Abstract

This study investigates the Semiparametric Time Series Regression with Mixed Additive Spline–Fourier (STSR–MASF) model as an innovation for modeling time series data characterized by simultaneous linear, nonlinear, and seasonal structures. The proposed model integrates an autoregressive parametric component with two nonparametric estimators: a truncated spline to capture local nonlinear variations and a Fourier series to represent periodic patterns. Model performance is evaluated through a comprehensive simulation study under various scenarios involving different numbers of spline knots, Fourier oscillations, sample sizes, and noise levels. The simulated data are divided into training and testing sets to assess both estimation quality and predictive performance. Results from the training data indicate that parameter estimation becomes more stable and GCV values decrease as the sample size increases, whereas higher noise levels lead to larger estimation errors. Evaluation on the testing data shows that prediction errors generally decline with increasing sample size but increase under higher noise conditions. Overall, the STSR–MASF model demonstrates stable estimation and good generalization performance in capturing complex time series structures across diverse simulation settings.
