In this paper we put forward a new time series model, which describes nonlinearity and seasonality simultaneously. We …-transition nonlinearity and for time-varying seasonality. We find that the model fits the data well for 14 of the 18 series. We also consider … out-of-sample forecasting where we compare forecasts from the SEASTAR models with forecasts from nested models. It turns …

Scanner data for fast moving consumer goods typically amount to panels of time series where both N and T are large. To reduce the number of parameters and to shrink parameters towards plausible and interpretable values, multi-level models turn out to be useful. Such models contain in the second...

Macroeconomic time series such as total unemployment or total industrial production concern data which are aggregated across regions, sectors, or age categories. In this paper we examine if forecasts for these aggregates can be improved by considering panel models for the disaggregate series. As...

The flexibility of neural networks to handle complex data patterns of economic variables is well known. In this survey we present a brief introduction to a neural network and focus on two aspects of its flexibility . First, a neural network is used to recover the dynamic properties of a...

The key feature of this … model is that nonlinearity appears as separate innovation-like variables. Common nonlinearity can then be easily defined as … not the other way around, and also that there is no common nonlinearity across the unemployment variables. …
