ABSTRACT
The vector autoregressive (VAR) approach is useful in many
situations involving model development for multivariables time
series. VAR model was utilised in this study and applied in modelling
and forecasting four meteorological variables. The variables are
n rainfall data, humidity, wind speed and temperature. However,
the model failed to address the heteroscedasticity problem found
in the variables, as such, multivariate GARCH, namely, dynamic
conditional correlation (DCC) was incorporated in the VAR model
to confiscate the problem of heteroscedasticity. The results showed
that the use of the VAR coupled with the recognition of time-varying
variances DCC produced good forecasts over long forecasting horizons
as compared with VAR model alone.
Keywords: Dynamic conditional correlation; forecast;
meteorology; vector autoregressive
ABSTRAK
Pendekatan vektor autoregresif (VAR) adalah berguna dalam pelbagai keadaan yang melibatkan pembangunan model
berbilang siri masa pemboleh ubah. Model VAR digunakan dalam kajian
ini dan diaplikasi dalam pemodelan dan peramalan empat pemboleh ubah meteorologi. Pemboleh ubah ini adalah data hujan n, kelembapan, kelajuan angin dan suhu. Walau
bagaimanapun, model ini gagal untuk menangani masalah heteroskedastisiti yang ditemui dalam pemboleh ubah, justeru, multivariat GARCH
iaitu kolerasi dinamik bersyarat (DCC) telah dimasukkan pada model VAR untuk merampas masalah heteroskedastisiti. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan
VAR ditambah pula dengan pengiktirafan daripada variasi perbezaan masa DCC menghasilkan peramalan yang baik ke atas peramalan panjangberbanding model VAR semata-mata.
Kata kunci: Korelasi dinamik bersyarat; meteorologi; ramalan; vektor autoregresif
