Forecast future values for NMF-VAR model

nmfkc.ar.predict computes multi-step-ahead forecasts for a fitted NMF-VAR model using recursive forecasting.

If the fitted model contains time series property information (from nmfkc.ar), the forecasted values will have appropriate time-based column names.

Usage

nmfkc.ar.predict(x, Y, degree = NULL, n.ahead = 1)

Arguments

x

An object of class nmfkc (the fitted model).

Y

The historical observation matrix used for fitting (or at least the last degree columns).

degree

Optional integer. Lag order (D). If NULL (default), it is inferred from x$A.attr (when available) or from the dimensions of x$C.

n.ahead

Integer (>=1). Number of steps ahead to forecast.

Value

A list with components:

pred

A \(P \times n.ahead\) matrix of predicted values. Column names are future time points if time information is available.

time

A numeric vector of future time points corresponding to the columns of pred.
