Goodness of Fit Test of an Autocorrelated Time Series Cubic Smoothing Spline Model

Abstract

We investigated the finite properties as well as the goodness of fit test for the cubic smoothing spline selection methods like the Generalized Maximum Likelihood (GML), Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) and Mallow CP criterion (MCP) estimators for time-series observation when there is the presence of Autocorrelation in the error term of the model. The Monte-Carlo study considered 1,000 replication with six sample sizes: 30; 60; 120; 240; 480 and 960, four degree of autocorrelations; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; and 0.9 and three smoothing parameters; lambdaGML= 0.07271685, lambdaGCV= 0.005146929, lambdaMCP= 0.7095105. The cubic smoothing spline selection methods were also applied to a real-life dataset. The Predictive mean square error, R-square, and adjusted R-square criteria for assessing finite properties and goodness of fit among competing models discovered that the performance of the estimators is affected by changes in the sample sizes and autocorrelation levels of the simulated and real-life data set. The study concluded that the Generalized Cross-Validation estimator provides a better fit for Autocorrelated time series observation. It is recommended that the GCV works well at the four autocorrelation levels and provides the best fit for time-series observations at all sample sizes considered. This study can be applied to; non –parametric regression, non –parametric forecasting, spatial, survival and econometric observations.

On some techniques of selecting spline smoothing parameters for a correlated dataset with autocorrelation structure in the residual

“…(See Figures 1 and 2). This discovery is in agreement with the Monte-Carlo experiments' results from [2], [18], [19], [24], [25], [26], and [27]. It is also noticed that the predictive mean square error of the proposed smoothing method (PSM) goes to zero at a faster rate in the presence of autocorrelation error than the PMSE of the other smoothing methods considered in this study (see Tables 3 and 4).…”

Modeling and Forecasting Selected Meteorological Parameters for the Environmental Awareness in Sub-Sahel West Africa Stations

“…Furthermore, agricultural products are subject to meteorological, ecological, and environmental variation [8,[10][11][12][13][14], wherein planetary and chronological qualities have a very important link over the environment by applying time series modeling i.e ARIMA model [5,[15][16][17][18]. International heating impacts, according to [19][20][21][22], contribute to the development of the atmospheric structure; nevertheless, this effect is on the upcoming alterations in the cli-matic growth of the environment, where the occurrence and size of diverse happenings affect the growth of any region [6,23]. According to the international heating effect, an increase in temperature and a decrease in rainfall lead to famine in any environment; nevertheless, this contributes to multiple pressures on food as a result of reduced rainfall and an increase in environmental temperature [17].…”

Effect of Total Active Voice Call Subscribers on Economic Growth in Nigeria: An Application of Cross-Sectional Panel Data Model

“…According to research, the mobile communication sector supported approximately 500,000 employment in Nigeria in 2017 and added $21 billion, or 5.5% of the total Gross domestic product (GDP) to the nation's GDP. The study by [6] claims that the digital economy also contributed $1.8 billion in taxes, or 16% of all government tax collection in Nigeria. It is confirmed that Nigerian daily life has improved as a result of the government, industry, and consumer embrace of digital services.…”

“…Having these qualities makes a model a proper impacts model. Two strategies are used to appraise condition (6). The coefficient are known as fixed impacts, and the expression "fixed impacts" are usually alludes more to the assessment interaction and different assumption that we make than it does to whether the coefficient are random or fixed.…”
