Forecasting with unequally spaced data by a functional principal component approach

The Principal Component Regression model of multiple responses is extended to forccast a continuous-time stochastic process. Orthogonal projection on a subspace of trigonometric functions is applied in order to estimate the principal components using discrete-time observations from a sample of regular curves. The forecasts provided by this approach are compared with classical principal component regression on simulated data.
