A Note on Variance Decomposition with Local Projections
We propose and study properties of several estimators of variance decomposition in the local-projections framework. We find for empirically relevant sample sizes that, after being bias corrected with bootstrap, our estimators perform well in simulations. We also illustrate the workings of our estimators empirically for monetary policy and productivity shocks.
متن کاملEvaluating Forecast Error in State Population Projections Using Census 2000 Counts
In order to determine if a popular summary statistic, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), is a valid measure of forecast error for the Census Bureau=s 1995 to 2000 state population projections, statistical tests and graphs were used to determine if the error distribution is strongly influenced by outliers. It was found that the absolute percentage error distribution is skewed and asymmet...
متن کاملFrom Fixed-X to Random-X Regression: Bias-Variance Decompositions, Covariance Penalties, and Prediction Error Estimation
In the field of statistical prediction, the tasks of model selection and model evaluation have received extensive treatment in the literature. Among the possible approaches for model selection and evaluation are those based on covariance penalties, which date back to at least 1960s, and are still widely used today. Most of the literature on this topic is based on what we call the “Fixed-X” assu...
متن کاملVariance Forecast Performance Measures : An Economic Approach ∗
This paper introduces an economically motivated performance measure for variance forecasts based on variance trading. The performance measure is constructed within a microeconomic framework that mimics the decision-making process of a variance trader who uses volatility forecasts to predict future profitability of a trade. The new performance measure can serve as a useful complement to more tra...
متن کاملBias/Variance Decompositions for Likelihood-Based Estimators
The bias/variance decomposition of mean-squared error is well understood and relatively straightforward. In this note, a similar simple decomposition is derived, valid for any kind of error measure that, when using the appropriate probability model, can be derived from a Kullback-Leibler divergence or log-likelihood.
