As both forecasting and optimization are difficult problems in their own right, relatively few research has been done in this area.

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.

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

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.
