The time series analysis reveals non stationarity in data and, therefore, the models fail to give reliable predictions. However, differencing the initial time series the resulting series shows strong resemblance to white noise. The analysis of this series advocates independence in data and distribution satisfactorily close to Laplace distribution. The application of Laplace distribution offers reliable probabilities in forecasting changes in the exchange rate.</span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>

The aim of this study consists in analyzing the importance of the exchange rate forecast using the Box-Jenkins models, also known as Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. The first part of the paper presents the main research in this field, which can be classified in two categories (studies applying classical methods, such as Box-Jenkins models and studies which rely on sophisticated prediction tools), and summarizes the main findings of some of the studies applying Box-Jenkins models. In the second part of the paper we performed a EUR/RON exchange rate analysis and forecasting, based on testing several AR, MA and ARMA candidate processes, in order to find out the best fitting model specification.  We adopted the following strategy: i) an initial time series had been used for testing various model specifications, identify the best performing one and making a forecast of the EUR/RON exchange rate; ii) after comparing the accuracy of this forecast with the real level recorded by the exchange rate at end of May 2018, we conducted a second forecast, for the period May 2019 – November 2019. The initial time series employed has daily frequency and covers the timeframe July 4, 2005 – December 5, 2017, while the second time series used covers the period July 4, 2005 – May 6, 2019. The empirical findings have passed the goodness-of-fit tests and show a good predictive power. The first forecast performed for a six month period (December 2017 – May 2018) has indicated a slow pace, persistent increase of the EUR/RON exchange rate, which was confirmed by the expectations of market participants (financial analysts, banks’ research departments). The second forecast, which covers the period May 2019 – November 2019, indicates a similar rising trend and the ongoing depreciation of the national currency.

This article examines the behavior of the consumer price index in Ukraine for the period from January 2010 to September 2020. The characteristics of the initial time series, the analysis of autocorrelation functions made it possible to reveal the tendency of their development and the presence of annual seasonality. To model the behavior of the consumer price index and forecast for the next months, two types of models were used: the additive ARIMA*ARIMAS model, better known as the model of Box-Jenkins and the exponential smoothing model with the seasonality estimate of Holt-Winters. As a result of using the STATISTICA package, the most adequate models were built, reflecting the monthly dynamics of the consumer price index in Ukraine. The inflation forecast was carried out on the basis of the Holt-Winters model, which has a minimum error.

Exchange rate is one tool to measure a country’s economic conditions. The growth of a stable currency value indicates that the country has a relatively good economic conditions or stable. This study has the purpose to analyze the factors that affect the exchange rate of the Indonesian Rupiah against the United States Dollar in the period of 2000-2013. The data used in this study is a secondary data which are time series data, made up of exports, imports, inflation, the BI rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the money supply (M1) in the quarter base, from first quarter on 2000 to fourth quarter on 2013. Regression model time series data used the ARCH-GARCH with ARCH model selection indicates that the variables that significantly influence the exchange rate are exports, inflation, the central bank rate and the money supply (M1). Whereas import and GDP did not give any influence.

Forecasting the foreign currency exchange is a challenging task since it is influenced by political, economic and psychological factors. This paper focuses on the forecasting Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) exchange rate against the United States Dollar (USD) using Exponential Smoothing Techniques which are Single Exponential Smoothing, Double Exponential Smoothing, and Holt’s method. The objectives of this paper are to identify the best Exponential Smoothing Technique that describes MYR for 5 years period and to forecast MYR 12 months ahead by using the best Exponential Smoothing Technique. The comparison between these techniques is also made and the best one will be selected to forecast the MYR exchange rate against USD. The result showed that Holt’s method has the smallest value of error measure which depending on the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) for the evaluation part. The MSE is 1.43915x10-14 and MAPE is 2.5413 x 10-6. Meanwhile, the forecast value of MYR in August 2019 is RM 4.30226.

Considering the difficulty of diagnosis signal de-noising and feature extraction problems, according to the characteristics of periodicity and shock attenuation respond of mechanical fault vibration signals, a method of improved sequential decomposition algorithm is proposed, it transforms an initial time series into a group of two-dimensional time series, prominent time series partial information, time series decomposition is reversible, can be used for filtering and feature extraction of time signal. Through the simulation and experiments, the validity of method for highlighting partial feature information of the signal is verified, helping to extract weak fault information in strong background noise environment.

A battery of time series methods are compared for forecasting basis levels in the soybean futures complex: soybeans, soybean meal, and soybean oil. Specifically, nearby basis forecasts are generated with exponential smoothing techniques, autoregression moving average (ARMA), and vector autoregression (VAR) models. The forecasts are compared to those of the 5-year average, year ago, and no change methods. Using the 5-year average as the benchmark method, the forecast evaluation results suggest that alternative naive techniques may produce better forecasts, and the improvement gained by time series modeling is relatively small. In this sample, there is little evidence that the basis has become systematically more difficult to forecast in recent years.

The study on the effect of fuel subsidies toward oil import is a controversial topicdiscussions. This study will explore the effect of fuel subsidies on oil import by addingseveral independent variables, consist of; the number of vehichles, the exchange rateand inflation. Data use time series data from 1980-2013. The tool of analyze is OrdinaryLeast Squares Method (OLS).Based on the results show that the simultaneous testexplains that the fuel subsidies, the number of vehichles, the exchange rate, and inflationhave a significant effect on oil import. However partially, the variables of fuel subsidies,the number of vehichles, and the exchange rate have a positive and significant effecton oil import. Inflation does not affect on oil import. The coefficient of determinationuses Adjusted R-square test is about 98%. The implication of this study is governmentscan increase oil production Indonesia. The government should facilitate the licensing ofinvestment and rejuvenate the old oil wells. It aims to reduce Indonesia dependence onoil import so that it can save foreign exchange reserves.
