Out-of-sample prediction with VAR
...iate?
2. In case that I am doing it right, how is it possible that a
automatically fitted model with more variables actually performs less good
(in terms of MAPE)? Shouldn't it at least predict just as well as the
simple AR(3) by finding that the extra variables have no added value?
My code:
ts_Y <- ts(log_residuals[1:104]); # detrended sales data
ts_XGG <- ts(salesmodeldata$gtrends_global[1:104]);
ts_XGL <- ts(salesmodeldata$gtrends_local[1:104]);
training_matrix <- data.frame(ts_Y, ts_XGG, ts_XGL);
### Try VAR(3)
var_model <- VAR (y=training_matrix, p=3, type="b...
