Question about how to perform k-step ahead prediction

[vickysun5]

Hi, I wonder how can I do the k-step ahead prediction after I fitted the system. (For example, I have a test data set and I want to use the model to do 1-step and 2-step prediction to see how it performs).

Moreover, what is the difference between the simulation and prediction modes? I am new to this filed and really appreciate your answer!

Dear vickysun5,

at the present, SIPPY does not implement a function to perform k-step ahead prediction.
Your issue is very interesting and we may consider to include this possibility in a future release.

In the identification routine, the prediction error is now calculated as the difference between the actual output and its one-step ahead prediction, e.g., all the the previous outputs, depending on the model order, are used to build the current output.

Hoping to have answered your questions.
