Abstract

In the paper, we undertake a detailed empirical verification of wavelet scaling as a forecasting method through its application to a large set of noisy data. The method consists of two steps. In the first, the data are smoothed with the help of wavelet estimators of stochastic signals based on the idea of scaling, and, in the second, an AR(I)MA model is built on the estimated signal. This procedure is compared with some alternative approaches encompassing exponential smoothing, moving average, AR(I)MA and regularized AR models. Special attention is given to the ways of treating boundary regions in the wavelet signal estimation and to the use of biased, weakly biased and unbiased estimators of the wavelet variance. According to a collection of popular forecast accuracy measures, when applied to noisy time series with a high level of noise, wavelet scaling is able to outperform the other forecasting procedures, although this conclusion applies mainly to longer time series and not uniformly across all the examined accuracy measures.
