statsmodels.tsa.ar_model.AR.predict

AR.predict(params, start=None, end=None, dynamic=False) [source]

Returns in-sample and out-of-sample prediction.

Parameters:
  • params (array) – The fitted model parameters.
  • start (int, str, or datetime) – Zero-indexed observation number at which to start forecasting, ie., the first forecast is start. Can also be a date string to parse or a datetime type.
  • end (int, str, or datetime) – Zero-indexed observation number at which to end forecasting, ie., the first forecast is start. Can also be a date string to parse or a datetime type.
  • dynamic (bool) – The dynamic keyword affects in-sample prediction. If dynamic is False, then the in-sample lagged values are used for prediction. If dynamic is True, then in-sample forecasts are used in place of lagged dependent variables. The first forecasted value is start.
Returns:

predicted values

Return type:

array

Notes

The linear Gaussian Kalman filter is used to return pre-sample fitted values. The exact initial Kalman Filter is used. See Durbin and Koopman in the references for more information.
