Weight Space Analysis and Forecast Uncertainty
The usage of location information of weight vectors can help to overcome deeciencies of gradient based learning for neural networks. We study the non-trivial structure of weight space, i. e., symmetries of feedforward networks in terms of their corresponding groups. We nd that these groups naturally act on and partition weight space into disjunct domains. We derive an algorithm to generate repr...
متن کاملMaintaining Realistic Uncertainty in Model and Forecast
Our long term goal is to better understand ensemble forecasting in general and the dynamics of initial uncertainty given only imperfect models in particular; we are most interested in the practical application to a real physical system, rather than toy examples where the model error is known a priori. Of particular interest to us are methods which aim to evaluate predictions of high dimensional...
متن کاملInformation Uncertainty and Analyst Forecast Behavior*
Prior literature observes that information uncertainty exacerbates investor underreaction behavior. In this paper, I investigate whether, as professional investment intermediaries, sellside analysts suffer more behavioral biases in cases of greater information uncertainty. I show that greater information uncertainty predicts more positive (negative) forecast errors and subsequent forecast revis...
متن کاملForecast Uncertainty Reduction in Nonlinear Models
In spite of widespread criticisms, macroeconometric models are still most popular for forecasting and policy analysis. When the most recent data available on both the exogenous and the endogenous variable are preliminary estimates subject to a revision process the estimators of the coeecients are aaected by the presence of the preliminary data, the projections for the exogenous variables are aa...
متن کاملA New Measure of Earnings Forecast Uncertainty
Relying on the well-established theoretical result that uncertainty has a common and an idiosyncratic component, we propose a new measure of earnings forecast uncertainty as the sum of dispersion among analysts and the variance of mean forecast errors estimated by a GARCH model. The new measure is based on both common and private information available to analysts at the time they make their for...
