Abstract
When an ARIMA model includes other time series as input variables, the model is referred to as an ARIMAX model. The autoregressive integrated moving average with exogenous variable (ARIMAX) model can take theimpact of covariates on the forecasting into account, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the prediction. In this paper, ARIMAX model has been applied to forecast castor production in India which includestime series data on rainfall as input exogenous variable. ARIMAX (111) is found to be the best model for future projections of castor production in India. The analysis of 53 years data from 1966-67 to 2018-19 predicted that castor production may increase to 1547.05 thousand tonnes by the year 2020-21 and 1674.90 thousand tonnes by the year 2021-22.
