Abstract



Bootstrap prediction bands for functional time series

By Hanlin Shang
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia


Abstract:
A bootstrap procedure for constructing prediction bands for a stationary functional time series is proposed. The procedure exploits a general vector autoregressive representation of the time-reversed series of Fourier coefficients appearing in the Karhunen-Loève representation of the functional process. It generates backwards-in-time, functional replicates that adequately mimic the dependence structure of the underlying process in a model-free way and have the same conditionally fixed curves at the end of each functional pseudo-time series. The bootstrap prediction error distribution is then calculated as the difference between the model-free, bootstrap-generated future functional observations and the functional forecasts obtained from the model used for prediction. This allows the estimated prediction error distribution to account for not only the innovation and estimation errors associated with prediction but also for the possible errors due to model misspecification. We establish asymptotic validity of the bootstrap procedure in estimating the conditional prediction error distribution of interest and we also show that the procedure enables the construction of prediction bands that achieve (asymptotically) the desired coverage. Such prediction bands also can be based on a consistent estimation of the conditional distribution of the studentized prediction error process. Through a simulation study and the analysis of two data sets, we demonstrate the capabilities and the good finite-sample performance of the proposed method.
