Preface

Forecasting and time series prediction have seen a great deal of development and attention over the last few decades, fostered by an impressive improvement in observational capabilities and measurement procedures. Time series prediction is a challenge in many fields. In finance, one forecasts stock exchange or stock market indices; data processing specialists forecast the flow of information on their networks; producers of electricity forecast the electric load, and hydrologists forecast river floods. Many methods designed for time series prediction and forecasting perform well (depending on the complexity of the problem) on a rather short-term horizon but are rather poor on a longer-term one. This is due to the fact that these methods are usually designed to optimize the perf
