Abstract

By using the alternating projection theorem of J. von Neumann, we obtain explicit formulae for the best linear interpolator and interpolation error of missing values of a stationary process. These are expressed in terms of multistep predictors and autoregressive parameters of the process. The key idea is to approximate the future by a finite-dimensional space.
