Kernel smoothed prediction intervals for ARMA models
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract The procedures of estimating prediction intervals for ARMA processes can be divided into model based methods and empirical methods. Model based methods require knowledge of the model and the underlying innovation distribution. Empirical methods are based on the sample forecast errors. In this paper we apply nonparametric quantile regression to the empirical forecast errors using lead time as regressor. With this method there is no need for a distribution assumption. But for the data pattern in this case a double kernel method which allows smoothing in two directions is required. An estimation algorithm is presented and applied to some simulation examples.

A Note on Non-negative Arma Processes
Recently, there are much works on developing models suitable for analyzing the volatility of a discrete-time process. Within the framework of Auto-Regressive Moving-Average (ARMA) processes, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the kernel to be non-negative. This condition is in terms of the generating function of the ARMA kernel which has a simple form. We discuss some useful con...
متن کاملA NOTE ON NON-NEGATIVE ARMA PROCESSES By Henghsiu Tsai and K. S. Chan
Recently, there has been much research on developing models suitable for analysing the volatility of a discrete-time process. Since the volatility process, like many others, is necessarily non-negative, there is a need to construct models for stationary processes which are non-negative with probability one. Such models can be obtained by driving autoregressive moving average (ARMA) processes wi...
متن کاملEfficient Prediction for Linear and Nonlinear Autoregressive Models
Conditional expectations given past observations in stationary time series are usually estimated directly by kernel estimators, or by plugging in kernel estimators for transition densities. We show that, for linear and nonlinear autoregressive models driven by independent innovations, appropriate smoothed and weighted von Mises statistics of residuals estimate conditional expectations at better...
متن کاملReliability and Sharpness in Border Crossing Traffic Interval Prediction
Short-term traffic volume prediction models have been extensively studied in the past few decades. However, most of the previous studies only focus on single-value prediction. Considering the uncertain and chaotic nature of the transportation system, an accurate and reliable prediction interval with upper and lower bounds may be better than a single point value for transportation management. In...
