The reliability and precision of the weights used in combining individual forecasts, irrespective of the method of combination, is important in evaluating a combined forecast. The objective of this study is not to suggest the 'best' method of combining individual forecasts, but rather to propose exp

It is well known that a linear combination of forecasts can outperform individual forecasts. The common practice, however, is to obtain a weighted average of forecasts, with the weights adding up to unity. This paper considers three alternative approaches to obtaining linear combinations. It is show
## Abstract We examine different approaches to forecasting monthly US employment growth in the presence of many potentially relevant predictors. We first generate simulated outβofβsample forecasts of US employment growth at multiple horizons using individual autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) mo
Croston's method is widely used to predict inventory demand when it is intermittent. However, it is an ad hoc method with no properly formulated underlying stochastic model. In this paper, we explore possible models underlying Croston's method and three related methods, and we show that any underlyi
