class NullModel extends ForecasterVec with NoFeatureSelectionF

The NullModel class provides basic time series analysis capabilities. For a 'NullModel' model with the time series data stored in vector 'y', the next value 'y_t = y(t)' may be predicted based on the prior value of 'y' and its noise:

y_t = ym + e_t

where 'e' is the noise vector. Random Walk is a special case of AR(1) with the parameter set to one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
