Jul 19, 2019 at 4:06 comment added Dayne One important thing to realize here is that the distribution of error/noise cannot be assumed to be normally distributed because the support if the rv is restricted to 0-360. This may complicate estimation process also. You may probably find something in literature with non-normal distribution.
Dec 22, 2016 at 7:55 comment added krsnik93 They also use Cartesian coordinates (as suggested by whuber) to represent angles and then fit a VAR model... There are some additional interesting papers like: www1.maths.leeds.ac.uk/statistics/pgstats/theses/hughes.pdf, researchgate.net/publication/… and maths.dur.ac.uk/stats/people/psc/thesis.pdf...
Dec 22, 2016 at 7:50 comment added krsnik93 There are some papers on this subject, right now I'm looking at this one:link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10463-008-0207-z
Dec 21, 2016 at 8:07 comment added MarkR Do you have more specifics about what you are trying to understand through the modelling? Additional informaton on the reason/purpose would be good. I would imagine modelling the change in direction, for instance, would be easier (e.g. change in degrees could result in a cyclic or sinusoidal model). Your questions seems to be hinting at whether the model is good enough - that will be determined by your technical experience and fit?
Dec 18, 2016 at 16:34 comment added krsnik93 The data goes from 0 to 359°59'59'' (converted to float)... When I say value interval, I mean the range of possible values, it's continuous but also circular... For example, when I forecast and the values get close to 360, the confidence interval goes well over 360... The model doesn't realize that the interval should be circular, so that 359°59'59'' is the maximal possible value and the next one is 0 again... Haven't tried Cartesian coordinates, that would require a VAR model then (2 series, one for cosine and another for sine value)?

Dec 18, 2016 at 15:59 comment added whuber Have you considered using Cartesian coordinates (that is, cosine and sine of the angle) for the directions?
Dec 18, 2016 at 15:01 comment added IrishStat I don't see why not . Perhaps if you post your actual data I may be able to see better. The term "value interval" is somewhat vague to me.
