Q

What is the general approach to Time Series Modelling

A
  1. Plot the series and examine the main features of the graph, checking in particular whether there is: a) trend b)seasonal component c)any apparent sharp changes in behaviour d)any outlying observations2. Remove the trend and seasonal components to get stationary residuals 3. Choose model to fit the residuals 4. Forecasting will be achieved by forecasting the residuals and the inverting any transformations to arrive at forecasts of the original series

A

It plots an empirical quantiles against theoretical ones. In particular the values in the sample of data, in order from smallest to largest, are plotted against F-^-1 ((i-0.5)/T), i=1,2,…,T and А is the cumulative distribution function of the assumed distribution.
