How do you choose between linear regression and ARIMA?

How do you choose between linear regression and ARIMA?

In multiple linear regression, you want to compute the correlation of each pair, where a pair consists of the response variable, and each dependent variable. In ARIMA models you use the autocorrelation graph to detect where there are high correlations. Forth, both use similar methods of estimating the coefficients.

Is ARIMA A linear regression model?

If some of the predictors are lags of the errors, an ARIMA model it is NOT a linear regression model, because there is no way to specify “last period’s error” as an independent variable: the errors must be computed on a period-to-period basis when the model is fitted to the data.

What’s the difference between an ARIMA and a regression?

If we exclude the ARIMAX models, which are ARIMA with regressors, ARIMA and regression models are models with different approaches. ARIMA tries to model the variable only with information about the past values of the same variable. Regression models on the other hand model the variable with the values of other variables.

How is Arima used to model a variable?

ARIMA tries to model the variable only with information about the past values of the same variable. Regression models on the other hand model the variable with the values of other variables.

When do you lose datapoints in ARIMA model?

For example if the ARIMA model has a lag structure of say sp+p ( a seasonal difference of order sp and an autoregressive structure of order p , you lose the first sp+p datapoints and only NOB-SP-P values are actually fit.

How are regression models different from other approaches?

Regression models on the other hand model the variable with the values of other variables. Since these approaches are different, it is natural then that models are not directly comparable. On the other hand since both models try to model one variable, they both produce the modelled values of this variable.
