Abstract

In this chapter, a procedure is presented to use the bootstrap in choosing the best approximation in terms of forecasting performance for the equivalent state-space representation of a vector autoregressive model. It is found that the proposed procedure, which uses each approximant's forecasting performance, can enhance considerably an approach based simply on the estimated Hankel singular values.

Keywords: Initial state vector, Model reduction, Subset vector autoregression
