Abstract

Some seasonal time series models are considered which are appropriate for the univariate modelling and forecasting of many time series. The equivalent ARIMA forms of these models provide the basis for a critical examination of the Box-Jenkins approach to seasonal model-building. It is concluded that this approach is unsatisfactory and in particular can often result in over-differencing and the adoption of an inappropriate model. Two main reasons for this are discussed: (a) the inadequate class of models considered which rests on a restricted view of parsimony, and (b) the shortcomings of the basic approach to model identification.
