密度预测的变换AI 解读

The popular choice of using a $direct$ forecasting scheme implies that the individual predictions do not contain information on cross-horizon dependence. However, this dependence is needed if the forecaster has to construct, based on $direct$ density forecasts, predictive objects that are functions of several horizons ($e.g.$ when constructing annual-average growth rates from quarter-on-quarter growth rates). To address this issue we propose to use copulas to combine the…

用于宏观经济密度预测的贝叶斯双层稀疏分组回归AI 解读

We propose a Machine Learning approach for optimal macroeconomic density forecasting in a high-dimensional setting where the underlying model exhibits a known group structure. Our approach is general enough to encompass specific forecasting models featuring either many covariates, or unknown nonlinearities, or series sampled at different frequencies. By relying on the novel concept of bi-level sparsity in time-series econometrics, we construct density forecasts based on a…
