Extraction and forecasting of cyclic components of time series?

July 31st, 2008, 7:38 pm

Hellu!I have this time series, and I want to predict its cyclical behavior in the future.I’m thinking; decompose the T-S into trend and cycles, removing noise, then try to find a model for the cyclical part? What model should I use for forecasting the cycles, GARCH?Is there any good free software that I could use for this? Much appreciated!
