Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper describes a family of seasonal and non-seasonal time series models that can be viewed as generalisations of additive and multiplicative exponential smoothing models to model series that grow faster than linear but slower than exponential. Their development is motivated by fast-growing, volatile time series. In particular, our models have a global trend that can smoothly change from additive to multiplicative and is combined with a linear local trend. Seasonality, when used, is multiplicative in our models, and the error is always additive but heteroscedastic and can grow through a parameter sigma. We leverage state-of-the-art Bayesian fitting techniques to fit these models accurately, which are more complex and flexible than standard exponential smoothing models. When applied to the M3 competition data set, our models outperform the best algorithms in the competition and other benchmarks, thus achieving, to the best of our knowledge, the best results of per-series univariate methods on this dataset in the literature. An open-source software package of our method is available. (c) 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of International Institute of Forecasters.
