An optimal k of kth MA-ARIMA models under AR(p) models.

In this article, we discuss finding the optimal k of (i) kth simple moving average, (ii) kth weighted moving average, and (iii) kth exponentialweightedmoving average based on simulated autoregressive AR(p) model. We run a simulation using the three above examining method under specific conditions. The main finding is that the optimal k = 4 and then k = 3. Especially, the fourth WMA ARIMA model, fourth EWMA ARIMA model, and third EWMA ARIMA model are the best forecasting models among others, respectively. For all the six real data reveal the similar results of simulation study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
