Bayesian forecast combination for VAR models∗
This paper proposes a Bayesian procedure for combining forecasts from multivariate forecasting models, e.g. VAR models. Standard applications of Bayesian model averaging suffer from a basic difficulty in this context, when additional variables are included and modelled the connection between the overall measure of fit for the model and the expected forecasting performance for the variables of i...
متن کاملForecast Calibration and Combination: A Simple Bayesian Approach for ENSO
This study presents a new simple approach for combining empirical with raw (i.e., not bias corrected) coupled model ensemble forecasts in order to make more skillful interval forecasts of ENSO. A Bayesian normal model has been used to combine empirical and raw coupled model December SST Niño-3.4 index forecasts started at the end of the preceding July (5-month lead time). The empirical forecast...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of normalized VAR models
Identified vector autoregressive (VAR) models have become widely used on time series data in recent years, but finite sample inference for such models remains a challenge. In this study, we propose a conjugate prior for Bayesian analysis of normalized VAR models. Under the prior, themarginal posterior of VAR parameters involved in identification can be either derived in closed form or simulated...
متن کامل4/RT/98 - Bayesian VAR Models for Forecasting Irish Inflation
In this paper we focus on the development of multiple time series models for forecasting Irish Inflation. The Bayesian approach to the estimation of vector autoregressive (VAR) models is employed. This allows the estimated models combine the evidence in the data with any prior information which may also be available. A large selection of inflation indicators are assessed as potential candidates...
