Augmented Functional Time Series Representation and Forecasting with Gaussian Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a functional representation of time series which allows forecasts to be performed over an unspecified horizon with progressively-revealed information sets. By virtue of using Gaussian processes, a complete covariance matrix between forecasts at several time-steps is available. This information is put to use in an application to actively trade price spreads between commodity futures contracts. The approach delivers impressive out-of-sample risk-adjusted returns after transaction costs on a portfolio of 30 spreads.

Some New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...
متن کاملMultiple-step Time Series Forecasting with Sparse Gaussian Processes
Forecasting of non-linear time series is a relevant problem in control. Furthermore, an estimate of the uncertainty of the prediction is useful for constructing robust controllers. Multiple-step ahead forecasting has recently been addressed using Gaussian processes, but direct implementations are restricted to small data sets. In this paper we consider multiple-step forecasting for sparse Gauss...
متن کاملApplying Genetic Algorithms to Improve Forecasting by Gaussian Processes
Gaussian processes are supervised learning tools. Just like Supervised Artificial Neural Network, Gaussian Processes distill data structure from real data. However, since there are some disadvantages of Gaussian Processes, this research introduces Genetic Algorithms to obtain the optimal parameter values for Gaussian processes in order to improve the learning capabilities on forecasting real ti...
متن کاملGroundwater Level Forecasting Using Wavelet and Kriging
In this research, a hybrid wavelet-artificial neural network (WANN) and a geostatistical method were proposed for spatiotemporal prediction of the groundwater level (GWL) for one month ahead. For this purpose, monthly observed time series of GWL were collected from September 2005 to April 2014 in 10 piezometers around Mashhad City in the Northeast of Iran. In temporal forecasting, an artificial...
متن کاملA NEW APPROACH BASED ON OPTIMIZATION OF RATIO FOR SEASONAL FUZZY TIME SERIES
In recent years, many studies have been done on forecasting fuzzy time series. First-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with first-order lagged variables and high-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with consecutive lagged variables constitute the considerable part of these studies. However, these methods are not effective in forecasting fuzzy time series which contain seasonal...
