“TREND ANALYSIS OF WHEAT AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY IN GUJARAT BY USING STATISTICAL MODELING TECHNIQUES”

Abstract
Key Words: Shapiro and Wilk test, Run test, polynomial model, ARIMA, Autocorrelation Function and Partial Autocorrelation Function.The present investigation was carried out on the polynomial (linear, quadratic and cubic) models were fitted on original data as well as three, four and five year moving averages data. The Autoregressive Moving Average (ARIMA) models were fitted to original time series data after checking the stationary condition, to arrive at a methodology that can precisely explain the fluctuation in area, production and productivity for wheat crop in different districts is Junagadh, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Sabarkantha, Banaskantha and Kheda districts selected from Gujarat state. Gujarat state to compare different models for the period 1960-61 to 2011-12 (52 years). The error percentage for the selected model was also carried out to test the prediction power. The data from year 1960-61 to 2006-07 were used for model fitting and remaining years for testing the forecast. In polynomial models, the most suitable model was selected on the basis of adjusted R2, significant regression coefficient, root mean square error, mean absolute error, normality (Shapiro and Wilk test) and randomness of residual’s (Run test) distribution. The different ARIMA models (p, d, q) were judged on the basis of autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) at various lags. Among different fitted ARIMA models, the final models were selected on the basis of significant autoregressive and moving average term, Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC), Schwartz-Bayesian Criterion (SBC) and normality (Shapiro-Wilk test) and randomness of residual’s (Run test) distribution. Suitable model for wheat area was in Junagadh district was ARIMA (0, 1, 1) model reveal that the MAPE was found to be considered low (14.19) in the year 2010 the model forecast value was very much close to the actual value, the error was found to be only 38.02. In compare to area, production and productivity of Junagadh district, the adjusted R2 were 77%, 78% and 64% respectively. ARIMA (0, 1, 1) model is found to be better model to forecast. In the Rajkot district area and production adjusted R2 is 42% and 56% respectively, MAE and MAPE is high (417.74 and 45.9), ABSTRACT (1539.97 and 42.26) but in productivity adjusted R2 78% the ARIMA (0, 1, 1) was found adequate because the MAE and MAPE is low (241.49 and 6.62). The evaluation of fitted ARIMA model for area, production and productivity in Ahmedabad district it is ascertained that in all the series none of the model was found to be adequate the MAPE was not low. They were in the range between ‘25 to 40’. ARIMA (0, 1, 1) area and production the model is underestimated and productivity the model over estimated. The adjusted R2 was 10%, 79% and 76% respectively for Ahmedabad district. Fitted model in the Sabarkantha district area, production and productivity adjusted R2 77%, 20% and 73% respectively, while it reveals that in productivity MAPE was found to be low (10.26) and standard error was also low so this model were forecast future values accurately. Thus ARIMA (1, 1, 1) and ARIMA (0, 1, 3) were ascertained as the better model for area and productivity of Sabarkantha district. In the Banaskantha district for area, production and productivity adjusted R2 was 57%, 71% and 75% respectively the evaluation of fitted ARIMA (2, 1, 0) model for area that found MAE and MAPE was considerably low (135.03 and 18.95). So this model can be employed for the forecast. In production the ARIMA (0, 1, 1) was found very high that MAE and MAPE (595.43 and 30.32). So this model cannot be employed for forecast purpose and productivity is MAE and MAPE (248.66 and 10.32) this one of the model selection criteria. Thus this model can be employed for forecast. In the Kheda district area, production and productivity adjusted R2 was 41%, 76%, and 75 respectively, while their area and production is very high in MAPE (30.91 and 24.42) was found this model is cannot be used to forecast the future values and productivity of Kheda district ARIMA (0, 1, 1) model was found to be appropriate for forecasting purpose due to its low MAPE (14.81). The adjusted R2 value for Gujarat state area, production and productivity adjusted R2 was is 69%, 77%, and 86% respectively, while there is similarly model of the ARIMA (0, 1, 1) model was found in the area and productivity was found to be better model for forecasting as the MAPE given in the (19.39 and 9.58) as compare to production there is high MAPE (26.93) and this could be not be a better model due to its high standard error and MAPE. Thus, in general, because of crucial requirement of model selection criteria in polynomial as well as ARIMA models, few models could get selected. There is need to examine different techniques for fitted the area, production and productivity of wheat.
