Nearest-Neighbor Forecasts of U.S Interest Rates

We employ a nonlinear, nonparametric method to model the stochastic behavior of changes in several short and long term U.S interest rates. We apply a nonlinear autoregression to the series using the locally weighted regression (LWR) estimation method, a nearest-neighbor method, and evaluate the for...
