I have a set of $n$ objects where an object, $n_x$, consists of two time series lists of numbers. ${n_1, n_2, n_3,...,n_n}$ where $n_x={2,3,4,1,3,5,34,...},{4323,23,42,34,1,1,1,...}$.
For each $n_x$ object, time series one has been shown to be granger causal at some lag for time series two.
The lag that is most predictive for each object is not necessarily the same.
I am a complete novice to mathematical modeling, however in my lab I sadly am the person with the most mathematical background. For this problem, what type of model is appropriate for using time series one values to predict future values of time series two? In my mind, I would like to have a training subset of the objects, which fits a model, and then the model is tested for its ability to predict the values for the other objects.
This is not a homework question, I work in a biology lab as a graduate student.
