Most of the literature on combination of forecasts deals with the assumption of unbiased individual forecasts. Here, we consider the case of biased forecasts and discuss two different combination techniques resulting in an unbiased forecast. On the one hand we correct the individual forecasts,...

When a forecaster predicts the future value of a certain random variable it is very likely that he will not only forecast that certain variable but he will also forecast other variables from the same field. In the literature on the combination of several individual forecasts univariate...

The paper explores the effect of measurement errors on the estimation of a linear panel data model. The conventional fixed effects estimator, which ignores measurement errors, is biased. By correcting for the bias one can construct consistent and asymptotically normal estimators. In addition, we...

Beta regression - an increasingly popular approach for modeling rates and proportions - is extended in various … directions: (a) bias correction/reduction of the maximum likelihood estimator, (b) beta regression tree models by means of … recursive partitioning, (c) latent class beta regression by means of finite mixture models. All three extensions may be of …

We analyze macroeconomic data using univariate and multivariate forecast combining techniques. We simulate forecast errors with different variance-covariance structures. The simulations are used to compare the performance of univariate and multivariate combining techniques.

In this paper we use 4 different time series models to forecast sales in a goods management system. We use a variety of forecast combining techniques and measure the forecast quality by applying symmetric and asymmetric forecast quality measures. Simple, rank-, and criteria-based combining...
