However, the empirical analysis and especially the forecasting of macroeconomic time series remain difficult due to a lack of sufficient data, data frequency, high volatility, and non-linear developments. These difficulties require more sophisticated approaches to obtain reliable forecasts. Therefore, we propose an improved forecasting method especially for growth data based on a data-driven local linear trend estimation with an extended iterative plug-in algorithm for determining the bandwidth endogenously. This approach allows a smooth trend estimation that takes care of temporary changes in trend processes. Further, the naïve random walk model is extended for forecasting by including a local linear, time-varying drift. We apply this method to GDP development for six developing and two advanced economies and compare different forecast combinations.

Our method utilises the distribution of the <i>K</i>th nearest neighbour volumes, extending planar-based clustering techniques to identify regions of increased point density within a network. This approach is particularly effective for distinguishing overlapping Poisson processes within the same linear network.

Our results reveal distinct clusters of high-density points in road segments where severe traffic accidents (resulting in injuries or fatalities) are most likely to occur, highlighting areas of increased risk. These clusters were primarily located on major arterial roads with high traffic volumes.
