Abstract: The paper compares SARIMA and adjusted SARIMA(ASARIMA) in a regular stationary series where the underlying variable is seasonally nonstationary. Adopting empirical rainfall data and Box-Jenkins iterative algorithm that calculates least squares estimates, Out of 11 sub-classes of SARIMA and 7 sub-classes of ASARIMA models, AIC chose ASARIMA(2,1,1)12 over all sub-classes of SARIMA(p,0,q)x(P,1,Q)12 identified. Diagnostic test indicates absence of autocorrelation up to the 48th lag. The forecast values generated by the fitted model are closely related to the actual values. Hence, ASARIMA can be recommended for regular stationary time series with seasonal characteristics and where parameter redundancy and large sum of square errors are penalized.
