Abstract
This paper addresses both theoretical and methodological issues related to the prediction of long-memory models with incomplete data. Estimates and forecasts are calculated by means of state space models and the influence of data gaps on the performance of short and long run predictions is investigated. These techniques are illustrated with a statistical analysis of the minimum water levels of the Nile river, a time series exhibiting strong dependency.
