Evaluating density forecasts: forecast combinations, model mixtures, calibrat...
This paper reviews current density forecast evaluation procedures, and considers a proposal that such procedures be augmented by an assessment of sharpness. This was motivated... -
Modeling and forecasting short-term interest rates: The benefits of smooth re...
In this paper we propose a smooth transition tree model for both the conditional mean and variance of the short-term interest rate process. The estimation of such models is... -
Forecasting large datasets with Bayesian reduced rank multivariate models (re...
The paper addresses the issue of forecasting a large set of variables using multivariate models. In particular, we propose three alternative reduced rank forecasting models and...
