Model averaging based on leave-subject-out cross-validation for vector autoregressions
基于留主体交叉验证的向量自回归模型平均
The vector autoregressive (VAR) model is a useful tool for economic evaluation and prediction. This paper develops a leave-subject-out cross-validation model averaging (LsoMA) method to average predictions from VAR models. The approximate unbiasedness of LsoMA and its asymptotic optimality in terms of obtaining the lowest possible quadratic errors are established. The rate of the LsoMA based weights converging to the optimal weights minimizing the expected quadratic errors…
