mrf_one_step_forecast: mrf_one_step_forecast Step Forecast

Description

This function creates a one step forecast using the multiresolution forecasting framework based on the manuscript [Stier et al., 2021] which is currently in press.

Usage

mrf_one_step_forecast(UnivariateData, Aggregation,
CoefficientCombination=NULL,
Method="r", Threshold="hard", Lambda=0.05)

Arguments

UnivariateData

[1:n] Numerical vector with n values.

CoefficientCombination

[1:Scales+1] Numerical vector with numbers which are associated with wavelet levels. The last number is associated with the smooth level. Each number determines the number of coefficient used per level. The selection follows a specific scheme.

Aggregation

[1:Scales] Numerical vector carrying numbers whose index is associated with the wavelet level. The numbers indicate the number of time in points used for aggregation from the original time series.

Method

String indicating which method to use. Available methods: 'r' = Autoregression. 'nn' = Neural Network. 'elm' = Extreme Learning Machine. 'nnetar' = forecast::nnetar. Default: Method="r".

Threshold

Character indicating if Thresholding is done on the wavelet decomposition or not. Default: Threshold="hard". Possible entries: Threshold="hard" for hard thresholding. Threshold="soft" for soft thresholding. Any other input indicates no thresholding.

Lambda

Numeric value indicating the threshold for computing a hard or soft threshold on the wavelet decomposition.

Value

forecast

Numerical value with one step forecast
