Forecasting with a noncausal VAR model
We propose simulation-based forecasting methods for the noncausal vector autoregressive model proposed by Lanne and Saikkonen (2012). Simulation or numerical methods are required because the prediction problem is generally nonlinear and, therefore, its analytical solution is not available. It turns out that different special cases of the model call for different simulation procedures. Simulatio...
متن کاملMethods for Pastcasting, Nowcasting and Forecasting Using Factor-MIDAS with an Application to Real-Time Korean GDP *
We discuss a variety of recent methodological advances that can be used to estimate mixed frequency factor-MIDAS models for the purpose of pastcasting, nowcasting, and forecasting. In order to illustrate the uses of this methodology, we introduce a new real-time Korean GDP dataset, and carry out a series of prediction experiments, using a two step approach. In a first step, we estimate common l...
متن کاملPersonalized real time weather forecasting
Temperature forecasting and rain forecasting in today's environment is playing a major role in many fields like transportation, tour planning and agriculture. The purpose of this paper is to provide a real time forecasting to the user according to their current position and requirement. The simplest method of forecasting the weather, persistence, relies upon today's conditions to forecast the c...
متن کاملForecasting in VAR models with large datasets
This paper deals with model selection and forecasting in vector autoregressions (VARs) in situations where the set of available predictors is inconveniently large to accommodate with methods and diagnostics used in traditional small-scale models. Available information over this large dataset can be summarized into a considerably smaller set of variables through factors estimated by the dynamic ...
متن کاملEvaluating Real-Time VAR Forecasts with an Informative democratic Prior
This paper proposes Bayesian forecasting in a vector autoregression using a democratic prior. This prior is chosen to match the predictions of survey respondents. In particular, the unconditional mean for each series in the vector autoregression is centered around long-horizon survey forecasts. Heavy shrinkage toward the democratic prior is found to give good real-time predictions of a range of...
