Time series prediction using multiple series

7 views (last 30 days)
NAR seems to be the tool of choice for predicting future values of a single time series y, using only its past as input.
NARX is the tool when there is a second series x thought to be predictive of the first, along with that series.
What are the best approaches when there are multiple "second series" to be used, eg x1, x2,... XN ?
Thanks

Before blindly using ANY time series function, determine which delays are significant.
[ O N ] = size(t); O = 1
[I N ] = size(x); I >=1
zsct1 = zscore(t,1);
zscx1 = zscore(x',1)';
Now use xcorr, crosscorr (which I do not have) or nncorr to calculate and plot, correlation functions to help determine the significant positive delays of
1. The output autocorrelation function (correlation of current output with past outputs)
autocorrt = nncorr(zsct1,zsct1,N-1,'biased');
autocorrt(positive delays) = autocorrt(N+1:2*N-1);
2. Positive delays of the input/output crosscorrelation functions (correlation of current input with past outputs)
crosscorrtx1 = nncorr(zsct1,zscx1(1,:),N-1,'biased');
crosscorrtx2 = nncorr(zsct1,zscx1(2,:),N-1,'biased');
...
crosscorrxtI = nncorr(zsct1,zscx1(I,:),N-1,'biased');
However, the time series neural nets do not allow different delays for
different components of the input.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for formally accepting my answer.

You can provide any number of exogenous inputs to your NARX network. If you are using the neural network toolbox, then just stack them all up in a cell and feed it to the network.
Run "NTSTOOL" and click 'load example data set', has some examples where they provide more than 1 X
