Forecast dominance testing via sign randomization. (arXiv:1707.03035v2 [math.ST] UPDATED)
来源于:arXiv
We propose randomization tests of whether forecast 1 outperforms forecast 2
across a class of scoring functions. This hypothesis is of applied interest:
While the prediction context often prescribes a certain class of scoring
functions, it is typically hard to motivate a specific choice on statistical or
substantive grounds. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the test
statistics under mild conditions, avoiding the need to assume particular
dynamic properties of forecasts and realizations. Properties of one-sided tests
depend on a one-sided variant of Anderson's inequality, which we state as a
conjecture of independent interest. Simulation experiments and data examples
indicate that the tests have good size and power properties in practically
relevant situations. 查看全文>>
