多个预测模型比较的统计检验AI 解读

We consider a multivariate version of the Diebold–Mariano test for equal predictive ability of three or more forecasting models. The Wald-type test, S, which has a null distribution that is asymptotically chi-squared, is shown to be generally invariant with respect to the ordering of the models being compared. Finite-sample corrections for the test are also developed. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that S has reasonable size properties in large samples but tends to be…

基于月度与季度序列的新经济周期同步指数AI 解读

Abstract Popular monthly coincident indices of business cycles, e.g. the composite index and the Stock–Watson coincident index, have two shortcomings. First, they ignore information contained in quarterly indicators such as real GDP. Second, they lack economic interpretation; hence the heights of peaks and the depths of troughs depend on the choice of an index. This paper extends the Stock–Watson coincident index by applying maximum likelihood factor analysis to a…

预测准确性的比较AI 解读

We propose and evaluate explicit tests of the null hypothesis of no difference in the accuracy of two competing forecasts. In contrast to previously developed tests, a wide variety of accuracy measures can be used (in particular, the loss function need not be quadratic and need not even be symmetric), and forecast errors can be non-Gaussian, nonzero mean, serially correlated, and contemporaneously correlated. Asymptotic and exact finite-sample tests are proposed, evaluated,…

动态非线性模型预测量的大样本性质AI 解读

The large-sample behavior of one-period-ahead and multiperiod-ahead predictors for a dynamic nonlinear simultaneous system is examined in this paper. Conditional on final values of the endogenous variables, the asymptotic moments of the deterministic, closed-form, Monte Carlo stochastic, and several variations of the residual-based stochastic predictor are analyzed. For one-period-ahead prediction, the results closely parallel our previous findings for static nonlinear…

非线性联立系统中基于残差的预测与估计程序AI 解读

This paper proposes the residual-based stochastic predictor as an alternative procedure for obtaining forecasts with a static nonlinear econometric model. This procedure modifies the usual Monte Carlo approach to stochastic simulations of the model in that calculated residuals over the sample period are used as proxies for disturbances instead of random draws from some assumed parametric distribution. In compar-ison with the Monte Carlo predictor, the residual-based should…
