Model selection in reconciling hierarchical time series

1 code implementation21 Oct 2020 Mahdi Abolghasemi, Rob J Hyndman, Evangelos Spiliotis, Christoph Bergmeir

However, when dealing with hierarchical time series, apart from selecting the most appropriate forecasting model, forecasters have also to select a suitable method for reconciling the base forecasts produced for each series to make sure they are coherent.

Hierarchical forecast reconciliation with machine learning

no code implementations3 Jun 2020 Evangelos Spiliotis, Mahdi Abolghasemi, Rob J. Hyndman, Fotios Petropoulos, Vassilios Assimakopoulos

First, the proposed method allows for a non-linear combination of the base forecasts, thus being more general than the linear approaches.

Machine learning applications in time series hierarchical forecasting

no code implementations1 Dec 2019 Mahdi Abolghasemi, Rob J. Hyndman, Garth Tarr, Christoph Bergmeir

We perform an in-depth analysis of 61 groups of time series with different volatilities and show that ML models are competitive and outperform some well-established models in the literature.
