Abstract
This paper puts forward a new and simple method to combine forecasts, which is particularly useful when the forecasts are strongly correlated. It is based on the Mincer Zarnowitz regression, and a subsequent determination using Shapley values of the weights of the forecasts in a new combination. For a stylized case, it is proved that such a Shapley-value-based combination improves upon an equal-weight combination. Simulation experiments and a detailed illustration show the merits of the Shapley-value-based forecast combination.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Forecasting is an international journal that publishes refereed papers on forecasting. It is multidisciplinary, welcoming papers dealing with any aspect of forecasting: theoretical, practical, computational and methodological. A broad interpretation of the topic is taken with approaches from various subject areas, such as statistics, economics, psychology, systems engineering and social sciences, all encouraged. Furthermore, the Journal welcomes a wide diversity of applications in such fields as business, government, technology and the environment. Of particular interest are papers dealing with modelling issues and the relationship of forecasting systems to decision-making processes.
