forecast 2 step ahead an arma(2,2) in matlab

To forecast 2 steps ahead of an ARMA(2,2) model in Matlab, you can use the forecast function from the Econometrics Toolbox. Here is an example code to do so:

main.m
% Define your ARMA(2,2) model
model = arima('AR', [0.8, -0.5], 'MA', [0.4, -0.6], 'Constant', 1, 'Variance', 0.5);

% Load or create your time series data
data = load('my_time_series_data.mat');
y = data.y; % Your time series data
T = length(y); % Length of your time series

% Specify the number of steps ahead to forecast
h = 2;

% Forecast 2 steps ahead of your ARMA(2,2) model
Yf = forecast(model, y, h);

% Plot the forecasted values alongside the original series
figure;
plot(y, 'b');
hold on;
plot(T+1:T+h, Yf, 'r');
legend({'Original Series', 'Forecasted Values'});
title('2-Step Ahead Forecast of ARMA(2,2)');

In this example, we first define the ARMA(2,2) model using the arima function. We then load or create our time series data y. We also set the number of steps ahead to forecast h to 2.

Next, we use the forecast function to forecast 2 steps ahead of our model. The forecast function takes in the model, the time series data, and the number of steps to forecast, and outputs the forecasted values.

Finally, we plot the original time series alongside the forecasted values using the plot function. The blue line is the original time series, while the red line is the forecasted values.
