Time Series Analysis and Its Applications to Data on Traf c Accidents

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the road traf c accidents in Turkey through time series and to predict the number of the prospective road traf c accidents by determining the most appropriate time series model. A time series was created with the data from the records of Turkish Statistical Institute related to the numbers of the road traf c accidents happened in Turkey between 1955 and 2012. It was seen in the study that the difference of the series itself and its rst difference from the autocorrelation function graph were not stable and the series be- came stable after the second difference was taken. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test was carried out for the stability test. In order to de ne the model appropriateness, whether the autocorrelation graph had white noise or not and the results of Box-Ljung test were taken into consideration. Model predictions were made from previously tested mod- els whose parameter predictions were signi cant and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwartz Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) values were the lowest. The most appropriate prediction model de ned for the road traf c accidents is the one called ARIMA (0, 2, 3) which is an integrated moving average model with a third de- gree mobility. In accordance with this model, it is predicted that the road traf c accidents in Turkey will increase consistently from 2013 to 2020 and the number in 2013 will be 1421791 and 2049307 in 2020.
