Time-Series Modeling and Decomposition

Read this article. It provides an overview of techniques associated with decomposition. Part 4, The Business Cycle, presents how this tool is applied in business operations. Why do you think decomposition is useful in understanding seasonality costs?

LINEAR AND NONLINEAR TIME SERIES MODELS

Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) Model

If an ARMA model is assumed for the error variance, the model is a Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model introduced by Bollerslev in 1996. In that case, the GARCH (p, q) model (where p is the order of the GARCH terms \sigma_{t}^{2} and q is the order of the ARCH terms \varepsilon_{t} is given by

\sigma_{t}^{2}=\alpha_{0}+\alpha_{1} \varepsilon_{t}^{2}+\ldots+\alpha_{q} \varepsilon_{t-q}^{2}+\beta_{1} \sigma_{t-1}^{2}+\ldots+\beta_{p} \sigma_{t-p}^{2}=\alpha_{0}+\sum_{i=1}^{q} \alpha_{i} \varepsilon_{t-i}^{2}+\sum_{i=1}^{p} \beta_{i} \sigma_{t-i}^{2}                      (28)

The Nonlinear GARCH (NGARCH) also known as Nonlinear Asymmetric GARCH(1,1) (NAGARCH) was introduced by Engle and Ng in 1993

\sigma_{t}^{2}=\omega+\alpha\left(\varepsilon_{t-1}-\theta \sigma_{t-1}\right)^{2}+\beta \sigma_{t-1}^{2}.                                                                                                                         (29)

\alpha, \beta \geq 0 ; \omega>0. For stock returns, parameter \theta is usually estimated to be positive; in this case, it reflects the leverage effect, signifying that negative returns increase future volatility by a larger amount than positive returns of the same magnitude.
