The forecasting accuracy highly depends on the performance of model selection in time series modeling. Therefore, how to effectively and accurately identify model is one of the most important research topics in time series analysis. During theast few decades, several reseachers, such as Akaike(1969,1970, 1973,1974)、Schwarz(1978)、Bhansali & Downham(1977)、Haman & Quinn(1979)、Shibata(1980), proposed lots of model selection criteria. However, a systemmatical studies and comparsions on those criteria has not been made. The aptness and characteristics of those criteria are investigated by the study of synthetic data based on the accuracy of selection of ture model in the present study. Both of the method of moments and maximum likelihood method are used to estimate the parameters. In the present study, 11 criteria, CAT , FPE, FPE1, AIC, SBC, BIC1, BIC2, BIC3, BEC, HQ and S are used to study. Meanwhile, 32 sets of data which model are well-known are also used to investigate the aptness of those criteria. The results indicate that BIC1 is the best for the accuracy, while CAT is the worst.
