2 Vol. No.2, pp.-, June 203 Absrac: Any change in sale price may affec cusomers, disribuers and sellers. Anicipaing fuure prices is one of he bes ways o face appropriaely such hese price changes in he marke. Time series have wide range of applicaion in various fields such as economy, managemen and markeing. Time series is a very imporan ool o analyze a collecion of observaions which are recorded as daily, weekly, monhly and annually repors. In his paper, he world price of each ounce of gold during 338 coninuous monhs are considered (Average per monh) and he arge is o assess he behavior of daa and o release a suiable model for his daa o anicipae world price of each ounce of gold during upcoming monhs by means of analysis of ime series. The firs sep o analyze ime series is o draw daa. Nex sep is o recognize effecive parameers on he series (rend, cycle and seasonal) and o remove hem from ime series and a las o process a saic model on ime series. We drew auocorrelaion funcion (ACF) and parial auocorrelaion funcion (PACF) for daa. Auo-regression model (AR), moving average model (MA) and a combinaion of AR and MA models (ARIMA, ARMA) were seleced as he grade of recogniion model and appropriae model. Afer all sages o analyze ime series and creaion of remained parameers and afer consideraion of finess of represened model, anicipaion of world price of gold for each ounce will ake place. In his regard, he resul of considering he daa in his paper produces informaion for fuure o make appropriae and profiable decision based on curren daa. The process is done by means of MINITAB sofware. Keywords : Time Serise,Forecas, ARIMA,ACF, PACF INTRODUCTION Nowadays, deerminaion and rend of he how of price flucuaions is one of he mos crucial issues being ineresed by financial economiss and analyss and which has been lead o a variey of differen views in his maer.() The reacion owards he changes of producs price is o be one of presence and peneraion in he marke. Any change in sale price may affec cusomers, disribuers and sellers and ha migh pave he way for he governmen s reacions as well. (2). One of he ways for facing appropriaely such flucuaions in prices is o anicipae he producs prices in he fuure. Hisorically, gold has been considered a fronier-less currency, ha may be raded a any ime, virually under all circumsances. Gold proved o be he mos effecive way o collec cash during he sock exchange crash in 987, and once again in 997 and 998 during he Asian crisis. In boh Gulf wars, he demand for gold increased significanly and hence he need o mainain a small proporion of a porfolio in gold could be invaluable in momens when cash is essenial. Is imporance lies in reflecing he expecaions of he invesors, marking he rends and expecaions of growh and decline of he world economies (3). Many derivaives of gold rading in inernaional gold markes are also raded, such as gold fuures, gold opions, gold forward conracs, and so on (4)(). Remarkably, since he price of gold varies wihin a limied range, gold is able o reduce he effec of inflaion, conrol he rise of price and help carry ou consricive moneary policy (Asalakisa & Valavanisb, 2009).(6) 2

3 Vol. No.2, pp.-, June 203 Time series 3 have varian immeasurable applicaions in such fields as saisics and engineering; managemen; weaher; markeing as well as economics and ec. i can be found ha in he real world here are many insances in differen fields in which a collecion of daily, weekly, monhly, and annually observaions are recorded. Time series are regarded as imporan ools in analyzing such observaions. A ime series is a collecion of observaions which has been organized in a chronological order. To pu ha in oher word is ha he ime series are defined as he daa collecion based on an observaion of a phenomenon in a period of ime. Briefly, he purpose of ime series analysis is as,. Exploring and idenifying he probable model of daa, and 2, anicipaing he values of ime series. In a ime series, firs, we recognize he pas behavior of he probable model of series which include he daa, hen we suppose ha he daa will be having he same behavior and be subordinaed by he daa fiing model, herefore; we ry o anicipae he fuure values of ime series. Meanwhile, he modeling of a descripion of a behavior of ime series, mahemaically, includes he following hree general sages as,. idenifying he primary model, 2. esimaing he idenified model s parameers, and 3. invesigaing he model 4.(7) In he sudy, he modeling of ime series is done by Box- Jenkins approach. To analyze he ime series, he wo following approaches are sough as,. he analysis in ime range and, 2. he analysis in frequency range. In he presen sudy, we are o make use of he former approach which is described very briefly below: ime series analysis on he basis of auocorrelaion coefficien is referred o as he analysis in ime range. To do so, we are o use auocorrelaion funcion, auocorrelaion, and parial auocorrelaion for sudying he gradual fulfillmen of a ime series regarding he parameer s paerns. In he curren sudy, we ry o make he whole presen correlaions in observaions ou of a model, since he oher remaining will be uncorrelaed. Saemen of problem and he relevan daa The values of daa concerning he world price of each ounce of gold in Dollar during he coninuous 338 monhs i.e., from he early 98 o he end of February 203, has been aended (Average per monh) o.(8)the purpose is o examine he behavior of daa and o release an appropriae model for he sudy s daa and o presen world price of each ounce of gold during upcoming monhs by means of analysis of ime series..

4 Vol. No.2, pp.-, June 203 Time series analysis: To draw he daa is he firs sage in ime series analysis and ha is done by using he saisical program i.e., Miniab as he figures shows. (9) Describing behavior of ime series: To deermine parameers of he variable in ime series, and o remove hem for having saic daa, and finally afer having saic daa, some appropriae models on daa go o he daa finess (0). To he figure, i is showed ha he daa have he process and ha means he daa is no saic, herefore; i is needed o make hem saic, firs. Figure : ime series analysis graph A ime series migh be saic in eiher average or correlaion. The proper soluion o make a ime series saic is o differeniae ha ime series. For ha ime series which have a sor of non-saic variance, say, variance is no saic; he suiable resoluion migh be Box-Cox Transformaion. I should be aken ino accoun ha non-saic variance should firs be examined. Where Rounded Value = - 0.0, by using Box-Cox Transformaion 3 for creaing saic daa, he following ransformaion is done on he primary daa: w = /SQRT (X). x Time Series Plo of x Index B o x -C o x P lo o f x 4 0 L o w er C L U p p er C L L am b d a ( u sin g 9.0% c o n fid en c e) 3 E sim ae L o w er C L U p p er C L R o u n d ed V alu e SDev Lim i La mb d a 0 2 To examine saic in variance, we firs are o draw Time Series Plo for W and ACF 4. 4

Deermining ype and order of he model and examining he saisical models: Typically, for deermining and recognizing ype and order of he models ACF and PACF 2, here ARIMA, ARMA, AR, MA should be chosen, firs. The huge usage of hese ypes of models could be referred o as heir capaciy in making correlaion 3 among he presen ime values and he pas ime as well as heir simpliciy in srucures.() 6

C) drawing he Residuals graph versus ime: by drawing he Residuals versus he Order of daa 3 and observing ha he Residuals have no specific srucure, so we accep he model s being proper.
