Abstract
Selection of parameters for Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model in the prediction process is one of the most important tasks. In the present study, groundnut data was utlised to decide appropriate p, d, q parameters for ARIMA model for the prediction purpose. Firstly, the models were fit to data without splitting into training and validation/testing sets and evaluated for their efficiency in predicting the area and production of groundnut over the years. Meanwhile, models are compared among other fitted ARIMA models with different p, d, q parameters based on decision criteria’s viz., ME, RMSE, MAPE, AIC, BIC and R-Square. The ARIMA model with parameters p-2 d-1-2, q-1-2 are found adequate in predicting the area as well as production of groundnut. The model ARIMA (2, 2, 2) and ARIMA (2,1,1) predicted the area of groundnut crop with minimum error estimates and residual characteristics (ei). The models were fit into split data i.e., training and test data set, but these models’ prediction power (R-Square) declined during testing. In case of predicting the area, ARIMA (2,2,2) was consistent over the split data but it was not consistent while predicting the production over years. Feed-forward neural networks with single hidden layer were fit to complete, training and split data. The neural network models provided better estimates compared to Box-Jenkins ARIMA models. The data was analysed using R-Studio.
