New Rollcast method offers adaptive probabilistic time-series forecasting

A new probabilistic forecasting method called Rollcast has been introduced, designed for univariate time series. It utilizes a collection of rolling statistical anchors, such as means, medians, and quantiles, to define forecast locations and represent the current state. A learned gate assigns probabilities to these anchors, and residual distributions from similar historical states help quantify local uncertainty. The method was evaluated against an oracle simulator across various data-generating processes, showing competitive empirical coverage but with wider predictive intervals and higher CRPS than the oracle.

    Rollcast: Proper-Score Gated Rolling Anchors for Adaptive Probabilistic Time-Series Forecasting

    arXiv:2609.05561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rollcast is a probabilistic forecasting method for univariate time series that combines a compact set of rolling statistical anchors rather than relying on a single global model. Rolling means, medians, extrema, regression endpoin…
