Deep Learning PyTorch Course, ARMA Model

In this course, we aim to delve deeply into the process of analyzing time series data using the ARMA (AutoRegressive Moving Average) model and interpreting it as a form of deep learning. The ARMA model is one of the common methods for modeling time series data in statistics. Through this, we will gain insights with example code that can be applied to deep learning models.

1. Introduction to the ARMA Model

The ARMA model, short for ‘AutoRegressive Moving Average’, is useful for capturing the characteristics of time series data. An ARMA(p, q) model consists of two components:

  • AutoRegressive (AR): Predicting current values based on a linear combination of past values
  • Moving Average (MA): Predicting current values based on a linear combination of past errors

This is used to understand and predict patterns in various time series data, and the mathematical definition of how the ARMA model is structured is as follows: 

Y_t = c + ∑ (phi_i * Y_{t-i}) + ∑ (theta_j * e_{t-j}) + e_t

Where:

  • Y_t: Current value of the time series data
  • c: Constant term
  • phi_i: AR parameters
  • theta_j: MA parameters
  • e_t: White noise (error)

2. Necessity of the ARMA Model

The ARMA model is essential for understanding and predicting trends, seasonality, and periodicity in time series data. By using the ARMA model, the following tasks can be performed:

  • Predicting future values based on past data
  • Identifying patterns and characteristics in time series data
  • Outlier detection

Most real-world problems are related to time series data, which helps in understanding trends in events occurring over time.

3. Implementing Deep Learning with the ARMA Model

In Python, there are several libraries available for implementing the ARMA model. In particular, the statsmodels library is useful for dealing with ARMA models. Next, we will explore how to complement the learning of the ARMA model using the deep learning model LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory).

3.1 Installing Statsmodels and Preparing Data

First, data acquisition and preprocessing are necessary. After installing statsmodels, prepare the time series dataset.
