Evolutionary computation for climate and ocean forecasting: “El Niño forecasting”
It has been recently postulated that the irregular dynamics of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) may embed a low order chaotic process. If true, some aspects of the ENSO variability are predictable. Here, from observations of the annual average Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the tropical Pacific Ocean (1949-1981) and using an evolutionary genetic analysis, we characterise the chaotic nature...
متن کاملVARMA versus VAR for Macroeconomic Forecasting
In this paper, we argue that there is no compelling reason for restricting the class of multivariate models considered for macroeconomic forecasting to VARs given the recent advances in VARMA modelling methodology and improvements in computing power. To support this claim, we use real macroeconomic data and show that VARMA models forecast macroeconomic variables more accurately than VAR models.
متن کاملMacroeconomic Forecasting Using Diffusion Indexes
This article studies forecasting a macroeconomic time series variable using a large number of predictors. The predictors are summarized using a small number of indexes constructed by principal component analysis. An approximate dynamic factor model serves as the statistical framework for the estimation of the indexes and construction of the forecasts. The method is used to construct 6-, 12-, an...
متن کاملThe State of Macroeconomic Forecasting
Macroeconomic forecasts are used extensively in industry and government The historical accuracy of US and UK forecasts are examined in the light of different approaches to evaluating macro forecasts. Issues discussed include the comparative accuracy of macroeconometric models compared to their time series alternatives, whether the forecasting record has improved over time, the rationality of ma...
متن کاملTwo Approaches to Macroeconomic Forecasting
F ollowing World War II, the quantity and quality of macroeconomic data expanded dramatically. The most important factor was the regular publication of the National Income and Product Accounts, which contained hundreds of consistently defined and measured statistics that summarized overall economic activity. As the data supply expanded, entrepreneurs realized that a market existed for applying ...
