## Abstract Density forecast (DF) possesses appealing properties when it is correctly specified for the true conditional distribution. Although a number of parametric specification tests have been introduced for the DF evaluation (DFE) in the parameterโfree context, econometric DF models are typica

Abstract
We consider one parametric and five semiparametric approaches to estimate D in SARFIMA (0, D, 0)~s~ processes, that is, when the process is a fractionally integrated ARMA model with seasonality s. We also consider hโstepโahead forecasting for these processes. We present the proof of some features of this model and also a study based on a Monte Carlo simulation for different sample sizes and different seasonal periods. We compare the different estimation procedures analyzing the bias, the mean squared error values, and the confidence intervals for the estimators. We also consider three different methods to choose the total number of regressors in the regression analysis for the semiparametric class of estimation procedures. We apply the methodology to the Nile River flow monthly data, and also to a simulated seasonal fractionally integrated time series.โโCopyright ยฉ 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## ABSTRACT This paper concerns Longโterm forecasts for cointegrated processes. First, it considers the case where the parameters of the model are known. The paper analytically shows that neither cointegration nor integration constraint matters in Longโterm forecasts. It is an alternative implicati
