The original time series can be recovered by summing all components. However, only the components associated to the signal should be considered for the reconstruction of the noise-free time series and to conduct forecasts. When the time series data has the presence of outliers, SSA and other classic parametric and non-parametric methods might result in misleading conclusions and robust methodologies should be used. In this paper we consider the use of two robust SSA algorithms for model fit and one for model forecasting. The classic SSA model, the robust SSA alternatives, and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model are compared in terms of computational time and accuracy for model fit and model forecast, using a simulation example and time series data from the quotas and returns of six mutual investment funds. When outliers are present in the data, the simulation study shows that the robust SSA algorithms outperform the classical ARIMA and SSA models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22010083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,10]],"date-time":"2020-01-10T04:06:51Z","timestamp":1578629211000},"page":"83","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["The Decomposition and Forecasting of Mutual Investment Funds Using Singular Spectrum Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1248-9910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo Canas","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Federal University of Bahia, 40170-110 Salvador, Brazil"},{"name":"CAST, Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere University, FI-33014 Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonatha","family":"Pimentel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Federal University of Bahia, 40170-110 Salvador, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Messala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Federal University of Bahia, 40170-110 Salvador, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9042-6552","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Kazemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, Shahrood University of Technology, P.O.
