I have never posted a question on the Statalist, I hope this is the
correct way to do it. My question is below, thank you!
I am running an ARIMA model with additional predictor variables (ARMAX)
to forecast sales tax collections. I am using dynamic forecasts to
produce 20-step ahead forecasts (20 future months). How do I build the
confidence intervals? I generated the mse, took the square root to
obtain the standard error (SE), and used the SE and the formula for 95%
confidence intervals, however the SE is the same for all forecasted
observations and the confidence bands do not widen. How do I calculate
"dynamic" confidence intervals? Thank you for your help!
