Background Information
• They are about the estimates of monthly carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel burning in the United States from 1981 to 2003.
• This time series dataset contains 274 observations.
• Source: http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/emis_mon/emis_mon_usatotal.dat
Original Time Plot
• The mean is increasing, and the variance seems to be changing slightly over time, thus suggesting non-stationarity in the mean and variance.
• Therefore, we need to do log transformation and then take difference.
.
Model Specification
• Considering the nature of the data, which is monthly, and the fact that the sample ACFs are significant at lag 12 and 24, we take seasonal difference with s=12.
Model Specification
• Since it is the seasonal time series, we do not focus on PACFs as the patterns are difficult to explain except the pure seasonal AR or MA models.
• A seasonal ARIMA(0,1,0)×(0,1,1)12 model may be identified.
