Bayesian methods furnish an attractive approach to time series data analysis. This article proposes the forecasting models that can detect trend, seasonality, auto regression and outliers in time series data related to some covariates. Cumulative Weibull distribution functions for trend, dummy variables for seasonality, binary selections for outliers and latent autoregression for autocorrelated time series data are used for the data analysis. The Gibbs sampling, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, is used for the parameter estimation. The proposed models are applied to vegetable price time series data in Thailand. According to the RMSE, MAPE and MAE criteria for model comparisons, the proposed models provide the best results compared to the exponential smoothing models, SARIMA models and the Bayesian models with trend, auto regression and outliers.
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.
