Title
Neural Expert Weighting: A NEW framework for dynamic forecast combination
Abstract
Several empirical results on time series indicate that combining forecasts is, on average, better than selecting a single winning forecasting model. The success of the combination approach depends on how well the combination weights can be determined. Focusing on convex combinations – linear combinations with forecast weights constrained to be non-negative and to sum to unity – this paper proposes a new weight generation framework called Neural Expert Weighting (NEW). The framework generates dynamic weighting models based on neural networks, both relaxing in-sample performance dependence and abstracting statistical complexity. Assessed with 15 time series divided into two case studies – petroleum products and NN3 forecasting competition – the NEW models presented promising results.
