Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA): Sunspots data

This notebook replicates the existing ARMA notebook using the statsmodels.tsa.statespace.SARIMAX class rather than the statsmodels.tsa.ARMA class.

In-sample dynamic prediction. How good does our model do?

In [21]:

predict_sunspots = arma_mod30.predict(start='1990', end='2012', dynamic=True)

In [22]:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8))
dta.loc['1950':].plot(ax=ax)
predict_sunspots.plot(ax=ax, style='r');

In [23]:

def mean_forecast_err(y, yhat):
    return y.sub(yhat).mean()

In [24]:

mean_forecast_err(dta.SUNACTIVITY, predict_sunspots)
