Pаrt I: ARIMA аnd GARCH Mоdelling оn Pre-pаndemic Data (30 Pоints) This analysis will be performed on the pre-pandemic growth data, specifically 1990 to 2019 (included). For this analysis, we will divide the data into training and testing data, while we will focus on a 6-month (2 -quarter) rolling predictions for the years 2018 and 2019. That is, after performing the predictions in this analysis you should obtain forecast for the last (pre-pandemic) years.  For the questions in this part, you will need to divide the data between training and testing data, depending the forecast that need to be derived. You may consider using a for-loop in order to update the training data with six months at a time. In total,  you will have four different training & testing data divisions. 1a.  (10 points) Using the M1 growth data, apply the iterative BIC selection process to find the best, non-trivial ARIMA model order using the max orders (pmax = 3, qmax = 3) and d orders 1 or 2. Make sure to apply the model fit to the training data. Fit each model, then evaluate the Box-Ljung test results when performed on the model residuals and squared residuals. Apply this procedure for the training data in each of the four different training & testing data divisions. Compare the order selections as the training data change and comment on the differences if any. In total, there will be 4 break points for the training datasets (Jan 1990 to Dec 2017, June 2018, Dec 2018 and Jun 2019). Note: Use the 'ML' method in the arima() command to ensure convergence. You can define your own ARMA and Box Test functions first and then apply it on the 4 different training datasets and compare the results. 1b. (10 points) Using the M1 growth data, consider the second order differenced data, and apply the iterative approach to select the best ARMA-GARCH order (initial ARMA order p = 2, q = 3) using minimum BIC and a max order of (3,3)-(2,2). Fit each model, then evaluate the Box-Ljung test results when performed on the model residuals and squared residuals. Apply this to each of the training datasets from the four training & testing data divisions (Feb 1990 to Dec 2017, June 2018, Dec 2018 and Jun 2019).  Comment on if the addition of the GARCH component seems to have improved the fit. Did the fit improved in terms of correlation in the residuals and squared residuals?  1c.  (10 points) Apply the selected ARIMA models in (1a) and obtain the rolling forecasts for years 2018 and 2019 (6 months predictions for each training datasets). Visualize the combined predictions (24 months data) versus the observed data and derive the MAPE and PM accuracy measures. What can you say about the accuracy of the predictions over the two year period?
