Researchers have introduced CAST, a novel method for forecasting distribution-valued time series, which are observed as aggregate distributions rather than simple scalar trajectories. This approach is designed to operate on the probability simplex, preserving its structure throughout the process. CAST demonstrated superior performance across eleven benchmarks, outperforming various statistical, recurrent, convolutional, and Transformer baselines in both one-step and autoregressive forecasting tasks.
