Pаrt I: ARIMA-GARCH Mоdelling 1а. Evаluate the statiоnarity prоperties of the Stock2 and Stock 3 time series. Support your analysis with plots and other statistical tests as needed. Additionally, analyze the correlation between the two stocks, and discuss the implications this correlation might have on forecasting these two time series. 1b. Using the **Stock 2 only**, divide the data into training and testing sets, using the period from January 2009 to June 2024 for training and the last six observations (July 2024 to December 2024) for testing. Apply the iterative BIC selection process to find the best non-trivial ARIMA-GARCH model order, with ARIMA maximum orders (pmax = 5, qmax = 5) and d orders of max 1 (i.e., do not choose orders ARMA (0,0) if that is the case), and only small orders for the GARCH model. Explain how the selected model captures features of the time series. Additionally, evaluate the model fit, supporting your comments with plots and tests. Finally, assess the stationarity of the model you find. 1c. Apply the selected model from (1b) to obtain rolling forecasts for the testing period. Visualize the predictions versus the observed data and calculate the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Prediction Mean (PM) for each time series. Discuss the accuracy of the predictions. Note: If your model uses differenced data, you will need to convert the forecasts back to the original time series data. 1d. Using the final order for your model from question 1b for the Stock 2 data, estimate a TGARCH model. Write the model equation and evaluate whether it is necessary to control for asymmetry in the model. Support your conclusion by comparing the News Impact curve of the TGARCH model with that of the GARCH model from question 1b. Part II: Multivariate Modeling 2a. Fit an unrestricted VAR(p) model using the Stock 2 and Stock 3 time series. Select the order using the AIC information criterion with a maximum order of p=9. Evaluate the stability of the model by analyzing the roots of the characteristic polynomial. Additionally, assess the model fit and support your comments with relevant plots and tests. Hint: You can analyze the roots of the characteristic polynomial to check for stability. 2b. For each time series in the VAR model from question 2a, apply the Wald test to identify any lead and lag relationships between the two time series, using a significance level of $alpha =0.05$. Comment on any potential relationships. Based on these results, does the VAR model appear to provide better predictions than the ARIMA-GARCH model applied to individual time series? Additionally, are there any contemporaneous relationships between the two time series? 2c. Fit a VARX(p) model for p up to an order equal to 9 using the training data of the price of Stock 2 and Stock 3 as endogenous variables and Stock 1 as exogenous variable. Use the AIC as the order selection criterion. Display the model summary of the selected VAR model. What is the selected order? Part III: Forecast 3a. Using the VAR models fitted in questions 2a and 2c, obtain 6-month ahead predictions for the Stock 2 price. Visualize the predictions versus the observed data and calculate the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Prediction Mean (PM) accuracy measures. Comment on the accuracy of the predictions. Which model—ARIMA-GARCH, VAR, or VARX—provides better predictions?
