LASSO principal component averaging: A fully automated approach for point forecast pooling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops a novel, fully automated forecast averaging scheme which combines LASSO estimation with principal component (PCA). LASSO-PCA (LPCA) explores pool of predictions based on single model but calibrated to windows different sizes. It uses information criteria select tuning parameters and hence reduces the impact researchers’ ad hoc decisions. The method is applied average hourly day-ahead electricity prices over 650 point forecasts obtained various lengths calibration windows. evaluated four European American markets an out-of-sample period almost two half years compared other semi- methods, such as simple mean, AW/WAW, LASSO, PCA. results indicate that very efficient in terms error reduction, whereas PCA robust selection specification parameter. LPCA inherits advantages both methods outperforms approaches mean absolute error, remaining insensitive choice

Forecast comparison of principal component regression and principal covariate regression
Forecasting with many predictors is of interest, for instance, in macroeconomics and finance. This paper compares two methods for dealing with many predictors, that is, principal component regression (PCR) and principal covariate regression (PCovR). The forecast performance of these methods is compared by simulating data from factor models and from regression models. The simulations show that, ...
متن کاملA Modi ed Principal Component Technique Based on the LASSO
In many multivariate statistical techniques, a set of linear functions of the original p variables is produced. One of the more dif cult aspects of these techniques is the interpretation of the linear functions, as these functions usually have nonzero coef cients on all p variables. A common approach is to effectively ignore (treat as zero) any coef cients less than some threshold value, so ...
متن کاملFuzzy C-Means Clustering Based Principal Component Averaging Fusion
Image fusion is a method of imparting all relevant and complementary image details into a single composite image extracted from images of same source or various sources. This paper proposes a fusion method based on segmented regions of source images which are obtained by a fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. Robust clustering is exhibited by Fuzzy C-means algorithm by assigning fuzzy membership...
متن کاملGeneral practitioners\' views on key factors affecting their desired income: A principal component analysis approach
Background: Based on the target income hypothesis, the economic behavior of physicians is mainly affected by their target income. This study aimed at designing an instrument to explain how general practitioners (GPs) set their desired income. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire of affecting factors on GPs' target income was extracted from literature reviews and a small qual...
