dynupdate: Dynamic updates via BM, OLS, RR and PLS methods

Description

Four methods, namely block moving (BM), ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, ridge regression (RR), penalized least squares (PLS) regression, were proposed to address the problem of dynamic updating, when partial data in the most recent curve are observed.

Usage

dynupdate(data, newdata = NULL, holdoutdata, method = c("ts", "block", 
 "ols", "pls", "ridge"), fmethod = c("arima", "ar", "ets", "ets.na", 
  "rwdrift", "rw"), pcdmethod = c("classical", "M", "rapca"), 
   ngrid = max(1000, ncol(data$y)), order = 6, lambda = 0.01, 
    value = FALSE, interval = FALSE, level = 80, 
     pimethod = c("parametric", "nonparametric"), B = 1000)

Value

forecastsAn object of class fts containing the dynamic updated point forecasts.bootsampAn object of class fts containing the bootstrapped point forecasts, which are updated by the PLS method.lowAn object of class fts containing the lower bound of prediction intervals.upAn object of class fts containing the upper bound of prediction intervals.

Details

This function is designed to dynamically update point and distributional forecasts, when partial data in the most recent curve are observed.

If method = "classical", then standard functional principal component decomposition is used, as described by Ramsay and Dalzell (1991).

If method = "rapca", then the robust principal component algorithm of Hubert, Rousseeuw and Verboven (2002) is used.

If method = "M", then the hybrid algorithm of Hyndman and Ullah (2005) is used.

# ElNino is an object of sliced functional time series, constructed from a univariate time series. 
# When we observe some newly arrived information in the most recent time period, this function  
# allows us to update the point and interval forecasts for the remaining time period.
