NUEVA, ANDRES GOMEZ. "Time Series Analysis of Coconut Production in the Philippines". Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2002. Adviser: Ms. Anna Marie A. Ardina.
This study entitled "Time Series Analysis of Coconut Production in the Philippines" was conducted in order to: (1) determine a model that can be used in forecasting the production in the Philippines, (2) provide a yearly forecast of the coconut production for the years 2002 to 2005, and (3) test the accuracy of the formulated model. The data used in this study were taken from Provincial Agricultural Statistics Office in Trece Martires City and Bureau of Agricultural Statistic of the Department of Agriculture in Quezon City.
The data included the annual production from 1978 to 2000. There were three models formulated in this study. In judging and selecting the best model for predicting the coconut production, the following criteria were carefully evaluated from each of the three models: R- squared, adjusted R- squared, standard error of regression, sum of squared residual, Durbin-Watson statistic, Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (SBC). Model 3 written as ARMA (0,1), was chosen as the best model. The forecasted employment rate for the years 2001 to 2005 showed a continuously decreasing trend.
The production rate was expected to decrease each year. In the year 2005, the production rate was forecasted to be approximately 12,454,000 metric tons. The forecast accuracy was also tested using the MAPE method and the forecast values were reliable.
