Forecasting linear dynamical systems using subspace methods

Author

  • Alfredo García‐Hiernaux

Abstract

A new procedure to predict with subspace methods is presented in this paper. It is based on combining multiple forecasts obtained from setting a range of values for a speci c parameter that is typically xed by the user in the subspace methods literature. An algorithm to compute these predictions and to obtain a suitable number of combinations is provided. The procedure is illustrated by forecasting the German gross domestic product.
