Auto ARIMA model summary interpretation in r

Question

I am new to time series and am trying to forecast a data series in r; which has weekly data. I have a few questions related to the same:

1. While trying to use auto.arima() model, it shows the optimum order is c(0,1,1) with drift, however, it does not mention anything about the seasonality where in my data there is seasonality in one week per year. Data series looks like this

Should I use any other model to catch the seasonality factor and include it in model?

2. Also, while forecasting the same, i get this result

but while, trying to check accuracy i get error as "Error in window.default(x, ...) : 'start' cannot be after 'end'"

3. I also tried Holt-Winters which gave the following result on my dataset:

used this function: aust=window(train_1,start=2016) fit1=hw(aust,seasonal = "additive") autoplot(fit1)

Please help me understand how should i incorporate seasonal component in the model? is my Auto.arima model better than Holt-Winters? which one should i go with for forecasting ? and how to check the forecasting accuracy ? Many Thanks !

Answer 1

First of all try seasonal arima model like: arima(data,c(1,0,0), c(1,0,0) this is an example of 1 At model with 1AR seasonality...... To get better understanding of seasonality you have to see acf pacf graphs along with some decomposition techniques to look for seasonality.
