In this paper, we extend the current state-of-the-art cross-sectional probabilistic forecast reconciliation approach to encompass a cross-temporal framework, where temporal constraints are also applied. Our proposed methodology employs both parametric Gaussian and non-parametric bootstrap approaches to draw samples from an incoherent cross-temporal distribution. To improve the estimation of the forecast error covariance matrix, we propose using multi-step residuals, especially in the time dimension where the usual one-step residuals fail. To address high-dimensionality issues, we present four alternatives for the covariance matrix, where we exploit the two-fold nature (cross-sectional and temporal) of the cross-temporal structure, and introduce the idea of overlapping residuals. We assess the effectiveness of the proposed cross-temporal reconciliation approaches through a simulation study that investigates their theoretical and empirical properties and two forecasting experiments, using the Australian GDP and the Australian Tourism Demand datasets. For both applications, the optimal cross-temporal reconciliation approaches significantly outperform the incoherent base forecasts in terms of the continuous ranked probability score and the energy score. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the proposed methods to improve the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts and to address the challenge of integrating disparate scenarios while coherently taking into account short-term operational, medium-term tactical, and long-term strategic planning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14061,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Forecasting","volume":"40 3","pages":"Pages 1134-1151"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169207023001024/pdfft?md5=b9978f6e8d4d5d5d9fff37d9d9c92f92&pid=1-s2.0-S0169207023001024-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135509503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose and study a triptych of diagnostic graphics focusing on distinct and complementary aspects of forecast performance: Reliability curves address calibration, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves diagnose discrimination ability, and Murphy curves visualize overall predictive performance and value. A Murphy curve shows a forecast’s mean elementary scores, including the widely used misclassification rate, and the area under a Murphy curve equals the mean Brier score. For a calibrated forecast, the reliability curve lies on the diagonal, and for competing calibrated forecasts, the ROC and Murphy curves share the same number of crossing points. We invoke the recently developed CORP (Consistent, Optimally binned, Reproducible, and Pool-Adjacent-Violators (PAV) algorithm-based) approach to craft reliability curves and decompose a mean score into miscalibration (MCB), discrimination (DSC), and uncertainty (UNC) components.

Stock control policies are directly affected by the precision of probabilistic demand forecasts. For instance, safety stocks and reorder points are based on those forecasts. However, forecasting and replenishment policies have typically been studied separately. In this work, we explore the influence of inventory assumptions on the selection of the forecasting model<span>. In particular, we consider when the stock policy follows a lost sales context and the demand is estimated by means of sales data. In that case, forecasting models should use censored demand estimations. Unfortunately, the literature about censored demand forecasting remains very limited, without an accepted general solution for this problem. In this work, we bridge that gap by proposing the Tobit Kalman filter (TKF). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the TKF has been applied to supply chain demand forecasting, and this approach may represent a general solution for lost sales contexts. The TKF is compared with a previous ad hoc censored demand forecasting solution that is based on single exponential smoothing. In addition, we show the performance of the TKF when dealing with trends where ad hoc approaches are not available for use as benchmarks. To express the potential benefits of the proposed approach in terms of costs and the service level, a newsvendor stock policy is employed. Simulated demand data and a case study are used to illustrate the significant advantages of the proposed tool.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":14061,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Forecasting","volume":"40 3","pages":"Pages 1055-1068"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135606286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
