Exploratory Data Analysis of Yen Exchange Rates: ARMA and GARCH Modeling Insights
This report presents an extensive exploratory data analysis of the Yen to Dollar exchange rate, utilizing monthly data from 1971 to the present. Through 387 observations, various modeling techniques, including ARMA and ARCH-GARCH, were employed to assess and forecast fluctuations in exchange rates. Our findings indicate a relatively flat forecast for fractional changes in the ¥/$ over the coming twelve months. The model's second iteration, accounting for high-variance periods, shows stronger reliability. For further inquiries or clarifications, please reach out.

Data • From 1971 to Present (Monthly) • 387 Observations • Federal Reserve Bank St Louis (Fred)
Breaking Yen into Change $ • Ln, Difference • Fractional Change • Pre-Whitening
Residual^2 • Checking Periods of High Variance
Forecast Yen Exchange ARMA- Forecast ARMA with ARCH-GARCH Forecast
Conclusion • Our model forecasts a relatively flat fractional change in the ¥/$ over the next twelve months. • We have more confidence in our second model because the ARCH-GARCH terms account for periods of high variance.
