A regression surprise resolved
Jostein Lillestøl ()
and Jonas Andersson ()
Abstract: In this note we explore the following surprising fact: In
regression with trend and seasonality, the prediction risk is constant for
all seasons of a new cycle, despite the fact that it increases with time
when the seasons are left out. Awareness of this may be useful to both the
practicing statistician and to teachers of statistics. The challenge of
resolving the issue may also be given to students of statistics as a
research project.
