Tests of conditional predictive ability
We propose a framework for out-of-sample predictive ability testing and forecast selection designed for use in the realistic situation in which the forecasting model is possibly misspecified, due to unmodeled dynamics, unmodeled heterogeneity, incorrect functional form, or any combination of these. Relative to the existing literature (Diebold and Mariano (1995) and West (1996)), we introduce tw...
متن کاملSmooth Tests for Correct Specification of Conditional Predictive Densities
We develop two specification tests of predictive densities based on that the generalized residuals of correctly specified predictive density models are i.i.d. uniform. The simultaneous test compares the joint density of generalized residuals with product of uniform densities; the sequential test examines the hypotheses of serial independence and uniformity sequentially based on the copula repre...
متن کاملTests of Equal Predictive Ability with Real-Time Data
This paper examines the asymptotic and finite-sample properties of tests of equal forecast accuracy applied to direct, multi–step predictions from both non-nested and nested linear regression models. In contrast to earlier work in the literature, our asymptotics take account of the real-time, revised nature of the data. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that our asymptotic approximations yield r...
متن کاملIn-Sample Tests of Predictive Ability: A New Approach
This paper presents analytical, Monte Carlo, and empirical evidence linking insample tests of predictive content and out-of-sample forecast accuracy. Our approach focuses on the negative effect that finite-sample estimation error has on forecast accuracy despite the presence of significant population-level predictive content. Specifically, we derive simple-to-use in-sample tests that test not o...
متن کاملPredictive Density and Conditional Confidence Interval Accuracy Tests ∗
This paper outlines testing procedures for assessing the relative out-of-sample predictive accuracy of multiple conditional distribution models. The tests that are discussed are based on either the comparison of entire conditional distributions or the comparison of predictive confidence intervals. We also briefly survey existing related methods in the area of predictive density evaluation, incl...
