ll.edm: Nonlinear forecasting of local polynomial `empirical dynamic model'.

Description

A function to forcaste a local polynomial `empirical dynamic model'.

Usage

ll.edm(x, order, bandwidth, len = NA, deg = 2)

Arguments

x

A time series without missing values.

order

The order for the nonparametric (local polynomial) autoregression.

bandwidth

The bandwidth for the nonparametric (local polynomial) autoregression.

len

The length of the predicted time-series. If NA the length of the training time series will be used.

deg

The degree of the local polynomial.

Value

A time series with the nonlinear (nonparametric) forecast is returned

Details

The function produces a nonlinear (nonparametric) forecast using the conditional mean method of Fan et al (1996). A Gaussian kernel is used for the local polynomial autoregression.

The bandwidth and order is best estimated with the ll.order-function.

Missing values are NOT permitted.

If deg is set to 0, the forecast uses the Nadaraya-Watson (locally constant) estimator of the conditional expectation against lagged-abundances.
