Abstract: | This paper derives easy-to-calculate preditors for seasonal and nonseasonal fractionally integrated autoregressive-moving average (ARIMA (p, d, q) × (P, D, Q)s) models with both differencing parameters d and D assuming values on the real line. It is shown that these predictors are optimum. Special attention is given to the one-step-ahead predictors as they are constantly in demand in almost every practical situation. |
