PREDICTION ERRORS IN NONSTATIONARY AUTOREGRESSIONS OF INFINITE ORDER
无限阶非平稳自回归的预测误差
Assume that observations are generated from nonstationary autoregressive (AR) processes of infinite order. We adopt a finite-order approximation model to predict future observations and obtain an asymptotic expression for the mean-squared prediction error (MSPE) of the least squares predictor. This expression provides the first exact assessment of the impacts of nonstationarity, model complexity, and model misspecification on the corresponding MSPE. It not only provides a…
