We consider interval-valued time series, that is, series resulting from collecting real intervals as an ordered sequence through time. Since the lower and upper bounds of observed at each point are in fact values same variable, they naturally related. propose modeling interval with space–time autoregressive models and, based on process appropriate for bounds, we derive model intervals’ center radius. A simulation study application data daily wind speed different meteorological stations...
