Updating a linear forecast.


e are interested in forecasting of quantity $y_{3}$ based on information MATH . The information comes as a flow. So, at first, we know $y_{1}$ . Based on $y_{1}$ we compute the projection MATH . Then we receive additional data $y_{2}$ and obtain MATH . Our goal here is to express MATH as a function of $y_{2}$ , MATH and MATH . Such result would provide a recursive relationship useful for general situation of long information flow MATH .

Our computation below is motivated by the fact that for $y_{1}\perp y_{2}$ we have MATH In general $y_{1}$ and $y_{2}$ are not orthogonal so we make a correction: MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH MATH
