Abstract
This work presents the study of a type of time series model, called
of periodic autoregressive model, which emerged from the researches of Thomas and Fiering
(1962), according to Hipel and McLeod (1994). Its use is mainly in series
temporals that present a periodic behavior in the mean, variance and function of
autocorrelation. Application examples will also be displayed, in which the time series
presents the ideal characteristics of using the PAR model, and how to do the procedure
of choice, study, suitability and prediction of this type of model, in addition to being carried out
a comparison with the seasonal time series model.
