Selecting parameters for an ARIMA model involves determining p, d, and q through a combination of analysis and testing. Start by identifying if differencing (d) is necessary to make the time series stationary. Perform a unit root test like the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, and if the p-value is high, apply differencing until the series achieves stationarity. A non-stationary series can lead to inaccurate forecasts. Next, identify p (AR order) and q (MA order) by examining the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) plots. For example, a PACF plot that cuts off after lag k suggests an AR(k) process, while an ACF plot that cuts off indicates an MA process. Trial-and-error can also help fine-tune these parameters. Tools like grid search and information criteria, such as AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) or BIC (Bayesian Information Criterion), assist in evaluating models with different parameters. Use these to balance model complexity and accuracy. Modern libraries like Python's statsmodels simplify parameter selection through built-in functions like auto_arima, which automatically tests combinations of p, d, and q.
