Wind speed forecasting using ARIMA model

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi
I have the readings of wind speed and I want to forecast it for the next year. However, when I use autocorrelation and Partial autocorrelation I realise that the data must be differenced for once. I have also tried to use ARIMA(2,1,1) - based on autocorr and parcorr - but the forecasted results are different from the actual ones. Can anyone help me on how to accurately identify the order of AR() and MA() so the forecasting can be as much accurate as possible?
Thanks

Forecast will never be identical to the actual series. After all this is a model. To quote famous statistician George Box "essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful". Unfortunately there isn't a magic way to select lag orders, however there are several strategies you can use to improve results. For a start take a look at a surveys common strategies for lag order selection here:
