yes, it is possible.... but not (yet?) with a builtin function,
but rather by writing code to do it --- using the fracdiff()
result *and* the data from which you want to make h-ahead
predictions (which I assume is what you want).

At the moment, there's not even  residuals() or fitted()
methods available for fracdiff objects.
At least those are really just an exercise to implement
(which might not be true for the h-ahead predictions:
 There you'd probably need a version of the Durbin-Lewinson or the
 innovations algorithm).

User contributions are very welcome... ;-)
