Estimation and Prediction for a Class of Dynamic Nonlinear Statistical Models
一类动态非线性统计模型的估计与预测
A class of nonlinear state-space models, characterized by a single source of randomness, is introduced. A special case, the model underpinning the multiplicative Holt-Winters method of forecasting, is identified. Maximum likelihood estimation based on exponential smoothing instead of a Kalman filter, and with the potential to be applied in contexts involving non-Gaussian disturbances, is considered. A method for computing prediction intervals is proposed and evaluated on…
