Assessing Forecast Accuracy Measures
This paper looks into the issue of evaluating forecast accuracy measures. In the theoretical direction, for comparing two forecasters, only when the errors are stochastically ordered, the ranking of the forecasts is basically independent of the form of the chosen measure. We propose wellmotivated Kullback-Leibler Divergence based accuracy measures. In the empirical direction, we study the perfo...
متن کاملImproving Forecast Accuracy by Guided Manual Overwrite in Forecast Debiasing
We present ongoing work on a model-driven decision support system (DSS) that is aimed at providing guidance on reflecting and adjusting judgmental forecasts. We consider judgmental forecasts of cash flows generated by local experts in numerous subsidiaries of an international corporation. Forecasts are generated in a decentralized, non-standardized fashion, and corporate managers and controller...
متن کاملAssessing Error Bound For Dominant Point Detection
This paper compares the error bounds of two classes of dominant point detection methods, viz. methods based on reducing a distance metric and methods based on digital straight segments. We highlight using two methods in each class that the error bounds within the same class may vary depending upon the fine details and control parameters of the methods but the essential error bound can be determ...
متن کاملTesting Forecast Accuracy
Despite the obvious desirability of formal testing procedures, earlier efforts at assessing the forecast accuracy of an estimated model revolved around the calculation of summary forecast error statistics e.g., see Klein (1991); Clements and Hendry (1993); Wallis (1995); Newbold, Harvey, and Leybourne (1999); and Stock and Watson (1999). Resort to such an informal approach may be ascribed mainl...
متن کاملMeasuring forecast accuracy
It is important to evaluate forecast accuracy using genuine forecasts. That is, it is invalid to look at how well a model fits the historical data; the accuracy of forecasts can only be determined by considering how well a model performs on new data that were not used when estimating the model. When choosing models, it is common to use a portion of the available data for testing, and use the re...
