Bayesian forecasting with highly correlated predictors
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers Bayesian variable selection in regressions with a large number of possibly highly correlated macroeconomic predictors. I show that by acknowledging the correlation structure in the predictors can improve forecasts over existing popular Bayesian variable selection algorithms.

Forecasting using a large panel of predictors: Bayesian model averaging and principal components regression
We study the out-of-sample forecast performance of two alternative methods for dealing with dimensionality: Bayesian model Averaging (BMA) and principal components regression (PCR). We conduct a different out-of-sample investigation in which the predictors are chosen jointly for both output and inflation using Bayesian variable selection in each out-of-sample recursion using information availab...
متن کاملComparison of Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX with Quadratic Loss Function in Bayesian Dynamic Linear Models: Forecasting of Real Price of Oil
In this paper we intend to examine the application of Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX loss function in Dynamic Linear Model using the real price of oil for 106 years of data from 1913 to 2018 concerning the asymmetric problem in filtering and forecasting. We use DLM form of the basic Hoteling Model under Quadratic loss function, Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX trying to address the ...
متن کاملForecasting in VAR models with large datasets
This paper deals with model selection and forecasting in vector autoregressions (VARs) in situations where the set of available predictors is inconveniently large to accommodate with methods and diagnostics used in traditional small-scale models. Available information over this large dataset can be summarized into a considerably smaller set of variables through factors estimated by the dynamic ...
متن کاملUK Macroeconomic Forecasting with Many Predictors: Which Models Forecast Best and When Do They Do So?
Block factor methods o¤er an attractive approach to forecasting with many predictors. These extract the information in these predictors into factors reecting di¤erent blocks of variables (e.g. a price block, a housing block, a nancial block, etc.). However, a forecasting model which simply includes all blocks as predictors risks being over-parameterized. Thus, it is desirable to use a methodo...
متن کاملComparison of Neural Network Models, Vector Auto Regression (VAR), Bayesian Vector-Autoregressive (BVAR), Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) Process and Time Series in Forecasting Inflation in Iran
This paper has two aims. The first is forecasting inflation in Iran using Macroeconomic variables data in Iran (Inflation rate, liquidity, GDP, prices of imported goods and exchange rates) , and the second is comparing the performance of forecasting vector auto regression (VAR), Bayesian Vector-Autoregressive (BVAR), GARCH, time series and neural network models by which Iran's inflation is for...
