Hi,
Let's have a stationary data with 100 elements. Let's use the first 70 for defining an appropriate ARIMA model (EstMdl), and use the last 30 for tests. Test 1: infering residuals for the last 30 elements: E = infer(EstMdl,data(71:100),'Y0',dat(1:70)); Test 2: forecasting the last 30 elements: OUT = forecast(EstMdl,30,'Y0',dat(1:70)); then determining the residual as: res = data(71:100)-OUT;
According to my understanding, res should be equal to E. But they are not. Why?

Hi @Lorant Foldvary,
As per my understanding, you want to know why there is discrepancy in the output of the two functions.
The difference is coming due to the below two reasons:
  • "infer" computes residuals based on how well the model fits the known data, while "forecast" predicts future values and compares them to actual data, reflecting predictive accuracy.
  • Both functions use initial conditions differently; "infer" focuses on fitting within the known dataset, whereas "forecast" extends beyond the training data for predictions.
I hope it clears your doubt :)
