There is a recent interest in developing new statistical methods to predict time series by taking into account a continuous set of past values as predictors. In this functional time series prediction approach, we propose a functional version of the partial linear model that allows both to consider additional covariates and to use a continuous path in the past to predict future values of the process. The aim of this paper is to present this model, to construct some estimates and to look at their properties both from a theoretical point of view by means of asymptotic results and from a practical perspective by treating some real data sets. Although the literature on the use of parametric or nonparametric functional modeling is growing, as far as we know, this is the first paper on semiparametric functional modeling for the prediction of time series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
