Box-Jenkins Method

The Box-Jenkins method is a statistical approach used for analyzing and forecasting time series data. It involves identifying patterns in historical data, such as trends or seasonal variations, and then modeling these patterns using specific mathematical equations. By fitting a model based on past observations, the Box-Jenkins method can predict future values. The process typically includes three main steps: modeling, estimating parameters, and validating the model's accuracy. This method is particularly useful in various fields, such as economics and finance, where understanding and predicting trends over time is crucial for decision-making.
