Let ${X_n}$ be a stationary and ergodic time series taking values from a finite or countably infinite set ${cal X}$. Assume that the distribution of the process is otherwise unknown. We propose a sequence of stopping times $lambda_n$ along which we will be able to estimate the conditional probability $P(X_{lambda_n+1}=x|X_0,...,X_{lambda_n})$ from data segment $(X_0,...,X_{lambda_n})$ in a pointwise consistent way for a restricted class of stationary and ergodic finite or countably infinite alphabet time series which includes among others all stationary and ergodic finitarily Markovian processes. If the stationary and ergodic process turns out to be finitarily Markovian (among others, all stationary and ergodic Markov chains are included in this class) then $ lim_{nto infty} {nover lambda_n}>0$ almost surely. If the stationary and ergodic process turns out to possess finite entropy rate then $lambda_n$ is upperbounded by a polynomial, eventually almost surely.

The problem of extracting as much information as possible from a sequence of observations of a stationary stochastic process $X_0,X_1,...X_n$ has been considered by many authors from different points of view. It has long been known through the work o
f D. Bailey that no universal estimator for $textbf{P}(X_{n+1}|X_0,X_1,...X_n)$ can be found which converges to the true estimator almost surely. Despite this result, for restricted classes of processes, or for sequences of estimators along stopping times, universal estimators can be found. We present here a survey of some of the recent work that has been done along these lines.
The forecasting problem for a stationary and ergodic binary time series ${X_n}_{n=0}^{infty}$ is to estimate the probability that $X_{n+1}=1$ based on the observations $X_i$, $0le ile n$ without prior knowledge of the distribution of the process ${X_
n}$. It is known that this is not possible if one estimates at all values of $n$. We present a simple procedure which will attempt to make such a prediction infinitely often at carefully selected stopping times chosen by the algorithm. We show that the proposed procedure is consistent under certain conditions, and we estimate the growth rate of the stopping times.
The forward estimation problem for stationary and ergodic time series ${X_n}_{n=0}^{infty}$ taking values from a finite alphabet ${cal X}$ is to estimate the probability that $X_{n+1}=x$ based on the observations $X_i$, $0le ile n$ without prior know
ledge of the distribution of the process ${X_n}$. We present a simple procedure $g_n$ which is evaluated on the data segment $(X_0,...,X_n)$ and for which, ${rm error}(n) = |g_{n}(x)-P(X_{n+1}=x |X_0,...,X_n)|to 0$ 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.
The setting is a stationary, ergodic time series. The challenge is to construct a sequence of functions, each based on only finite segments of the past, which together provide a strongly consistent estimator for the conditional probability of the nex
t observation, given the infinite past. Ornstein gave such a construction for the case that the values are from a finite set, and recently Algoet extended the scheme to time series with coordinates in a Polish space. The present study relates a different solution to the challenge. The algorithm is simple and its verification is fairly transparent. Some extensions to regression, pattern recognition, and on-line forecasting are mentioned.
Let ${X_n}_{n=0}^{infty}$ be a stationary real-valued time series with unknown distribution. Our goal is to estimate the conditional expectation of $X_{n+1}$ based on the observations $X_i$, $0le ile n$ in a strongly consistent way. Bailey and Ryabko
proved that this is not possible even for ergodic binary time series if one estimates at all values of $n$. We propose a very simple algorithm which will make prediction infinitely often at carefully selected stopping times chosen by our rule. We show that under certain conditions our procedure is strongly (pointwise) consistent, and $L_2$ consistent without any condition. An upper bound on the growth of the stopping times is also presented in this paper.
