OPTIMAL MULTISTEP VAR FORECAST AVERAGING
最优多步 VAR 预测平均
This article proposes frequentist multiple-equation least-squares averaging approaches for multistep forecasting with vector autoregressive (VAR) models. The proposed VAR forecast averaging methods are based on the multivariate Mallows model averaging (MMMA) and multivariate leave- h -out cross-validation averaging (MCVA h ) criteria (with h denoting the forecast horizon), which are valid for iterative and direct multistep forecast averaging, respectively. Under the…
