Guys,

Is there a way to do a rolling walk-forward optimization as depicted in:

in RATS e.g for an AR model?

That's an ad, not an algorithm. However, it sounds like it's just using a holdback period, or simulated out-of-sample forecasts, both of which are routinely done in macroeconometrics. It's what the @RUNTHEIL procedure in chapter 7 of the User's Guide is doing. The CANMODEL.RPF, ARIMA.RPF and SIMULTHE.RPF examples all do something similar.
