MAS6019 / MAS6061 Time Series Project

Analysis of Daily Temperatures in Melbourne

A time series data set consisting of daily maximum temperatures (0C)

in Melbourne can be found in the file TempMelb1

. The data set covers a

period of 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1990 and it is kindly provided

for educational use by the Time Series Data Library and the data provider

DataMarket ( DataMarket.com ).

Write a report on the data, concentrating on (a) describing their structure

and (b) discussing time series modelling and forecasting. The report will

account for 15% of the Semester 2 assessment of this module. For the deadline

of submission, consult the Course work schedule.

Some comments/suggestions and notes on organisational matters follow

(however, note that they are not mandatory). There is no page limit for the

report.

Comments and suggestions

1. A Box-Jenkins approach to part (a) of the question would use differencing

to ensure stationarity. Model diagnostics can be used to ensure

that the model fit is acceptable. However, it has to be recognised that

differencing has limitations. You will find that differencing for a very

long seasonal cycle does not work in R. You will have to deal with this

issue in the project.

2. In the light of (1), a direct approach of modelling, which does not need

to rely on the differencing process, could be the use of an appropriate

state space model.

3. To address forecasting you may decide to provide forecasts for timepoints

in the end of the series. Another approach could be to split the

data in parts and forecast already known values pretending they were

not available to you initially.

Notes on Procedures and your Report

1. This is an assessed piece of work, so answers to questions about it

must be available to everyone equally. Any questions should therefore

be posted on the discussion board.

2. Distance Learners have not yet had the benefit of participating in

MAS6005, so the criteria that are laid down for reports in MAS6005

will not be applied here. In particular, there will be no explicit consideration

of presentation issues in the assessment. Of course, what you

present has to be intelligible, otherwise I cannot mark it.

3. There is no page limit, but you need to use the space wisely. Very short

reports are not likely to cover the ground (especially with a few plots)

and very long reports are likely to be repetitive.

4. The body of the report should be in connected English, illustrated if

appropriate by suitable plots (though plots should appear only if they

are relevant to the argument and only if they are referred to explicitly

in the body of the report). The main body of the report should not

contain non-graphical software (e.g. R) output or jargon; you may put

annotated software output in appendices if you think it is important to

have it on record.

5. You should write the report as thought for an intelligent and statisticallytrained

reader (another MSc student for example) who knows the general

technical background of time series, but has not met these data

before, nor the software you use.

6. The report should be self-contained; it should not call for calculations

or clairvoyance on the part of the reader.

7. The report should be written so that the reader does not need to look

at appendices unless he/she wants to check something you have done.
