Example 28.1 Series J from Box and Jenkins

This example analyzes the gas furnace data (series J) from Box and Jenkins. (The data are not shown; see Box and Jenkins (1976) for the data.)

First, a model is selected and fit automatically using the following statements.

title1 'Gas Furnace Data';
title2 'Box & Jenkins Series J';
title3 'Automatically Selected Model';

proc statespace data=seriesj cancorr;
   var x y;
run;

The results for the automatically selected model are shown in Output 28.1.1.

The two series are believed to have a transfer function relation with the gas rate (variable X) as the input and the CO$_{2}$ concentration (variable Y) as the output. Since the parameter estimates shown in Output 28.1.1 support this kind of model, the model is reestimated with the feedback parameters restricted to 0. The following statements fit the transfer function (no feedback) model.

title3 'Transfer Function Model';
proc statespace data=seriesj printout=none;
   var x y;
   restrict f(3,2)=0 f(3,4)=0
            g(3,2)=0 g(4,1)=0 g(5,1)=0;
run;
