Abstract

A number of procedures for forecasting a time series from its own current and past values are surveyed. Forecasting performances of three methodsBox-Jenkins, Holt-Winters and stepwise autoregression-are compared over a large sample of economic time series. The possibility of combining individual forecasts in the production of an overall forecast is explored, and we present empirical results which indicate that such a procedure can frequently be profitable.
