A.M. Alonso, C. García-Martos, J. Rodríguez, M. J. Sánchez Seasonal dynamic factor model and bootstrap inference: Application to electricity market forecasting 5. Simulation results Bootstrap procedure was validated using a Monte Carlo experiment using three different models: Model 1: A common nonstationary factor (1-B)f t = c + w t, i.e. an I(1) with non null drift (c=3), for m=4 observed series. This model has been selected because it appears in Peña and Poncela (2004), and we have added the constant to validate its estimation, since we have included this possibility in our model. Model 2: A common nonstationary factor (1-B)(1-0.5B) f t = w t, for m=3 observed series. Model 3: We check the performance of our procedure when there is a seasonal pattern. There is a common nonstationary factor following a seasonal multiplicative ARIMA model (1-B 7 )(1-0.4B)(1-0.15B 7 )f t = w t, for m=4 observed series.
