Forecasting Combination Of Hierarchical Time Series: Anovel Method With An Application To COVID-19
Fenga, L.
Show abstract
Multiple, hierarchically organized time series are routinely submitted to the forecaster upon request to provide estimates of their future values, regardless the level occupied in the hierarchy. In this paper, a novel method for the prediction of hierarchically structured time series will be presented. The idea is to enhance the quality of the predictions obtained using a technique of the type forecast reconciliation, by applying this procedure to a set of optimally combined predictions, generated by different statistical models. The goodness of the proposed method will be evaluated using the official time series related to the number of people tested positive to the SARS-CoV-2 in each of the Italian regions, between February 24th 2020 and August 31th 2020.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
