Multiperiod Predictions from Stochastic Difference Equations by Bayesian Methods
基于贝叶斯方法的随机差分方程多期预测
Given n observations on a system of linear stochastic difference equations with appropriate initial conditions, and given a prior density (possibly diffuse) of its parameters, this paper obtains the predictor of the time series k periods into the future with minimum mean squared error. Completely analytical solution is given for predictions from the first-order univariate system, and, in the general higher-order multivariate case, for k up to 5. econometric equations to…
