The time series forecasting strategy, Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, is applied on the time series data consisting of Adobe stock prices, in order to forecast the future prices for a period of one year. ARIMA model is used due to its simple and flexible implementation for short term predictions of future stock prices. In order to achieve stationarity, the time series data requires second-order differencing. The comparison and parameterization of the ARIMA model has been done using auto-correlation plot, partial auto-correlation plot and auto.arima() function provided in R (which automatically finds the best fitting model based on the AIC and BIC values). The ARIMA (0, 2, 1) (0, 0, 2) [12] is chosen as the best fitting model, with a very less MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) of 3.854958%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
