Abstract: The forward estimation problem for stationary and ergodic time series Xnn=0infty taking values from a finite alphabet calX is to estimate the probability that Xn+1=x based on the observations Xi, 0leilen without prior knowledge of the distribution of the process Xn. We present a simple procedure gn which is evaluated on the data segment (X0,...,Xn) and for which, merror(n)=|gn(x)−P(Xn+1=x|X0,...,Xn)|o0 almost surely for a subclass of all stationary and ergodic time series, while for the full class the Cesaro average of the error tends to zero almost surely and moreover, the error tends to zero in probability.
