USING ARIMA MODELS FOR FORECASTING OF OVERALL CRIME RATE IN UKRAINE
Crime rate forecasting is a critical element in the development of strategies for sustainable socio-economic growth in a rule-of-law state. Accurate forecasting becomes particularly important in times of economic instability and geopolitical crises, as is the case in Ukraine.
