讲座摘要:The existing forecasting literature typically assumes a uniform relationship between predictors and the target variable across frequencies, thereby overlooking the heterogeneous predictive information contained in different frequency components. We propose a model averaging approach with real-time frequency decomposition that incorporates such frequency heterogeneity into both candidate model construction and weight selection. At each forecast origin, the proposed method decomposes predictors into frequency-specific components using only information available at that time, constructs component-specific candidate models in which each component separately forecasts the target, and selects combination weights by minimizing a forward-validation criterion. This real-time construction differs from conventional model averaging approaches in that each newly available observation leads to an updated decomposition, which may revise previously obtained component values and thereby make the historical entries of the design matrices forecast-origin-specific. We establish the asymptotic optimality of the selected combination weights in the sense of achieving the lowest possible out-of-sample prediction risk. The convergence rate of the selected weights toward the optimal weights is also derived. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.
