Trend extraction from time series is often performed by using the filter proposed by Leser (1961), also known as the Hodrick-Prescott filter. Practical problems arise, however, if the time series contains structural breaks (as produced by German unification for German time series, for instance),...

Pooling forecasts obtained from different procedures typically reduces the mean square forecast error and more generally improves the quality of the forecast. In this paper we evaluate whether pooling interpolated or backdated time series obtained from different procedures can also improve the...

Trend extraction from time series is often performed by using the filter proposed by Leser (1961), also known as the Hodrick-Prescott filter. A practical problem arises, however, when some data points are missing. This note proposes a method for coping with this problem.

This article presents a simple non-polynomial spline that may be used to construct Lorenz curves from grouped data. The … spline is naturally convex and works by determining a series of piecewise segments that may be joined to give a smooth and … spline to approximate some known Lorenz curves and assess the technique by comparing the estimated Gini coefficient to the …

regression model are simply values of the spline at reference points on the X axis. The recent addition, flexcurv, is an easy … flexcurv now have the additional option of generating an incomplete basis of reference splines, with the reference spline for a … design matrix and can then be used to estimate differences between values of the spline at the remaining reference points and …
