PCA predictive power.

December 16th, 2010, 10:21 pm

There seems to be a lot of work done on PCA modeling of crude oil futures. Any ideas on how robust the method is , I have used it in the past but did not get much luck with it.I think its an ok contemporaneous method but one that has less predictive power, I am interested in forecasting the dynamics of the the entire curve in time. Any ideas much appreciated.
