# Problem with ARIMA in Minitab

I have made non-stationary data stationary by differencing at lag 1 and then differencing the differences at lag 11. The data values for months 1/06 through 6/11 are in an Excel file at https://rapidshare.com/files/3190310580/data.xls, reproduced here:

5821    7652    8761    6578    4320    10982   4522    6573    16300   10982   4320    15100   9021    7821    16432   9649    7092    19821   3987    10753   25470   8721    15211   23112   8731    19532   27611   9843    17805   25761   14251   12769   30921   8911    16734   35421   20091   17234   32612   15432   19835   38631   16752   25433   33292   14526   11399   35467   8069    11985   18918   9316    10813   17854   3350    17436   19876   3276    9850    16771   4755    5358    18101   8659    11963   17466


I worked in Minitab with this data set and get the output for ARIMA(2,0,2) model.

Model 2 (AR2, MA2, DF=0)
Final Estimates of Parameters

Type       Coef  SE Coef       T      P
AR   1  -0.9821   0.0366  -26.80  0.000
AR   2  -0.9841   0.0357  -27.56  0.000
MA   1  -0.2964   0.1371   -2.16  0.036
MA   2  -0.3705   0.1412   -2.62  0.011

Number of observations:  54
Residuals:    SS =  2019255200 (backforecasts excluded)
MS =  40385104  DF = 50

Modified Box-Pierce (Ljung-Box) Chi-Square statistic

Lag            12     24     36     48
Chi-Square   23.7   42.2   54.0   65.0
DF              8     20     32     44
P-Value     0.003  0.003  0.009  0.021


My problem is I don't know how to get the forecast value in Minitab with regard to the actual data set. How to get the graph? Is there any way to get the above result in one command in Minitab (making data stationary in Minitab)?

If your data are not too big, you can insert them (or a subset) as plain text here; otherwise, please avoid providing link to XLS file (txt or csv is to be preferred). –  chl Sep 1 '11 at 6:53
Is this for some subject? –  Glen_b Nov 21 '13 at 21:57
