✦ Synopsis
Multiple forecasts for autoregressive-integrated moving-average (ARIMA) models are useful in many areas such as economics and business forecasting. In recent years, approximation methods to construct simultaneous prediction intervals for multiple forecasts arc developed. These methods were based on highex-order Bonfcrroni and product-type inequalities. In this article, we compare the 'exact' method which requires the evaluation of multivariate normal probabilities to the approximation methods. It is found that the exact method is computationally far more efficient. Furthermore, the exact method can be applied to all ARIMA models while the approximation methods are limited to only a subset of ARIMA models. Illustrative examples are given to compare the performance of various procedures. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
