Combining Predictive Densities Using Bayesian Filtering with Applications to Us Economics Data

Using a Bayesian framework this paper provides a multivariate combination approach to prediction based on a distributional state space representation of predictive densities from alternative models. In the proposed approach the model set can be incomplete. Several multivariate time-varying combination strategies are introduced. In particular, a weight dynamics driven by the past performance of the predictive densities is considered and the use of learning mechanisms. The approach is assessed using statistical and utility-based performance measures forevaluating density forecasts of US macroeconomic time series and of surveys of stock market prices.
