ARIMA models have several limitations, starting with their assumption of linear relationships in data. They struggle to capture complex, nonlinear patterns that are common in real-world datasets, such as stock prices influenced by market sentiment or demand affected by unpredictable events. ARIMA is most effective for datasets with clear linear trends and seasonality. Another limitation is the requirement for stationarity. Time series data often exhibit trends or seasonality, requiring preprocessing like differencing or seasonal adjustments before applying ARIMA. While this ensures the model works correctly, it can be time-consuming and may not always yield a truly stationary series. ARIMA also requires manual selection or fine-tuning of parameters (p, d, q), which can be challenging. Although tools like auto_arima automate this process, they may not always provide optimal results. Moreover, ARIMA does not handle missing values well, and its forecasting horizon is limited; predictions become less accurate as the horizon extends, making it unsuitable for long-term forecasts.
