Title: Spline-Backfitted Kernel Forecasting for Functional-Coefficient Autoregressive Models

Abstract:

The functional coefficient autoregressive (FCAR) model is a useful structure for reducing the size of the class of nonlinear time series models. This reduction in class is done by imposing coefficient functions in the autoregressive model. Spline-backfitted kernel smoothing (SBK) has been shown to be a computationally expedient and reliable method for estimating these models. We propose three forecasting methods that uses a SBK approach for estimating the coefficient functions. The performance of the SBK forecasts is analyzed through simulations and a solar irradiance data example.
