Abstract:

Existing nonparametric bootstrap methods for obtaining prediction intervals for vector autoregressive moving average (ARMA) processes require apriori knowledge of the autoregressive and moving average orders, p, q respectively. The sieve bootstrap method developed for stationary and invertible univariate processes overcomes this limitation. We implement a modified version of the sieve bootstrap method to multivariate ARMA processes and show, through a Monte Carlo study, that the procedure produces prediction intervals that achieve nominal or near nominal coverage probabilities. The robustness of this method under non-normality is tested using different error distributions and Monte Carlo results show that the coverage remains at nominal or near nominal levels under several non-normal distributions.
