Hits-and-misses for the evaluation and combination of forecasts
نویسنده
چکیده
Error measures for the evaluation of forecasts are usually based on the size of the forecast errors. Common measures are e.g. the Mean Squared Error (MSE), the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) or the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Alternative measures for the comparison of forecasts are turning points or hits-and-misses, where an indicator loss function is used to decide, if a forecast is of high quality or not. Here, we discuss the latter to obtain reliable combined forecasts.

The Variance-covariance Method using IOWGA Operator for Tourism Forecast Combination
Three combination methods commonly used in tourism forecasting are the simple average method, the variance-covariance method and the discounted MSFE method. These methods assign the different weights that can not change at each time point to each individual forecasting model. In this study, we introduce the IOWGA operator combination method which can overcome the defect of previous three combin...

Interpretation of FIFO Replacement Daniel Grund and Jan Reineke Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany Abstract. In hard real-time systems, the execution time of programs must be bounded by static timing analysis. For today’s embedded systems featuring caches, static analyses must predict cache hits and misses with high precision to obtain useful bounds. For caches with least-recentlyused (L...
