Wilberforce, Kiribaki; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl; Department of Statistics (2012)
This study aimed to construct a forecasting model for gas prices in Turkey using Univariate time series analysis. The best model was developed after assessing the forecasting performances for both Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model and Exponential Smoothing (ES) model. Firstly, we fitted different combinations of both ARIMA and SARIMA models (from which the best model was chosen) by using the monthly oil prices from January 2003 to December 2011. The ES model was automatically ...
