Local Prediction of Chaotic Time Series Based on Polynomial Coefficient Autoregressive Model

We apply the polynomial function to approximate the functional coefficients of the state-dependent autoregressive model for chaotic time series prediction. We present a novel local nonlinear model called local polynomial coefficient autoregressive prediction (LPP) model based on the phase space reconstruction. The LPP model can effectively fit nonlinear characteristics of chaotic time series with simple structure and have excellent one-step forecasting performance. We have also proposed a kernel LPP (KLPP) model which applies the kernel technique for the LPP model to obtain better multistep forecasting performance. The proposed models are flexible to analyze complex and multivariate nonlinear structures. Both simulated and real data examples are used for illustration.
