Forecasting With Bayesian Vector Autoregressions—Five Years of Experience
使用贝叶斯向量自回归进行预测:五年经验
The results obtained in five years of forecasting with Bayesian vector autoregressions (BVAR's) demonstrate that this inexpensive, reproducible statistical technique is as accurate, on average, as those used by the best known commercial forecasting services. This article considers the problem of economic forecasting, the justification for the Bayesian approach, its implementation, and the performance of one small BVAR model over the past five years.
